My mother phoned one evening
We were talking about general sorts of things while she fed the cats and heated up something for supper. She'd just taken her food out of the microwave when I heard her shriek and the phone hit the floor; I could hear her yelling and the sound of the tap running in the background. After a minute she picked up again and told me what had happened -- she'd put her food in the cat's dish and heated theirs instead! Not that the two looked remotely alike, but she'd been so distracted that she failed to notice the switch until taking a bite. The cats were thrilled (a nice bit of pork for them); my mother, not so much.
