Just recently my family moved, we bought a new house, and got a new home phone number,
This new phone number has been a source of laughs and frustrated sighs. Apparently the Smiths* are a secretive bunch. So secretive in fact, they don't bother to tell anyone when they change their phone number. Instead we have inherited their calls.
My mom, being mistaken for Mrs. Smith, was called a "weirdo", by a caller who was obviously affronted by her failure to recognize her voice. Isn't irony dandy?
We've also discovered that Little Timmy Smith owes lunch money and that Papa Smith has a doctors appointment. We keep getting these periodic updates since it is impossible to tell a recording that they've got the wrong number.
I don't even want to know about the calls from prison (especially since it costs upwards of 6 bucks to recieve them)
But what really took the cake was the call from a (soon to be) confused Grandma Smith. Not even telling Grandma you changed numbers? That's just sad.
*All names are changed
