When I was a little girl, I heard my mom say, "St. Louis weather! Chili today and hot tamale." Well, that is what I thought she said. Now I realize she said "Chilly today and hot tomorrow."
Actually the weather is bipolar at the moment. Freezing this morning and the temperature will rise to 80 degrees tomorrow.
I like warmth, so I will take 80 over 32 any day. Spring storms ripped across the US and caused death and destruction. Our town had trees uprooted and power lines down, but only a few skinny tree limbs in our backyard.
Did you ever misspeak, or misinterpret something you heard?
Be careful when you right to use the correct spelling and write tense.
I will tell you something about those who reply to this post.

We are experiencing climate anomality. The joke says that during this decade we'll have two options: freezing and melting. I wish it were a joke, but who knows.
I will take warmth over cold too. It is so easy to misunderstand what someone says or to unintentionally write (or right)the wrong word. ;)
Write/right, either way, you're good at what you do! And coincidentally, my mother said the same thing, only she really DID say "tamale." She thought it was a clever play on words. :)
You made me scan before I posted this. :-)
Since he could talk, my son Genius has given a lengthy explanation when I chastise his behavior. When he was 3 or 4, I said, "You're going to grow up to be a lawyer." Genius declared, "I am not a lawyer! YOU are a lawyer!" Apparently, he interpreted "lawyer" to be "liar."
I sometimes have trouble using the write tents. Butt I try my best.
I can pretty much unofficially tell who is left brained and who is right brained (if there really is such a thing) and I can almost predict which of you are first borns or assertive: those who pointed out my deliberate grammar mistakes. this was fin. Thanks.
Until I was in my late 20's I thought a candleabra was called a candle opera.
