"Definition by Interpretation"--Cuddle
Word: Cuddle
Webster's: 1) to embrace and fondle. 2) to lie close and snug.
Here are 3 different people's interpretation of the above definition:
Mine: to lay down, hug my husband or son, relax, and engage in
light conversation.
My 4 year old's: to lay with Mom, and fall asleep.
My husband's: a means to a (happy) ending.
Similar definitions, but different expected outcomes.
One word, 3 people, 3 different definitions!

This is hilarious! My husband's definition is EXACTLY the same as your husband's...
ReplyDeleteYeah, he wants to know how long we have to do my definition, before we can move on to his.
