Misinterpretation of words.

Ever had a friend ask a question and u answered it? Obviously yes. Ever had a friend ask u a question and u answered and then he just laughs at you? Right then, you will wonder why? Get mad or even start laughing with your friend. Most often it is because you heard your friend asked you a question but you misinterpreted it differently. It goes something like this.

Preya : Hey Carmen, where do you live?

Carmen : I am three years old.

This is just a common example of the brain receiving information from the eyes and the ears but the brain misinterpreting it.

At that very moment, Carmen heard the words "where do you live?" but for some reason, the brain thought it was " how old are you?"

Here is a video showing real life people misinterpreting words:

* Family Feud - Name a question, such as "How old are you?" that you might answer with a lie.
* Newlywed Game - What is your favorite wind instrument?
* Family Feud - A noisy bird
* Family Feud - If you could travel to any foreign country in the world, where would you go?
* Jeopardy! - Hedda Tesman, Helen Alving, Knut Brovik
* Family Fortunes - Something you associate with the sea
* Family Feud - Something men wear to bed
