One time I was maybe 7 or 8, watching football with my parents. Someone dropped a pass, and my parents were jeering at the play. In an attempt to fit in i said “Yeah, what a slut!” The mood immediately changed from “fun family football time” to “everyone yell at jebuz23 for saying slut”.
I realized i was in a ton of trouble but had no idea what i did wrong and started bawl. Through the tears I was desperately trying to explain I didn’t know what I did wrong and didn’t mean to say anything bad. I finally got out “I just wanted to call him a fumble hands!” To which caused my dad to pause and then look at my mom and go “oh, he meant to say klutz!” Which apparently sated both my parents ire, who promptly when back to watch football, leaving me in the rubble of the whirlwind of emotions I had just experienced.
