Jenna: Me neither, I just know we have one.
(several minutes of laughter and strange glances)

Missing the point
Um...
"How can you be a famous chemist?"
"Er... what?"
"It just said "one of Great Britain's most famous chemists". What's that, someone who got top marks for selling thrush cream to people?"
"Uh... a famous scientist... working in the field of chemistry?"
"...Yes, that would probably be more likely."
My sister and me on the phone last night. (I don't know if "chemist" is synonymous with "pharmacist" outside the UK.) In other news, the library where I just moved has all kinds of relatively obscure Neil Gaiman things that I haven't seen anywhere else. I mention this for no reason other than that it makes me happy.
(Edit: Yeah, I didn't move into the library. That'll teach me to read more carefully.)

Misheard restatements
Um...
"I can't tell if this is organized chaos, or just overwhelming chaos. It must be right on the tusk."

"I'm bigger, stronger, AND faster than you!"
"But I'VE got six chaos emeralds!"
~Another stupid argument among my brothers, this time the 7- and 3-year-old. Obviously the 3-year-old has been playing too much Sonic the Hedgehog.
