Department of Miscommunication

Create a humorous narrative around a series of misunderstandings.

Misunderstandings can lead to humorous situations when interpreted the right way. To that end, the aim of this prompt is to stimulate your creative thinking and craft a series of events born out of misinterpretations or miscommunications. Pay attention to how you can create comedic tension and execute comedic timing effectively. It could be an ordinary conversation misunderstood ridiculously, or a suspicious situation arising out of pure misunderstanding.
