Alis girls Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 As I draw near to 50 and eyesight and hearing being not as good as it was I seem to make more of a twit of myself than ever. My hearing isnt brilliant and my mum lost hers in her 40's and I have had tests and although I dont need an aid yet I fully accept I might in the not too distant future. I struggle most in crowded settings. Yesterday a friend and I turned up a day late for a meeting at the vicarage - some mix up or other and my friend said " oh dont worry we'll go to the pub" to the vicar and his wife. We didnt as I was getting over a sickness bug and she was tired. So today at the social after the memorial service we had all attended the vicar came up and said to me " are you going to the pub?" blimey I thought 3 o clock in the afternoon so I replied " oh its a bit early for me - prob in my youth 3 o clock would have been ok" - yes you've guessed he actually said " did you go to the pub" I felt a right twit and we laughed at my faux pas - I said to OH he must think I was a scarlet woman in my youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaLayla Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I mishear things too. The best one was when I was playing badminton and chatting to my friend over the net. I had told her some story or other and then I thought she said that she had gout and naturally I expressed concern about this. She actually said that I shouldn't be allowed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I do this all the time The most recent one that I can think of is when someone said to me "I like cooking"... I replied "You like COCAINE!?!?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 love it - the amazing thing is he is what you imagine an English vicar to look like and bearing a cup and saucer in hand makes it more so. OH and DS think I'm nuts - glad I'm not alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
