    My teens are in the room and asking why I'm choking/crying/shaking with laughter. I REALLY can't tell them :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Years ago, he was reading an article in the newspaper, which had described a serial killer's acts as "grisly murders." My boyfriend looked totally dumbfounded and asked me "Why would somebody go around killing bears?" Oh dear.

    **spitting out tea at my desk** HILARIOUS.

    Okay so when I was a very young kid my parents told me that I get black feet when I drink too much Coke, so me trying to figure it out made my parents speechless the next time we went out. I saw a couple of black people and said to my parents really loud so that everyone could hear it that they must have drunk far too much coke, because they where black all over.

    Mine:
    I grew up in Mississippi and had never heard of Rodeo Drive. When I moved to Phoenix at 19, I was working in the mall and there was a store we used to refer people to called Off Rodeo Drive. Being from where I am, I pronounced it RoDEo (like a country rodeo). It took weeks for my co-workers to convince me that it was Ro-DAY-o Drive.

    Husband:
    He thought Donny and Marie Osmond were married. Until he made a comment about it one day and I started cracking up and told him they were siblings.

    Mother-in-Law:
    Refers to the restaurant Johnny Rockets as Johnny Jump-ups.

    Best Friend's Daughter:
    She would sing the country song Some Beach as Some B!tch. She did this at the top of her lungs. In Target. She was about 5 and argued with me about the correct lyrics of the song. Again at the top of her lungs. And would then continue singing it her way.

    I thought couscous was a breed of dog and For the song "don't stop believing" I thought the line was "hold on to the ceiling" instead of "hold on to that feeling"

    I kept seeing people walking around with bags, badges, T-Shirts and the like that said "I <3 PB" and thought for a long time that it meant "I Love Peanut Butter" rather than "I Love Paul's Boutique"

    Neither make sense really.

    Maybe the clothing is named after the BEASTIE BOY'S album...???

    Today is National Peanut Butter Lover's Day so, even if it usually stands for Paul's Boutique, it definitely stands for Peanut Butter today.

    I know this isn't the right way, but I always have fun with that Marmoset Song from the 1960's:

    "Marmoset there'd be days like these -
    Marmoset, marmoset...

    It took me hours to convince my ex it was In a Godda Da Vida and not In the garden of Eden lol

    The rumour about this song was that it was supposed to be "In the garden of Eden", but they were so high, it came out In a Godda Da Vida...

    From Queen's "Bohemian Rapsody" my best friend thought the line was "gotta moush, gotta moush...." instead of Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango.

    I died laughing when she told me that one day.

    When I was learning the alphabet, I thought lmnop was one letter pronounced "elementa-pee".

    That's funny my little sister used to say HIJK "CAMEL" and a P. We still like to say it that way, it's just fun! And when my oldest daughter was about 2 yrs old we had Salisbury Steak for dinner one night and she ask if she could have more Chocolate Snake! We still call it that to this day and she is 12 now.

    These have seriously made my day, my face is going to be sore from smiling!

    For pretty much most of my life I thought the "Scaramouch, Scaramouch wil you do the fandango" line in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was saying "Got a Moose? Got a Moose? Wanna do the Fandango?" I was confused at what dancing moose had to do with anything and also how someone would dance with them...

    Tea Bagging....
    When I was a pre-teen, tea-bagging was a caffeine rush derived by sucking on tea-bags, and then jumping around with a slight high. Fast forward 30 years.

    I saw some tea-bags dumped in the trash, and my son, aged 15, had a sleep-over with several of his friends. My wife had dumped those tea-bags, but I didn't know that. I jokingly said "I see you guys were tea-bagging - eh?"

    They all looked at me wide-eyed, embarrassed. I continued...
    "Oh come on! I used to do that with my friends years ago" - and so the conversation went.
    I left it at a that, and it was not until later that night at a party that somebody advised me of my mistake.

    I WAS APPALLED!

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Can't breathe!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    When my daughter was little, she came home from preschool one day and asked if I could buy some "Chips of Hoy" cookies like they had at school.

    When my son was little, we were watching a Mariners game, and he asked his dad who the third "basement" was.
