Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg…<\/p>\n
Hello?<\/p>\n
Hi honey.
\nThis is Daddy.
\nIs Mommy near the phone?<\/p>\n
No, Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Gabe.<\/p>\n
After a brief pause,<\/p>\n
Daddy says, But honey, you haven’t got an Uncle Gabe.<\/p>\n
Oh yes I do, and he’s upstairs in the room with Mommy Right now.<\/p>\n
Brief Pause. Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.
\nPut the phone down on the table, run upstairs,
\nknock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy
\nthat Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway.<\/p>\n
Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.
\nA few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone.<\/p>\n
I did it, Daddy.
\nAnd what happened, honey?
\nWell, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran
\naround screaming.
\nThen she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser. And now she
\nisn’t moving at all!<\/p>\n
Oh my God!!!\u00a0 What about your Uncle Gabe?<\/p>\n
He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared and
\nhe jumped out of the back window, And into the swimming pool. But I guess
\nhe didn’t know that you took out the water Last week to clean it.
\nHe hit the bottom of the pool and I think he’s dead.<\/p>\n
Long Pause…<\/p>\n
Even Longer Pause…<\/p>\n
Then Daddy says,<\/p>\n
Swimming pool?<\/p>\n
Is this 486-5731?<\/p>\n
No, I think you have the wrong number…<\/p>\n
