I have a habit of misreading things like the time I saw a poster for a salsa class and thought I’d give it a go. I took along took a bag of tortilla chips and ended up dancing!
I once made a major blunder when booking what I thought to be a cruise on a luxury yacht. The advert offered a sailing trip like no other. They got that right! The ship had sails, but not exactly like the ones I was expecting!
Instead of fine dining, fine wines and fine entertainment we took turns cooking, drank tepid tea and played cards. As for scrubbing the decks and climbing up to the crow’s nest, it was more like punishment than pleasure.
Those of you that have read my tales over the years will be well aware of my friend Rosey’s numerous misunderstandings. Like when she thought she had a date with a barrister only to discover he was actually a barista at Starbucks! Well, recently Rosey and I were invited to the marina for a soiree aboard Posh Parvinder’s ‘Gin Palace’. We were instructed to wear something fancy, but both got the wrong message and assumed it meant fancy dress! How stupid we felt standing there amid the suited and booted guests, dressed as pirates!
You won’t believe this! I attended a football match at my lad’s school yesterday, and a teacher asked if I was the father of one of her children! I didn’t know what to say!

Keith's Ramblings 
You did as least one thing right. Whenever I have an afternoon card party, four or five tables of bridge, I serve salted peanuts, chocolate M&Ms, licorice pieces etc. The girls won’t come if I put out cheap gumdrops. The cards become so dirty and sticky that I have to scrub every deck twice so they will be ready for my husband’s evening poker game. As if his grubby, grimy little gang of gamblers would notice the difference.

The only polite response to the teacher would have been ‘I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure.’ 😉 Fun ramble as always, Keith.

Allow me to add to the ‘ols that follow this story.
How more productive (albeit difficult) is it to find the humor in situations that might otherwise cause embarrassment.
(Really like this Rosey person.)

Absolutely so although the teacher is still unsure if he’s the parent of one of her students, and wondering why you lot are laughing!

Still laughing, Keith. I enjoyed your ramblings. You and that Rosey are quite a pair.
I’d have written a story too, had I not been helping me auld mucker get his book ready for publication on amazon. Tomorrow, I hope. A story, not the book, but that’ll be soon…

When misunderstandings…er MISINTERPRETATIONS…come so easily, it makes the most sense to just roll with the surprises and have a good time. Another fine, funny flash, Keith!
