What I hate about telephones
Our new home phone just rang. Being the only person here, I took it upon myself to answer the phone and talk to “wireless caller.”
The person on the other line - whom I couldn’t hear too well - said “Is Janey there?” to which I responded with “No, she’s at her dad’s this weekend.”
After hanging up, though, I had doubts. Doubts kill me. I immediately realized the other person couldn’t have said “Janey.” For one thing, almost nobody calls her “Janey,” certainly not over the phone like that. It must have been somebody looking for “Henry,” not “Janey,” in which case I called H a “she.”
Or was it someone looking for “Katie?” Then they must have thought I was a moron for saying “she’s at her dad’s this weekend.”
*sigh*
This is why I don’t like answering the phone.
