Misreading of the day

At 1:10 pm pst , in a chat room, a Finnish maiden typed the words, "Where did this day go? I have done nothing today". And as I looked at those words, I misread her comment as "What did I do this day, I have done nothing wrong", as if she should have done something wrong, as if she had forgotten to cut all the goldfish to be found in the local pond, in half, and put them in a goldfish bowl to offer her next door neighbour as a present, as if she had done none of those things and this meant that her life was diminishing, becoming feinter and feinter when once it was a pool of light, now it's just a feint whisper of what it once was.

Her response to this was that it would explain a lot
