PHONE CALL

I woke up early this morning as I had a lot of work to do on my website, www.FunnyPhotosContest.com a photo contest for cute or funny photos and photo captions. But as I stepped out of the shower I heard my cell phone ringing downstairs. It always surprises me to hear my cell phone ring, as without fail I turn it off when I finish using it. But, the slightest touch seems to turn it on, and so often without my knowing it the phone is active.

I decided not to rush downstairs to respond to the call as very few of my friends or relatives know my cell phone telephone number. Most of the time I use it only for free long distance phone calls and in case of an emergency while in my car. And so assuming the call had come from a stranger, I waited to check my phone. About an hour later when I finally listened to the call, I heard a school receptionist say, “Please bring Mary’s glasses to school as she forgot them at home.” Oh Dear! Poor Mary I thought and so I quickly called the school. I told them they had dialed the wrong number and Mary’s family wouldn’t know she needed her glasses. But all’s well that end’s well. The secretary realized her mistake and Mary had her glasses. At least it wasn’t a lamb.
