The 'Davey Milnick' Effect

David Melnick, found on Google Images

Aimee would say that I have a bad habit. I would say Aimee has a bad habit. The crux of the matter: Aimee will state something to me or ask a question. About 87% of the time, I will not understand her and repeat what I think she said.

Example One:

Aimee: {inaudible words}

Matt responds: Whhhat? Alabaster chickens?

Aimee (loudly, annoyed): Nooooo! After the dinner, Saturday evening! Are you deaf? What’s your problem?

Example Two:

Aimee: {mumbling inaudible words)

Matt responds: Whaaat??? Russian Oranges and little boy blue?

Aimee (loudly, annoyed): Nooo! I’m in a rush, so tell me when you’re through. Do you do this on purpose? Because it’s really annoying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, you may think that I (Matt) am trying to be a smart a$@. But what about this fun fact: Whenever Aimee wants to tell me something, about 87% of the time she is either in another room or another floor. Of course I don’t understand.

Anyway, the other day, I was speaking with Aimee on the phone. I said the following:

Matt: So, Dave emailed me today.

And Aimee’s response was the following:

“Whaaaaaat? Davey Milnick? Who is Davey Milnick? That sounds like a name from Leave It to Beaver! Daaavey Milnick....”

Thus, The Davey Milnick Effect.
