Get it? See what I did with the title there? Today’s blog highlights some of my favorite misunderstandings of recent times.
1. I was reading to Leo and we came across the word “limousine.”
Me: Do you know what a limousine is, Leo?
Leo: No.
Me: It’s a long, stretched out car that has lots of fun stuff inside—like a mini refrigerator, fancy snacks, maybe even a TV—and you would just drive in one when you’re going somewhere special.
Leo: I know—like when you go camping!
Eh. Close enough.
2. The backstory to the following conversation is way too long for your puny little attention spans, but you don’t need it to understand the conversation. Okay, here goes:
Me: Rocco, do you know any swear words?
R: Yes. One.
Me: You do?!
R: Yes. I learned it from my big buddy.
Me: Wow. What letter does it start with?
R: F
Me: Can you spell it for me? It won’t get you in trouble to just spell it for me here.
R: I don’t want to.
Me: I promise, it’s okay to spell it to me now—I just want to know what word you learned.
R, cautiously, almost in a whisper: Okay. It’s M-I-D-D-L-E F-I-N-G-E-R.
3. During another reading session with Leo we came across the word “headdress.”
Me: Do you know what a headdress is, Leo?
Leo: Yes. It’s like a thing that goes around your head and then comes down your back a little bit.
Me: Exactly! How did you know that?
Leo: Because I saw one in your wedding picture.
Same dif, right?

Nerdy Rice Krispie treats with frosting and whipped cream (an abomination of a dessert that Leo dreamed up one day and I helped him make)
