Disney Said WHAT??

So, I am still rolling about what happened today. Disney was about to feel of the wrath of "Erin the Mother"....but let's start at the beginning, shall we?

My daughter loves to play on disneyprincess.com which is a cute site for little girls. It's basically paper dolls on the computer. You pick your princess, she talks briefly to you about what "event" she is needing to get dressed for, and then you are taken to her palace to help her pick out her outfit. Innocent enough right?

Well...YOU'D THINK SO!!! Today, I was walking passed our computer and over heard Jasmine say, "We are going to a booze first tea party." I whipped around, and thought.."Surely, that's not what she said!" I couldn't believe it! What is a Disney princess doing talking about booze???!!! Has our world gone completely idiotic????!!! I didn't even take the time to hear the rest of the story. I was all a huff trying to figure out what the heck I was suppose to say when I called the Disney company and chastised them for the lack of respect for childhood innocence! Have you no decency?! Where are your values, Man?!

My husband came home for lunch shortly afterward, and I told him of the devastating tale. "She said, 'A BOOZE first tea party!!' What in the world is a booze first tea party anyway??!! I mean, you drink shots or something before tea??" He was a bit skeptical and said, "There's no way she said that." I threw back at him, "Oh yes she did! I heard it! You check it out! You'll see."

My husband left from lunch and shortly after I got a call from him, in the which he laughingly said..."Erin....it's ABU's first tea party! You know! Aladdin's monkey?! It's ABU with an apostrophe 's'! ABU's!!"

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Again, I am still laughing! Honest, I was about to bring Disney down! How funny!!! I guess it just goes to show, you never know what someone got out of what you said. Perception......

HA HA HA HA I'm happy to report that after investigation, the Disney princesses are not sneaking down to the local pub.

And once again, we can all live happily ever after.

  2. TOO FUNNY!!! The same stuff happens to me all the time with lipreading, as so many words look alike! Glad to know 'hearing' people deal with similar miscommunication gaffes!
