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. . .

Thanks for the gut chuckle! How funny! Space cadet will be even spacier . . .

My mom's native language is German and we have a long list of things she has said. The latest was, "Tammy, did you know that Jane got a vascetomy?"

In the world, not of it said...

OMGOSH! That is so funny? What did Jane actually get?
