Some Good Stories

There have been many occasions where my hearing interpretations lended themselves to comical relief.

One of the classics was a confusion over PJ's and bananas. Yes. I'm serious.


Back in my early tweens, had some friends over for a sleepover. One of the girls had neglected to bring her nighties, and so asked me if she could have some pajamas. I said "Sure!" and sprinted up the stairs from the basement. When I came back, I handed her a banana

She gave me a look of perplexion. She then said "No, I need a PAIR of pajamas". I thought to myself what on earth does someone need a pair of bananas, at 2am??. But I went back up stairs, and brought down yet another banana.


The friend gave a huge sigh of exasperation, and finally just tugged my pants. I then had the light bulb moment, at which the other 10 girls who'd now been watching bust up laughing.

We ended up covering the bananas in whipped cream and eating them, while watching movies with Devon Sawa. Oh, those were the days.
