"My aba taught me how to cook scrambled eggs as a child."

Of a child who misunderstood the Hebrew khayim aruchim 'long life', as khayot aruchot 'long animals': "'My moreh said that if we don't say lashon hara, we get long animals.' He paused, and looked confused. 'Aba, is that really true? Will we get long animals?'" (source)
