What’s the funniest misunderstanding you’ve ever been part of?
The scene- my living room on a Saturday morning
The date- circa 1986-87
Eating my bowl of Cheerios with my 12-year-old nephew,who spent the night here at Grandma’s house while his parents were away, Grandma ( my mom ) was tidying things up when she sat down and felt something sharp. She picked it up and it was a diamond studded earring.
Immediately, she gets on me for leaving my jewelry around. I explain its not mine. I only have one pair, and they are presently in my ears.
She said they couldn’t be hers since she did not have pierced ears.
” Well if they’re not yours, and they’re not mine, then who’s are they?”
” Oh, that’s mine,” my nephew chimed in, “Thanks, Gran.”
My mother gave me the deer in the headlights look and I laughed my head off.
