On news and reading things correctly

I would consider spelling, paying attention to the news, caring about the world you live in and reading all really important things.

Yesterday morning I woke up around 5 a.m. Bleary eyed, I looked at my phone. I saw a breaking news update about the president nominating someone for the secretary of defense job.

The person's name is Ashton Carter.

At 5 a.m., sleepy and barely awake, I read that name as Ashton Kutcher.

Um, I thought, is this a weird Dennis Rodman type of thing? Is this really happening? What's the world coming to? Am I safe here? Do I need to pack up and move somewhere?

I was kind of angry, in a sleepy way. When I read the correct name a minute later, all was okay with the world again and I peacefully went back to sleep.

Ashton Kutcher.

Ha, ha.

Not really related, but still relevant.

Overheard in my casa

Don't you read Yahoo News?
No. Who reads Yahoo News?
What do you read, Fox News?
Do I look like a person who reads Fox News?

From a couple weeks ago:
It'd be cool if the Royals played the Cardinals in the World Series.
That's what happened last time. You don't remember that?
No. I was six months old.

Please don't eat my scarf.
(Baby niece eats said scarf, then makes a really sour face because yarn doesn't taste good.)
Well, I told you not to eat it.

Please don't eat my toes.

You may not eat my finger. I need that.
