We just experienced a strange confluence of events.
We're watching a recording of the American Idol finale. I'm fighting off contenders for use of the laptop.
Blake Lewis was launching into his first song.
Janet asked me to check the online calendar that we use, at BackpackIt.com; she was afraid that she'd missed Ethan's latest orthodontist appointment. But I found it in the square for May 29.
Just then, Blake reached his big finish.
"Nope, next Tuesday," I said, to Janet (referring to the appointment).
"There is no next Tuesday," Ethan said.
Everyone turned to Ethan and said: "Huh?" He was canceling next Tuesday?
Ethan returned a quizzical look, then understanding dawned. He thought that my "Nope, next Tuesday" meant that I was dissing Blake's performance and suggesting he might do better next week.
Ethan, Ya Goof!
