What did you say?

My oldest son was reading aloud from a book a few days ago and he came across a word he was unfamiliar with... AUTOPSY. He used his phonetic skills, however, what rolled off his lips came out as "AUTOPUSSY."

My husband and I looked at one another, then we looked at D and I asked him to spell the word. NOTE: I did not ask him to repeat the word, for fear of cracking up. Keeping a straight face was difficult enough.

We corrected his pronunciation and explained what an autopsy is. Then my husband and I looked at one another and proceeded to surpress the belly laughs that were promising to break forth.
