Say What??

Memory Monday~(even though it isn't Monday)

Charlotte told me a hilarious story that involved her hearing a conversation wrong and saying something very funny and it made me think about this one particular time I made an incredible fool of myself.

Several years ago when we lived in Kaysville, my visiting teachers came by to visit. After a lesson I don't particularly remember, but I'm sure was inspirational, we had the following conversation.

Visting teachers: Is Marcus home?

Me: Yup, he's upstairs in our bedroom.

VT's: We're sorry he has to hole up in his room on our account.

Me: No worries. He has his Playboy up there and he likes any excuse to play with it.

VT's: ........(awkward silence)....................(eyes big)......................(mouths open)............

We said our goodbye's and I just couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Ding, ding, ding.

My mind was thinking Play Station and/or Game Boy--and believe me I barely know the difference between all those contraptions, but it definitely didn't come out that way. Big Oops!Did I say I made a fool out of myself? I guess I should say I made a fool out of Marcus that time.

I wouldn't say you made a fool out of Marcus...more like the topic of half the general conference talks.

Oh Lyns...that story just made my day! I can't wait to tell Nate about it.

Funny! I told Daiko just the other day that I was at a friends house and her teenage boys were off of school and they were playing the playboy. He corrected me pretty quick.
