‘Hello?’
‘Hi honey; how are you? This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?’
‘Hi Daddy! No, Daddy, Mommy is upstairs, in the bedroom, with Uncle Gabe and Mommy’s moaning real loud.’
After a brief pause, Daddy says, ‘But honey, you haven’t got an Uncle Gabe!’
‘Oh yes I do! And he’s upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy, right now.’
Brief Pause and deep breath.
‘Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do, honey. Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs and bang on the bedroom door; and shout to Mommy that Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway, okay?’
‘Okay, Daddy, hold on, okay?’
A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.
‘I did it, Daddy.’
‘And what happened, honey?’
‘Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed naked and ran around screaming, with her hands in the air. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn’t moving at all!’
‘Oh my God!!! What about that Uncle Gabe?’
‘He jumped out of the bed naked too! He was all scared too and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool! I guess he didn’t know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and he’s not moving either! I went out and looked.’
Long Pause
Longer Pause
Even Longer Pause
Then Daddy says, ‘Swimming pool?!!??’ Is this 486-5731?’
‘No, ‘I think you have the wrong number.’
