Those rhyming words in noisy environments....

Chance has decided and declared that he wishes to visit Disneyland. Knowing this, when Chance told me that one of his school friends had missed a week of school for a Disneyland vacation, I brought up the subject during dinner. Chance's siblings had many things to say when I mentioned Disneyland as they also have expressed a desire to visit the land where wishes come true. So the conversation went something like this:

Me: "Chance, how did Peyton like Disneyland?"
Kids at our dinner table: "Disneyland! I want to go to Disneyland!"
"Peyton got to go to Disneyland? For a whole week?!"

Chance: (very confused) "Satan? At Disneyland?"

Everyone at the table suddenly goes silent. Satan after all is not a typical dinner time topic of conversation.

Me: "PEYTON. Did Peyton like Disneyland?"

Chance: "Oh, yeah, he said it was fun!"

It is amazing how just one little letter can change the whole meaning of what your saying :)
