On my 11th or 12th birthday, I had dinner and a slumber party planned with my three good friends. We (me, my friends, and my parents) came home from dinner to find my 70ish y.o. grandma sitting on the couch in FOOTIE pajamas. She acted a little looney and said "I'm here for your party!"

I didn't really give it much thought, until the doorbell started ringing and about 10-12 of my aunts/uncles/cousins all file in wearing their pj's. One of my male cousins, who was in his 20's at the time, had oreos mashed up and somehow stuck to his face, and he was acting like he was 5.

I remember being very gracious to everyone, and we all enjoyed cake and ice cream and some laughs, but I was MORTIFIED (especially at the self conscious stage of my life that I was in). And I'll never forget the looks on my friends faces. Crazy stuff.
