How Malapropriate! June 10, 2017

Sometimes mom has a tough time finding the right words to convey her sentiments, resulting in humorous lines along the lines of malapropisms, spoonerisms, or eggcorns.
By way of example, our parting conversation:
“Mom, we’re packing the car and plan to leave this morning.”
“Well, I can’t say I’m sorry. . . . (PAUSE) . . . Oh, I think that came out wrong.”
“I know, mom.”
Other times, she nails it!
Case in point:
Mom’s new neurologist, a doctor with LONG black hair cascading down her back, admonished mom to quit smoking, citing health reasons: “You should quit smoking. It would be healthier.”
Without missing a beat, mom replied: “You should cut your hair. It would look more professional.”
Lecture over!
Aah . . . that’s better!
