Come Again?

We are increasing our life insurance amount from what seems like a lot of money to a lot more money. Let me be honest here. The only way to get someone to take all 6 children is to flat out bribe them.

The lady from State Farm called today to verify my health information. It was going well until she asked me, “Have you ever been treated by a health care professional for a serious neck injury or amputation?”

“Excuse me?”

“Have you ever been treated by a health care professional for a serious neck injury or amputation?”

“How do you live with a neck amputation?”

“What?”

“You asked if I had ever been treated for a neck injury or amputation. I was asking how one would still be living after a neck amputation.”

“That’s not what the question says.”

“My mistake. Read it again.”

“Have you ever been treated by a health care professional for a serious neck injury or amputation?” I tried not to laugh. I was not entirely successful.

Thank you State Farm for the English lesson of the day. We have spent the last hour rewriting your question to make it actually say what you intended for it to say. I love home schooling. You can find lessons anywhere.
