Once a very old man called and stated from the beginning that he would not be able to hear anything on his end of the line, because he was almost deaf. I could picture him, alone and frail, his arthritic, liver spotted hands clutching an old black rotary phone. He was fretting about his appointment. I worried about him. I called the doctor's office and they knew exactly who he was and said that his niece looked after him. Poor old thing, he couldn't possibly have known that he had dialed a wrong number. * * * <em>Oh my heart swells with love for you. You are a good soul.</em> Our telephone number is one digit different from a geriatric doctor’s office.

Years ago I got a wrong number call....the lady asked if I were a room mother at Monac School and I said, "No, but I am at Trilby". We wound up talking for half an hour about room mother stuff and my family has never let me forget it. I just call it being neighborly! Seems like you would be a great wrong number....what with all the sound effects at your house. It happens to the best of us, AM.

Years ago a lady called and started going on and on. When I finally asked who it was, she said, "It's your MOTHER!" I told her that my mother had died several years ago. She got SO mad! "What a horrible thing to tell your mother!" and on and on. We finally figured out the same thing. Same phone number, different area code. She wanted 212 and dialed 213.

I must just be in a good smiling and laughing mood today, so thanx for being here! Thanx also for the book recommendation - we've sort of gotten away from reading stories together but that may be worth a look :-) No mention has been made of a K graduation, so I'm guessing it's being skipped at our school too. Hope Sean's is all that and more! Can we see the video? :-) * * * <em>Oooh I wish I could but never in a 1000 years would I post pictures of other people's children.</em> Aw, it’s always so nice to read you, and smile and laugh, and read your comments, and smile and laugh.

Years ago, there was a little old lady that kept dialing my house for 7 years thinking she was getting her daughter. We even got to know each other by name! Oh goodness, that’s funny!
