Around nine o’clock this morning my phone rang and the caller ID said it was my friend Whippet, who had been in Boston on family business. I haven’t seen her in a week and I was looking forward to speaking with her, plus I wanted to tell her about something that had happened yesterday. I left her a message yesterday because Mr. Whippet waved at me on his way home from dropping off their kiddos, so I knew they were back.
I snapped my phone open.
“Hi! I was just thinking of you!” I said as I answered.
“Oh. This is Mr. Whippet. HAHAHAHA!”
“Okay, I was NOT thinking of you. I was thinking of your WIFE,” I said. I could feel my face going red. Whippet’s husband very rarely calls us.
“I just wanted you to know that Whippet is staying in Boston another week, since you called yesterday. Hee hee hee hee!” he said.
“Okay, thanks. I wasn’t expecting to hear from her right away anyway,” I said.
“Well, I’ll tell her you called, and that you’re thinking of me!” he said and rang off.
Dammit!
