Telephone
So, I hauling in the weeks worth of groceries, by myself mind you, when the phone rings. I rush to answer it as I have several calls out about a function I am organizing that is happening tomorrow and the caller ID shows someone I've been waiting to hear from. Our conversation goes something like this:
Her: (sounding surprised)"Oh, hi Marlene. Ummm...Well I got your message and yes, that's fine so okay we'll see you tomorrow, or we won't see you tomorrow, but we'll be there tomorrow. Okay, bye."
Me: "Hello?"
I don't know if she thought she got the answering machine or what, but I'm beginning to get a complex. Why, you may ask? (You may not, but humor me). My FIL, bless his soul, never seems to remember that I live here. EVERY TIME he calls and I answer the phone, it goes like this
Me: "Hello"
Him: (sounding very surprised) "Oh.........Hi Marlene........ummm..Is Mark home?"
Now, I've known my FIL for 21 years, been dating or married to his son for most of that time and he is surprised when I answer the phone?
It's just bizarre. I may need to just stop answering since no one really wants to talk to me anyway!

So, is this person going to show up or not? LOL
Yep, Dad does the same thing to me, but he's only known me for 14.9 or so years!
Well at least he can hear you. When my dad calls me I have to repeat everything at least 3 times and it drives me crazy. :P
I want to talk to you when I call your house :)
