Mom: “Hey, can you run a little errand for me?”
Me: “Sure.”
Mom: “Okay, here’s the list.”
(I go to the supermarket to buy the things that are listed. One item on the list is ‘chicken thai’. I chalk it up as awkward wording and go to the frozen foods section. Over there, I pick up a few prepackaged meals that claim to be ‘Thai Cuisine’ and contain chicken.)
Me: “Okay, I’m back.”
(I hand the groceries over to my mom, and she goes through them to make sure I got everything.)
Mom: *picks up frozen meal* “What’s this?”
Me: “It’s some Thai chicken thing.”
Mom: “Why would you get that?”
Me: “It was on the list.” *points to item on list*
Mom: “No! I need chicken thighs!”
Me: “No, what you need is a dictionary.”
