Misreads

In a book:

"You ever see one of those crazy movies about cats and trucks that turn into robots?"

"Transformers. The science..."

It was at this point I said to myself, what do cats have to do with Transformers.

Then I reread the sentence.

"You ever see one of those crazy movies about cars and trucks that turn into robots?"

Oh. Yeah, that's better.


On a sign:

Fresh Today!
Vampire Tomatoes!

I was driving past a farmers market and I caught the sign out of the corner of my eye as we were going past. I couldn't stop because there was too much traffic, so Surly Teenager turned around and read the sign to me.

Fresh Today!
Vine Ripe Tomatoes!

Oh. Yeah, that's better.

To this day she likes to remind me about Vampire Tomatoes.
