misheard words

Who hasn't heard somebody say something and misunderstood them? It's a very common occurrence, especially in teenagers. Honestly it's happened to me so many times that I can't even think of one that sticks out so much. The only time I can think of is when it was super hot outside. The sun was so strong that you didn't want to do anything at all. It was a Monday morning (Monday's are when the garbage gets taken out). My mom came into my room on at a very early time and asked me to check if the garbage was gone when I got up. When I woke up I couldn't quite remember what she told me but I remembered the word gone, except I interpreted it lawn. So I mowed the lawn. It was brown for awhile. I realized my mistake when my mom called and asked if the garbage was GONE or if the holiday had screwed up the schedule.
