Don't listen to what she says; listen to what she means.

We decided to go out to lunch last weekend. Sitting at the left turn signal in front of the restaurant, Sweet Tomatoes, Evleyn said, "OH I see the restaurant!" Curious, we asked her if she remembered the name of the place we were going.
She didn't.
So we gave her some clues..."It's a red, round, sweet vegetable that you love..." and Evelyn guessed correctly.
Tomato!
So we probed, now do you remember the name of the restaurant?
No. She still didn't.
So we gave her some more clues, "what is opposite of sour? Not sour but____?" And she guessed correctly.
Sweet!
Right! we said. So what's the name of the restaurant we're going to ?
And Evelyn pronounced, with total confidence in her answer...
SWEET MURPHEY'S!
