"Don't get me wrong, he's no Joe!"

So two very funny things happened between Joe and me today. I was trying to find a cartoon of some kind to help illustrate the situation. I couldn't find anything and then i thought of Return to Me. If you've seen this movie you probably remember the part with Bonnie Hunt's difficult line, "Grace has Bob's dead wife's heart." When "Joe" comes in and hears the situation he automatically starts thinking in one way which is completely different from what the women are thinking. This is what happened to us today, twice.
After we got home from church today Joe was going to hometeach our neighbors. We had been talking something else not related to him leaving. Then when he was half way out the door I said, "This is your only family right?" Joe looked puzzled and replied, "What do you mean? Like I have a "second" family that I'm going to?" I hadn't even though how my sentence could've lead to that kind of interpretation. I meant that he only had one family to go visit. I'm still laughing about it, 9 hours later.

The other experience is a CLASSIC miscommunication story. I had worn a new dress to church today. Joe had accompanied me to pick out a dress so it was his opinion that helped me to decide to get this dress. While we were walking home from church I told him that 3 people had asked me today if I was pregnant. Joe did not respond to this comment. So I kept talking about the three people that had asked me. Still no response. Finally I told him that it was because I had said something to one of those 3 women about me feeling like I was pregnant. She had then spread it to these other people. Joe still didn't say much about it. After he returned from hometeaching and we were hanging out he confessed that when he heard me say, "Three people asked me if I was pregnant..." he instinctively assumed that this was a "I look so fat in this dress" conversation and was trying to completely avoid getting himself into that trap of a conversation! After the family thing this was doubly hilarious.
I hope you enjoyed the Joe and Ang misinterpretation saga. We sure have fun.
