"Mom," my eleven-year-old daughter said. "Can you make me some toxic milk?"
"Excuse me?" I asked. "How am I supposed to do that?"
"Just pour some milk in a glass and add toxic syrup. Come on, Mom. You know how to do it!"
"You want me to poison you?" I asked.
The girl looked at me like I had twenty-six eyeballs. "What are you talking about, Mom?"
"Toxic milk."
She started laughing. "No, Mom. Chocolate. Chocolate milk."
"Oh," I said. "That makes more sense. You need to speak a little more clearly."
"And you need to get your hearing checked."
Right.
Haha! Have a great weekend, Sherry. ☺
ReplyDeleteThanks! You too!
DeleteI would have thought it'd be green. :) Have a beautiful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThen it truly would be toxic! I wish you a beautiful weekend as well.
DeleteHA! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
You too!
DeleteGame set and match.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week-end.
Yvonne.
Thanks. You too!
DeletePerhaps you’d better have that hearing checked. Musicians have trouble with their hearing, particularly viola players :-)
ReplyDeleteI should know, I’m married to one and he never hears what I tell him.
Hey, was that a viola joke? ;)
DeleteToxic to chocolate, you got played
ReplyDeleteYep. It happens all the time! ;)
DeleteI read this out to Spawn and he thought it was very funny. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should give him some toxic milk! :0)
DeleteThe words I think I hear are so much more interesting than what people actually say.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Isn't that the truth! And I bet it gets more interesting the older you get!
DeleteYou better believe it. I also read words incorrectly.
DeleteYou brightened up my morning. {Going to work on a weekend}. Have a lovely weekend Sherry :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to work. Hope you enjoy your weekend, anyway!
DeleteThis is just so adorable that I had to share the link on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks!
DeleteVery cute, for a minute I thought she was willing to go to extremes just so she wouldn't have to move!
ReplyDeleteThat would be extreme, even for her!
DeleteLOL! My hearing isn't what it used to be and these kinds of things happen to me more than I care to admit--ROFL! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy husband says he's having trouble understanding our daughter, too, so maybe we both need our hearing checked!
DeleteAt first I thought this was a new dangerous trend, like the cinnamon challenge.
ReplyDeleteHa! That would be frightening!
DeleteHa, ha. Sherry, I think you should arrive home one day wearing a hearing aid as a joke. You could have a lot of fun with that idea.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back in September. Have a fabulous summer. :-)
Heck, one day I probably will arrive home with a hearing aid, and I'll actually need it! ;)
DeleteI'm glad you double-checked!
ReplyDeleteMe too! ;)
DeleteLOL! I have conversations like that with my 12 yr old, except he's usually the one who misheard, and his dad is standing right there to verify it. Kids are awesome. ;)
