Is this a "senior moment" or a hearing problem? I had a delightful lunch with Chelle yesterday. She had met me in Tulsa to go to my CT Scan. I had misunderstood several things people were saying to me and my daughter kept murmuring under her breath, "miracle ear, miracle ear". As the waiter approached our table for the third time, he said something and I burst out laughing. My daughter immediately knew I had not heard clearly what he said. Quickly she handed him my menu and said thank you then to me: "Mother, the waiter said 'Do you want me to take your menu' What did you think he said?" and I replied "Do you want me to come home with you?"
Well, was he good looking? Was it a hearing problem, an old age thing or perhaps just wishful thinking?
ReplyDeleteI am sure he was good looking but more than half my age. My story was funny but your comment was funnier. LOL
DeleteHave you gotten a Miracle Ear since? I have misheard some things myself, none half as funny!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to spend money on a hearing aid because everyone I know that has one doesn't use it for very long. They are very, very expensive.
DeleteAre you sure your daughter heard correctly? Sounds to me like he was hitting on you.
ReplyDeleteHey wouldn't that have been fun? LOL I'm cute but not that cute. The waiter was about 20.
DeleteBeen there and done that.....answered wrong questions and misunderstood statements. Ah Welll......it could be worse.
ReplyDeleteRon and I both were hard of hearing and we had some very unusual conversations with mistaken comments.
DeleteSo funny. But did you say yes?
ReplyDeleteMy horrified daughter cut me off before I had a chance to accept. LOL
DeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteFunny it is true.
DeleteOops. Love OSC's answer.
ReplyDeleteI agree. She is very clever.
DeleteOh how funny...you should have told him "No I'm not going straight how!" lol
ReplyDeleteI guess I was laughing so hard I couldn't come up with anything good like that.
DeleteThat is funny, but does sound like a hearing problem.
ReplyDeleteIt did help to get the wax cleaned out of my ears a while later. LOL
Deleteoh my... I have similar hearing problems but have yet to be mistakenly propositioned. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a good thing I didn't jump up and grab his arm and start pulling him out of the restaurant.
DeleteOh my gosh -t hat was funny girl!
ReplyDeleteYes I have made some funny mistakes in my life.
DeleteOh my goodness that is so funny...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely something you would get a kick out of Jimmy.
DeleteWow how funny is that!!! I love it and I can see why you burst out laughing, I would have too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Saimi. Glad to see you here and to find your blog.
DeleteNow I can't stop giggling - ears that hear are good to have.
ReplyDeleteI do wear my new ones now and again. I find I'm enjoying any tv I watch more now I can actually understand what they are saying :)
Cathy, I rely on closed captioning unless kids and grandkids are here. They hate it. I don't see why.
DeleteROTFL :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteWell I am glad you liked it Ram. It was pretty funny:-)
DeleteHahahahahahaha! No words needed!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou got that right Lee. LOL
DeleteSometimes we hear what we want to hear.
ReplyDeleteThat very well could be Olga. If I remember correctly, he was pretty cute:-)
DeleteHahahahahahaha
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahah
This was funny. You are
funny. Thanks for sharing.
Boogie boogie, baby!
When I stumbled across this old post I laughed also. It is fun to relive the past funny moments. You are funny also and I love reading your blog posts and watching your YouTube videos.
DeleteWell, it’s now 5 years later. I’m wondering how your hearing is doing? I think sometimes I should be tested but every friend I have that got a hearing aid lets it home in the drawer. I just tell my Grands to speak louder! Bob and I are getting accustomed to saying! “What?” to each other.
ReplyDeleteRon used to accuse me of speaking badly and I used to accuse him of being deaf. Seems we both had a problem. LOL I would say my hearing is still poor but it is rare anyone is around to notice.
DeleteI was here ages ago - unable to comment from home for some weird reason. I do an old lady bad hearing joke constantly at work, by saying What I thought it was out loud. Like: "You want me to Whack you? Ok hold still" When they want a rack.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is so hilarious! I hear better than my husband and often have to repeat things for him since he often forgets his 'miracle ears'.
