Fun with English

Czarina: Yesterday, I saw two people die.
Me: WHAT?
Hoodie Girl: She means she saw a funeral procession with two hearses.


I took Space Cadet to the doctor's because of an upper respiratory infection. I was telling Prince Charming about the medicines the doctor prescribed, including steroids.
Czarina: I thought steroids are bad.
Me: They are bad if you misuse them, like when athletes take large amounts every day to make themselves stronger. They are okay if you use them the way the doctor tells you to, to help you get better when you are sick.
. . . a little while later. . .
Hoodie Girl: Mom? Czarina said you are giving Space Cadet marijuana?

This is how rumors get started. . .
