Bike shoes, cashews and parcusis

My daughter and 3-year-old grandson, Elliott, were visiting yesterday and met me outside as I returned from a bicycle ride. Many questions and comments ensued about the bike, bike gloves, shoes, bike gears, etc.  Elliott has a lot to say about almost everything. As I sat on the lawn to loosen and remove my shoes I explained to Elliott how shoes needed to fit snuggly for some endeavors such as biking or climbing. 

Elliott remarks as I am pulling off my shoes "I don't like cashews"
Me "I have seen you eat cashews, I thought you really liked them""
Elliott, more emphatically "I don't like cashews."
Me - puzzled look
My daughter while laughing "Dad he is saying he doesn't like tight shoes"
Me "Oh"

Parcusis is not hearing properly from hearing loss.  If you have spoken with me and I make a remark that doesn't make sense or answer the wrong question, parcusis is probably at play.
