~`_ The Spirit of the Eagle speaks into the soul _'~

Ever hear someone talking and end up trying to figure out what it is they are saying? For example, you can hear someone say I was going to Wynn Las Vegas, but the sun was too hot so I decided to just pack it in and go home.I would think "how in the world can you WIN Las Vegas?" I would then just chalk it up as a metaphor for them losing their shirts after a winning streak.

The saddest part is I know that this trait has been passed down to my son. He does the same exact thing, especially when I am on the phone with another adult. He picks words out of the conversation and runs with them. I can say something like "I would just DIE if that happened" and he will say "MOMMY, who died? You can't die! Tell that person they can't die either!". My poor literal child.
