Do you think I get misunderstood a lot? I've got lots of examples.

In English Class

Luna: "Hey Lucy can we play cards with you guys?"
Me: (hehehe i honestly didn't want her to play but i didn't tell her that of course)
"Um...we're playing Egyptian Slapjack."
Luna: "Egyptian.....War?"
Me: "No....."
Luna: [laughs a little] "Ok never mind."

In History-We played this trivia dart game to review for a test on Imperialism. On the powerpoint said the definition of "spheres of influence." The first group to raise their hand gets to answer first. Amanda was our official hand raiser.

[whispering]
Me: "It's spheres of influence!"
Tiffany: "Unequal trading!"
Me: "Spheres of influence!"
[Amanda raises her hand and gets called on]
Amanda: "Unequal trading!"
Mr. Scholl: "No wrong answer!"
[later...]
Mr. Scholl: "The answer is....spheres of influence!"
Amanda: "You were right!"
[me rolling my eyes....]

Talking with friends (Two occasions)

at school

Me: "Can I ask you guys something? I don't see what's so bad about human cloning."
Angie: "Stem cell research?"
Me: "No.....human cloning."

at the park

Angie: "If you could make a statue out of anything, what would it be?"
Me: "Water."
Angie: "That's ice."
Me: "No.....I meant water."
Angie: "OH! Right! That's so cool!"

at home

[weeks ago]
Me: "Mommy, I think I'm going to study on my own for the SAT Chem Test."
Mom: "OK."
[weeks later]
Mom: "I found you a teacher to help you prepare for the SAT Chem."
Me: "What?! Didn't I tell you I was going to study by myself?"
Mom: "Even if you did and knew the material as clear as you could, you could only score 700 max."
Me: "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"

How many times do I have to explain myself? "If you need to explain something then you probably shouldn't have said it." That's a quote I read from Readers Digest. It's not entirely correct but it does make a little bit of sense. Wow...I mean sure these are small situations and very insignificant. But seriously can't people get it right the FIRST time? Oh well...

Hmm. I usually don't understand anything people say the first time. But that's because I'm not listening. :P

Different people have different problems. People don't seem to see me and I guess they don't hear you.
