Misoverheard at the airport…

Mark in a comment sends us to Kiss This Guy, a site that aggregates misheard lyrics (kiss this guy = kiss the sky). Which reminds me of something I heard at the Seattle airport yesterday…

Two parents where shepherding their 8-yr-old daughter through the long “security” line. The parents took off their shoes and the girl started laboriously to unbuckle hers. “Does she have to take off hers?” the father asked the security guy. “Children are exempt,” he said with a slight Southern accent.

Still the girl insisted on taking off her shoes. After urging her not to a few times, the parents decided it would be faster just to let her finish.

After they had cleared the inspection, as the girl was putting her shoes back on, the mother said, “Why did you take off your shoes? We kept telling you not to.”

“Because,” she said, clearly upset by the stress, “the guard said that childred are exammed.”
