Woman or Women?

“Prosecutor: Bellingham van thieves knew children were inside
Two women who stole a van left running in the Meridian Street Cost Cutter parking lot saw two small children inside but took it anyway, they told authorities after being arrested.”

While this is an interesting story, it’s not the reason I’m blogging. There is in fact a funny story to go along with this news blurb. For whatever reason (possibly because this took place across the street from where we work) Priscilla, Patty, and I were looking at the picture of these two ladies and reading the headline. Here is the conversation that ensued, now remember, Priscilla is from South Africa. So, please imagine this with an accent:

Priscilla: Is that the picture?
Patty & I: Yes.
Priscilla: Are those two *pause* woman? (Yes, she said woman and not women)
Patty: (in a patronizing tone) Yes Priscilla, and those two in the background are the police officers!

Oh my goodness, I almost pissed my pants. Well at least one thing made me laugh today!

Considering teh one in the front looks like the oldest Son on Malcom in the Middle I would have to agree with her confusion. :)
