What did you hear?

I think it’s funny how mishearing something can completely change your understanding of things.  What you heard and reality could be entirely different!  (No wonder there are conflicting eye-witness testimonies of the same event!)
Yesterday evening my son and I were in the car.  I observed a beautiful sunset in the rearview mirror so I said, “Wow, awesome looking sky!”  My son noticed that I was looking in the rearview mirror so he turned around to look.  He apparently didn’t see what I saw and looked at me confused.
I said, “You’re not impressed??”  He looked again, then back at me and shrugged – clearly still confused.  I said, “Hmmm, maybe it’s my angle because I just see the bright colors between the clouds and not the rest of the sky.”  My son suddenly laughed and said, “OH!  You said ‘sky’ not ‘guy’!”
I cracked up.  Did he really think I was commenting on an awesome looking guy??  He said when he first looked there weren’t any cars even near us so he couldn’t figure out who I was looking at.  And then I was surprised that he wasn’t impressed??  HAHAHA!!!  I’m still laughing.
