<human>: So this didn't happen today but I thought reddit might enjoy my embarrassing story because hell, who doesn't like hearing about embarrassing shit that happens to other people?

Our story starts with my boyfriend's mom taking us and his older brother out for dinner. At this point, we hadn't been together very long so I had never really socialized with his family before. I had maybe, in total, said 10 words to them at this point in our relationship and this was my chance to break out of my socially awkward and quiet shell and try to make some small talk. Well, during dinner I failed miserably and mostly sat on my hands and occasionally piped in a short comment or two. 

Soon enough the meal was over and my boyfriend (let's call him Travis) got behind the wheel to drive us all back to his house, his mom in the passenger seat, and his brother and I sitting in the back. They chit chatted and I stayed quiet until I noticed the air freshener above my head. It was labeled in big letters "Black Ice". So I took this as my chance to strike up conversation.

"Huh, I didn't know black ice had a smell" I said. Now, I'm a quiet person by nature, and Travis's car is a big monster of a truck complete with loud engine, not to mention we were on a bustling loud road. So I guess it was not the easiest thing to clearly hear what I said because the reaction they had to my statement was mortifying. Somehow, they had ALL misheard me and thought I said "Black Guys" instead of "Black Ice"..... Somebody shoot me in the fucking head now. 

It didn't take long to clarify the misunderstanding, and they all laughed about it when I explained what I meant.....but still mortifying. This is what I get for trying to not be a silent stranger to my SO's family...

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Boyfriend's mother and brother mishear my comment on a black ice scented air freshener as "I didn't know black guys have a smell". That was my first conversation with them.
