Hi All. Here’s a funny one. I work in the events industry, where anything can happen. A while back I was talking with a colleague about what she was seeing as the latest and greatest. I was surprised to “hear” her say that the former model Kate Moss was doing amazing things with bondage. After a little back and forth, I discovered that what she actually said was the Cake Boss was doing amazing things with fondant. Always pays to double check AND keep your sense of humor 🙂 Merry, merry!

That is funny. And you will notice that so many of the words or phrases we mishear are those that are not used in everyday conversation so our ears are not attuned to understanding them. How many times have you used “fondant “ in the past year lol.

I try to refrain from responding sometimes if I think I didn’t hear right.
I had someone in my gym class dead and buried a few months ago when she was alive and well. Glad I asked a close friend who said they were talking about her close friend who did come to the gym occasionally, and that was why we had not seen who I thought had passed in recent weeks.

I’ll try to remember some of the funny ones that had my family on the floor crying laughing.
