If you are a mom you can relate to this--you have a head full of stuff you're thinking about and your child begins speaking something to you out of the blue that is utterly incomprehensible. Anyway, it seems to be happening a lot to me lately. Here are some recent misunderstandings that have resulted in a wonderful belly-laugh.
What I heard:
"Did you know there are rare legos dipped in coffee?"
What he actually said:
"Did you know there are rare legos that are Egyptian coffins?"
What I heard:
"I couldn't hear you because I was playing in the meadow."
What he actually said:
"I couldn't hear you because of the clinking of the metal."
What I heard:
"Have you seen my barfing dog?"
What he actually said:
"Have you seen my barking dog?"
I have been having this same problem lately. Maybe there is something floating around in the air clogging up our ears?
