Everyone knows someone who pays little attention when you talk to them but then tries to reply to what you were talking about and comes up with something completely absurd based on what they "think" they heard. Well, here's an example of just that. . .

A few days ago as Tripp was studying for his A&P final, Emerson was running around the house trying to get his attention. Of course she was being loud and silly and Tripp was tempted to leave the books to play but they had already had "Daddy play time" and I knew I needed to intervene so that Tripp could study.
So I said, "Emerson, give Daddy some peace and quiet."
She replied, "Let Daddy pee the potty???" (with a very confused look on her face).

Case in point!
