I gave Daughter the chores of cleaning 2 toilets but Son was overloaded with homework and I told him to let me know when he was ready for his assignment.
Daughter walked through the kitchen with her scrubbing equipment and what I heard Son say was:
When did you get assigned chores?”
but what he really said was:
When did you get cyan shorts?”
It was true that Son hadn’t seen the back-to-school ensemble so he was curious but because I had just been assigning chores, what I heard made sense to me. My kids think I’m daffy in what I hear vs what they really say.
