Brain surgery
I had been learning Dutch for a couple of months before moving to Holland to work. Having just arrived, my son had an accident and needed stitches. A week later I told my colleages that I was taking him to hospital to have the stitches (hechtingen) removed. Unfortunately I used the word hersenen by mistake. They laughed long and hard at the thought of my poor son having his 'brain' removed!
