We have put together some of the amusing language misunderstandings that we have enjoyed hearing over the years.

Goblins in my head A 5 year old girl went home and asked her family why there were goblins in her head. On further discussion with the teacher it arose that the girl hadn't quite understood the school prayer, "God be in my head and in my understanding". | ||

King of the Cheeses A 4 year old boy was rummaging through his mum's jewellery box when he came across a crucifix. He explained to his mum that he knew who it was on the cross. 'It's Cheeses, of course". "Who is Cheeses", asked his mum. "Why, he's the King of the Cheeses" came the reply. | |||
