Misunderstandings Can Be Hilarious
Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 6, 2022 (message contributor)
Misunderstandings happen all the time. Here are some:
My toddler was about to hit her head on a bar at the playground, so I told her to duck. She quacked at me and then hit her head.
A guy ran into a service station and said he needed some 710. They had no idea what he was talking about. So he took off the oil lid from his motor and handed it to the mechanic. It said “710.” When he turned it around, it said “OIL,” all in capital letters.
When I was 5 or 6, I was told to watch my baby cousin who was asleep on the couch. I did. I watched her roll off the couch and onto the floor.
Or how about the 7 year old who told his dad he was done with the homework. The dad asked, “You did it?” The child replied, “That’s not what I said.”
A mom asked her son, as she was pulling out of a parking space on the street, if there were any cars coming. He answered, “No.” Just in time, however, he said, “But there is a truck.”
