Misunderstandings

For 30 days in late summer, I had my family coming in and out.   It was sheer delight with a different number for dinner every night.   Garden vegetables and fruits were abundant and cooking was fun.
We played games and visited and time stood still.   After everyone left, I could hardly get up in the morning, and morning is usually my favorite time of day.

I am remembering one afternoon when Susanne was trying to get a booster set up for my Wi-Fi.   It had been a real headache and she was talking to the tech support for the booster she had purchased.

Susanne:   " I am trying to get this worked out for my mother and I don't want her to have trouble with it after I leave."
. . ."Well, she gets around ok. . ."

Me:  (indignantly)  "What do you mean?   I get around just fine".

Susanne:  (aside from her conversation)    "She is talking about getting around on the internet."
. . ." Her memory is pretty good."

Me:   "My memory is just fine"

Susanne:   She is talking about your hard drive.
