Figurative Expression Could be Misinterpreted

1. She likes to use figurative

Expression while talking to

People, many a time her siblings

Have misinterpreted her figurative expressions


2. Thus, her parents have talked to

Her to reduce her use of

Figurative expression while talking to people

Because it is not everyone who is

3. Gifted at tasking his or her

Brain decoding what she

Has said. She thanked her

Parents for the counsel but

4. Has not changed as she still

Uses figurative expression very well. Her

Siblings have been accustomed to

That and would not jump to

5. Conclusion on any word she

Uttered, for they will give it

Time before acting on what she said

To be sure that they are not

6. Acting wrongly. When she

Got married, her hubby also

Raised the issue with her and

She says there would be no problem

7. She continues to use this

For her children telling her husband that

Such would develop their brain

For they would be able to think

8. Wide and fast. If that is how you

Want it, there is no problem

Says here husband. One day

The woman and her children

9. Wanted to go out and there is

A document that should be taken

Along. One of the children ask

Her about the document but instead

10. Of her to reply the child in

A plain language she speaks

To the child figuratively and the

Child left the document behind

11. All along while driving to the

Place she never bothers to ask

The child about the document until

They got to where they would present

12. The document then she asks

Her child and the child told

Her that she has dropped it

At home because she said so

13. The woman looks furious asking

The child when she said that

And the child repeats to her what

She said, then she told the child


14. She did not mean that she should leave

The document behind by what she said

The child replies that, that was what

She could bring out of what she said then

15. And that she couldn’t ask her because

She has not been forthcoming when they

Asks her the meaning of her figurative

Speeches in the past.

16. The woman pleaded with the

Security agent to allow her in for she

Was one of the contestants at the program

But the security would not allow her in

17. Saying that was the order from his boss

She stayed a while but was not allowed in

And returned home blaming herself.

She lost out of the competition that

18. She has been one of the top contenders

For the price because of figurative

Expression which her children could not decode.

This is when she learnt her lessons, albeit in a bitter way.
