Chinese Whispers
The one and only excuse for Chinese Whispers...
... if you grew up not realizing that your hearing was lost to the consonants like sh, ch, th, s, f, b, d, t,
... and your brain spent all that time interpreting vowels and body language,
... then, welcome to the world of selective hearing.
For now, eating in a restaurant with bionic ears is out of the question with all that loud whispering. Sob.
