I confused the word “autistic” for “artistic.” I didn’t understand why autistic people were described using the same word we used to describe painters and sculptors (I grew up in NY where some people pronounce these words the same way.)
I thought the words “for which it stands” in the Pledge of Allegiance, was “for Richard stands.” I was always looked over at this boy Richard in my kindergarten class when we spoke those words and wondered why he was being mentioned.
Lol. I have many of these.

VG. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too, John!
This is, for all intensive purposes, an amusing way to illustrate the bugs inherent in human perception.
Merry Christmas, Steve.
