My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #809

I had to do some heavy lifting for The New Yorker  Cartoon Caption Contest #809 from the issue of July 4, 2022. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Julia Suits.

"I still feel we forgot something."




Just try to unpack these unused captions:

"Did we really need the granite countertops?"
"To hell with Airbnb!"
"Thank goodness we didn't get one of those McMansions."
"You and I have different definitions of 'roughing it.'"
"We forgot helium."





July 22, 2022 Update:  The Finalists







July 25, 2022 Update:
  I voted for the caption from West Tisbury, which seems a near-relative to my own.
