Recently all parents from Jack’s piano class are planning to give a farewell gift to Karen,and one of the mum is the organiser who is gonna arrange things for us. Yesterday she told everyone about her plan on whats up,and she typed “I’ll get Karen to take a pic with the kids,and I’ll print it n gv the pic together…”. I replied”it sounds like a good idea,but it looks like Karen has no time to take a picnic with kids,because she has full schedule on Saturday”. Only few seconds later,and I realised that I made a misunderstanding,because she means to take a picture not take a picnic,and I got confused by those letters. What a shame!
