Miscommunication

I recently ordered new blinds for my condo, through the help of my lovely interior designer (aka my mother) and they called me to confirm delivery this morning.

It was 7:30 am, and I'd just turned my phone on, and was still shaking the groggy out of my cobwebby morning head. I answered, and in a gruff voice, said, "Hello?" He explained that he was calling from B&W Manufacturing, and that my order was ready.

I said, "What?" He patiently repeated it.

Honest-to-God I thought he said, "I'm calling from BMW to inform you that your order is ready."

For a painfully long second there I thought I was getting a new imported luxury sedan, clearly ordered and paid for by someone other than yours truly.

Can I help it that new blinds don't seem that exciting now?
