Don't laugh! Or rather, do.
I have a mild case but every once in a while I come up with some gems. Such as reading a sign for 12 Mile Creek and reading Half Mile Creek. Ah, who cares? We were crossing it in a car, not rowing down it in a canoe.
But I was reading today and came upon the word "future" that I misread as "furniture" and got a good laugh. Here is the line in question:
"There'd be prayer chains in my future," etc. Now read it as I misread it, and have a good laugh.

@BarBaraPrz I laugh with myself when I realize some "mistakes" because some are really too funny.

When hubby misreads something, usually on a bill board going down the road he usually says "I was reading too fast." It is good you can laugh at yourself and share with us as well.

That could be the case in turning future into furniture.

My older sister was sent to a school down the road that had special classes.

Well, one can pray anywhere...
My pastor always used to say, "If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? "

Reading 12 as 1/2 was the first and only time it's happened to me with numbers.
