As I am disabled, I have a lady to prepare my breakfast, etc.
When my usual help went on holiday, I gave her replacement instructions to prepare my normal breakfast - which consists of porridge with several prunes in it.
After some time the poor girl came rushing in and said she couldn't find the prawns.
I burst out laughing and told her "prunes not prawns."
Our laughter was worth the mistake and made a very happy start to the day.
