(Okay I don't know if ephiananeous moment is a weird. Actually, I'm sure it's not because the spell check on here is saying it's not...but I'm gonna use it anyways!)
I was going through some random blogs today, and someone posted a website with the 100 most mispronounced words . Most of the words, I say correctly according to the list, but there was one word (more like phrase I supposed) that I was just shocked that I never pronounced correct. Spitting image. Or I guess its correct form "spit and image". I mean, I've grown up my whole entire life saying this phrase completely wrong, and no one has ever corrected me. Am I the only one who has said this wrong? Or are the rest of you as suprised as me! (even if you aren't, please say you are so I don't feel so dumb).
Anyways, that's my exciting moment from work today.

Katie- Love the music on your blog! I read random blogs too! Today it's yours!
I have always said it wrong too.
I totally have always thought it is Spitting image! I was traumatized when I found out that the song I had always sang, "Mersidotes and dosidotes"...was in fact "Mares eat oats and does eat oats." Lol I felt so dumb!
I say it wrong too!
Well I think it's unanimous--spitting image it is! There were a few others that I bet are now accepted in the real world too.
The bridge for Maresydotes is:
"If the words sound queer
And funny to the ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey -
Sing mare's eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy."
Refrain:
Maresydotes and dosydotes
anlilelambsydivy,
Akidlydivytoo, wouldn't you? oo?
Akidlydivytoo, wouldn't you.
