03 Aug Mom Admires Dog At A Cafe, Later Finds Out It’s A Purse

Anyone with even remote vision problems knows what it’s like to think you’re looking at one thing… before embarrassingly realising it is something entirely different. I have personally mis-recognized many people in my life, waving to some stranger like a dumb*ss until I’m three feet away from them and realise they are, in fact, not my friend Alex.

Because I’ve been on the struggle bus when it comes to vision issues, I typically try to sympathise with people who make these same mistakes … except for now. No, now is different… because this case utterly hilarious.

Let’s start from the beginning. Hannah Murphy, a comedian and writer who lives in California, flew home to Yonkers, New York, for the weekend to visit her parents. While visiting, she and her mother, Jenny, decided to take a bike ride and get some food at a local cafe called La Lanterna.

After ordering some wine, Hannah went to the restroom, and when she returned she noticed her mother gazing in the direction of another table, with a look of adoration in her eye. With her glass of sauvignon blanc in hand, Jenny had been spending minutes admiring what she thought was a dog, a miniature dachshund to be specific.

But little did she know that she had just spent that whole time looking lovingly toward a lifeless, brown leather purse.
