Funny little story....

I will be the first to admit that I am not a very good speaker. Yeah, sure I get my point across, but sometimes it's a struggle to find the right words and Pronunciations. I'm constantly mispronouncing words to the amusement of certain family members and a certain friend..
So,I'm always relieved when I hear someone else messing up a word or phrase. For example.............

Lois and I met at the gym one morning (as we do every morning Mon-Fri). Afterwards she said "I need to go grocery shopping want to go with?" I said "Sure." We get to Kroger and she kept saying very casually.... "I need to get some chicken to grill on my Mike Tyson Grill." After the third time of this, I finally asked.. "What's the difference between..." That's as far as I got. She stopped me and said "Oh my goodness. I meant GEORGE FORMAN grill." We were doubled over laughing. She almost fell to the floor when I said "The difference is a Mike Tyson grill is A LOT healthier. There's always a bite taken out of your food."

However, I'm having a HORRIBLE time deciding which is funnier the Mike Tyson grill or the Polio shirts. What do you think ASHLEY???? You'll have to ask her about the shirts. That's a whole different story.

i'm giving you this face that says, "Jerk I can't believe you brought that up"....I hope you can feel it
j/k lol

I think it's a close tie... but I think polio is a touchy subject so the mike tyson mistake isn't as frowned upon as a polio mistake lol

I know what's going to be the topic of discussion this Thanksgiving. Thanks
