Misunderstood !!!?

Question

I was just thinking about past Christmas's and pondering on the parties etc,(not that I went to many though) and I had to chuckle about the time I went to a new years eve party and was told everyone HAD to wear fancy dress, so I got me a lovely outfit, I was going as a 1920's Flapper, it was a very cute dress, I was slim then..... I heard my Son chatting to friends on his phone, the conversation went..."Ye, we've all got our outfits...and guess what, my Mum is going as a SLAPPER" ..... omg.... I nearly died laughing......after a very speedy explanation to my Son
So, my question is, have you experienced someone misunderstand what word you used that turned out to funny

all your answers are great!!! I'm laughing so much....keep them comming ...please

Answer 1

Children are famous for this. When my three year old sneezed he'd say "I need a "tennis-shoe". (tissue)

When he was four the words to a bedtime song were "and I'd cover her up, all but her head". He eventually asked "why was she all butterhead"

I wish I could hold that little boy for five minutes jus one more time.

One more; Mother calls Heber Springs, Arkansas "Hebrew Springs" yes, a bit golden girlie.

Blessings- Juju

Answer 2

Someone on Seniors put a Questions up. "Are you a Chanel Flipper?" Being from South Africa, living in Australia, I thought - well he spelled the word wrong. He must have meant a Flapper" (which is a tap dancer), but I could not work out what, "Chanel FLAPPER meant" Until I had to read the answers. We call it Channel Surfing.


Then there was a question about, "putting granny on the top of the Christmas tree". Well, it was then that I thought; MAN, these Americans, the poor old lady. Until someone emailed me and explained.

Answer 3

Several years ago, probably about 20, I was leaving a bad marriage.
I grabbed my son who was a little over a year old and headed for the bus station.
Travis asked me, "Mommy, where are we going?"
I told him Miami
We hopped the bus and off we rode.
Approx a year later, we were in Texas, riding down the road with Grandma, when a Greyhound bus drove by.
Travis turned to his Grandma and stated," There goes Mommy's ami"

Answer 4

A few years back I bought tennis rackets for me and my son. We would go hit the ball around for fresh air and exercise. One day he got the rackets ready and asked if I wanted to go tennissing. When the kids were little one was always loosing at the board games and he was told you lost. He decided that he did not like that and said " I hate losting"

Answer 5

Now you have brought back some memories! Bit of a long story but I have to share it.

My niece picked up her 3 year old from nursery and the teacher explained that she had asked all the children to make a sentence about themselves, and her little one said. "My name is Ben and I smell of blue cheese"

Teacher wanted to know what he meant. My niece prentended she didn't know.

Reason being. Every night Ben's dad teases him at bath time and says, " Bathtime Ben, you smell of poo and cheese!" lol

Answer 6

This is along the same lines, I suppose. My Mother use to say that my uncle had grout! She meant Gout but didn't realize the difference. I tried to explain to her that Grout is what you find in the bathroom tile and Gout is what occurs in ones joints. She never caught on. She also referred to FAX machines as Flax machines. She wasn't an uneducated woman, just a bit Edith Bunker/Rose Nylan(golden girls)at times.

Answer 7

My son got a car with a remote controller. At 8 he called it a MO CONTRO. Didn't realize his error.

I worked with a Filipino on one of my ships who had taken a phone call from my junior high (middle school?) son. He said my son needed two paper clips. I grabbed two out of my desk on the way out. I gave them to him when I got home. He asked what the paper clips were for. I said, "Bayan said you needed 2 paper clips." Son said, "No! I said PAPER CUPS!" And thinking back, that's pretty much what Bayan said...with his bad accent.

Answer 8

My first radio job was at KTAP Crete,Ne.I had to do the news and the boss ran in with a news script that I had no chance to pre-read (he was a prankster) . The story should of read as "micro-organisms", but I read it as "micro-orgasims".They ,as well as most of the town, had a good laugh.

Answer 9

I still remember Art Linkletter's program on TV Kids say the Darndest Things. Had to be the best kids and adult shows on TV at that time. Always laughing.

Answer 10

My son learned something new in school one day, he said mom, do you know a lot of Italians live in Italy?

My other son used to make "goat" carts instead of go carts
