You Say I Hear

I mishear things all the time and sometimes people find it funny. Mostly, I find it funny, but I thought I'd share some as they come along. 

2/12/11:
Becca: I told my dad that all I want is to be able to go to India... like... just pay for me to get there or something.
I heard: I told my dad that all I want is to be able to go to Ikea... like just pay for me to get there or something.

Maybe not as funny not that I type it out, but it was at the moment. India, Ikea.... what's the difference...

12/5:

Neither of these is that funny but whatever. 

Sarah and I were asking about each other's days. I asked her how she was. 

Sarah said: "Really well, thanks." 

I heard: "Miserable." 

... what the hell, brain? 

There was some sort of Christmas party thingy today and there were candy canes, and I was asking Becca if the green and red ones were peppermint flavored or something else (I'm sorry but fruit-flavored candy canes are just wrong). Anyways, she told me they were normal, and then I told her how I felt about fruit-flavored candy canes. Then we moved on and something else happened and a minute later I heard: "blah blah gargle bumblebee."I said, "What?" And she said, "Gargle gargle blah bumblebee." Now mom always told me that if I heard something that sounded completely random and wrong, I probably didn't hear it right. Which is why I asked Becca to repeat what she said AGAIN (poor Becca). Usually I get it after the first "what" but not today. And the third time I heard "Blah gargle blah peppermint." I still have no idea what she was trying to say, but I felt like I was being frustrating, so I stopped asking. At least now i know that it was peppermint and not bumblebee. But really-- how does my head confuse peppermint and bumblebee? Those don't look the same when lipread! Gah.
