Say what?

My girls have this problem. They mishear and mis-say things.
Some people reading this may not actually believe me. They are, after all, clever girls who have a great vocabulary and are pretty darn smart for their ages.
Which sometimes makes it funnier.
Allow me to present a comedy of errors...a comedy that will henceforth be known as "Say what?!"
Starring the amazing and talented Maryn and Ashlyn.

Scene 1:
The Camerons are attending the ward spring social, a breakfast somewhat early on a Saturday morning. Fade in. Mother is carrying on a simple adult conversation with other adults, their neighbors.

Mother (to neighbor): Why don't you plan on joining us for dinner. I'm making chicken and dumplings.

Ashlyn: What!?!? You're making chicken and DUCKLINGS?

Scene 2:
In the hallway after the social, Mother and Maryn are talking informally.

Mother: Maryn, can you think of anything we could do this afternoon when we have all those little girls over to play? Something to keep them busy?

Maryn: I think they'll kind of keep themselves busy.

Mother: We could make cookies I guess.

Ashlyn (who has just now entered in on the conversation because she was walking past): Why are you making TURKEYS?

(I dunno. Maybe to go with the chicken and ducklings?)

Scene 3:
A short time ago, the morning after Marcus has come for an evening visit wherein he enjoyed some tom-foolery with the children.

Paul: That was a great conversation last night. My favorite part was when Marcus (Ashlyn enters the room here) said that McDonald's causes cancer.

Ashlyn: What?! Marcus causes cancer?!

Scene 4:
Mother and Maryn are chatting in the car. Actually, Maryn is chatting somewhat incessantly and mother is both pretending to listen intently and trying to sort it out the gist of what is being said.

Maryn: (Cue talking without breathing)... So we were talking about some stuff on science and we read this part about cannibal mice and carnival mice... (keeps talking without breathing)

Mother: (Interrupting) Wait...what? Carnival mice?

Maryn; (Pausing to breath) Oh. Actually, I think I meant carnivore, not carnival.

Scene 5:
The house is filled with guests for dinner. One of the guests approaches mother and asks if they might be able to use the restroom. Mother genially points the way.

Mother: I really hope it clean enough...

Maryn: Don't worry. I'm pretty sure its edible...
