It's a Classic Line and Other Miscommunications

We were sitting at dinner one night when my then-two-year-old sister decided to say 'what's up doc?' every time she bit a carrot. This of course drove my dad crazy since he was sitting next to her, and she seemed to only eat carrots the entire time we were sitting at the table. Finally, in an attempt to get her to stop, someone asked her where it was from. Of course, we all knew very well it was from Bugs Bunny. But she didn't quite see it that way. She informed us 'it's a classic line'. No one had ever told her that, and to this day we still don't know where she got that from. Sometimes, we don't all think on our feet quite as quick as she did.
A recent conversation with my almost-sophomore brother went something like this: "Oh my head hurts." "Your eyes hurt?" *shake my head* "Your feet hurt?" *give him weird look* "Ooooh, your *thighs* hurt!" He must take after my mom with his hearing, she'll tell us she can't hear us because she doesn't have her contacts in. She is probably the only person in our family that can read lips, but that doesn't mean we laugh at her at less when she's says that. Losing a contact is not good for her. There has been frantic searches over the house for her contacts that she *swears* she left right there. They were then discovered in the fridge. This time, however, Mom was off the hook. My little sister had somehow gotten them and put them in there. So if you're ever looking for a pair of shoes, don't check the shoe rack. Figure out the most unlikely places and that's where you'll most likely find it.
