A teapot surrounded by curtains

My husband, Vince, loves his photography and is in a number of Facebook photographic sites. Some of these have weekly ‘challenges’ which are low-key events with the ‘winner’ usually chosen by the winner from the previous weeks. Vince was having a bit of a grumble about a decision he didn’t really agree with and I told him it was hard being a peacock when you were surrounded by turkeys. What he heard was ‘It’s hard being a teapot when you’re surrounded by curtains’. No wonder he said he’d need to think about that statement. Photo of the back of our place. There will be 'after' photos soon.

@JudyEv Sometimes we hear what we want to hear or don't hear what we aren't interested in hearing...

Haha - possibly but from time to time he hears things a bit differently. Hearing aids aren't magic.

@DocAndersen Certainly there is a certain amount of selective hearing.

What a shame that none of the phrases my husband heard wrong are coming now to my mind, some are hilarious.

@JudyEv Some are hilarious, I should write them down, because I agree that there are a few pretty memorable.

It's not a real expression but because Vince is a bit deaf that is what he thought I said.

@Deepizzaguy Did you get injured? It is difficult once you become hard of hearing.

I have a hard time understanding people if I have my back to them so that could be what it was. Perhaps he needs more advanced hearing aids

Hearing aids are good but they don't solve all problems. I think I had my back to him which never helps.

May be he was thinking hard about that decision and that is why not paying attention to what you said LOL

His hearing aid doesn't always interpret things properly. It makes for some funny conversations sometimes.

@JudyEv true and sometimes even without a hearing aid and a regular hearing, we hear different words from what has been said.

true, we need a supportive environment to show our best potential. If we survive in a black environment, over time we will also be colored black.
