Hey Adam will you put socks on Kevin's hands...

I asked Adam one day to put some socks on Kevin's hands so he wouldn't scratch himself. What I really meant and what I probably should have said was "can you put some of those little hand mittens on him". I didn't know he would take me so literally. I just had to laugh when I came into the room and he had these blue striped socks on his hands. I learned I need to say it how I mean it.
