My mother took my brother and I to visit our neighbor, Miss Edna. She was a very friendly old lady who gave us candy. But, after we rang the doorbell, her adult daughter answered instead.
My brother asked my mother, "Did Miss Edna get a new head?"
He didn't realize that it was a completely different person.
