Misunderstanding

November 24th, 2007

Mom and I were peeling and cutting potatoes (we’re having our Thanksgiving dinner today, and people are coming over).
“Mom, are we having Chocolate French Silk Pie?” I asked. That’s my favorite kind of pie.
“No, we didn’t have any graham crackers.”
“Hey, what if we ask the boys to get some graham cracker crusts?” The boys had gone to Walmart to get stuffing and stuff.
“Sure, call them quick!”
I called. One of them answered, “Hi.”
“Hi, are you still at Walmart?”
Now, this is where the misunderstanding came in. Ben didn’t hear me says “Are you still at Walmart?” He only heard “Hi” then a blank space, so he said “Hi” again. But I heard “Aye”, like Eric says for yes.
So I said, “Can you get two graham cracker crusts please?”
“Um, I’m by Nate’s.” Nate is the “next door” neighbor.
“But I thought you said you were at Walmart still!”
“No…I didn’t hear you ask if you were at Walmart.”
“I did! I said ‘Hi, are you still at Walmart?’”
“I heard ‘Hi’ then a pause, so I said ‘Hi’ again!”
We laughed so hard!
