The Horrors Of Mispronunciation, Part 6
(I work in the large children’s section of a popular independent bookstore in our area.)
Customer: “Do you guys carry those train wreck books?”
Me: “Hmmm, I’m not familiar with anything like that. Is it a series, or maybe something from non-fiction?”
Customer: “Yeah, It’s a series. The Trainwreck Kids!”
(A light bulb goes on in my head.)
Me: “Oh, wait, do you mean The Boxcar Children?”
Customer: *blushes and starts to laugh* “Yeah, that’s it!”
