Awkward Phone Calls With Strangers

by - 2:34 PM

This afternoon I was in the living room eating a snack. Blueberry yogurt with granola and almonds and coconut. I invented it. It's basically the best snack ever.

Anyways, I sat eating my yogurt when my phone started to ring beside me. This was very odd. The only people that ever call me are my mother and the doctor's office. I was just at the doctor's today, and Momma Froc was likely at work. And of course I don't have caller ID. So I answered the phone.

"Hello?"
"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? Is this Callie speaking?!"
(and then some small ambulance-like child in the background goes "NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
"I'm sorry! You have the wrong phone number."

The lady on the phone doesn't say anything. For like twenty seconds. It's really awkward. Just as I'm about to hang up, she kinda does this grunting thing and says "Alright" in a super low, manly voice. Like, imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger's "I'll be back", and that's exactly what it sounded like. And then I can sense another awkward pause, so I start to take a breath to say "Have a nice day!", and she hangs up on me. Haha!

Strangers are awesome.
