Weird Phone Call
Three minutes ago, the phone rings. I pick it up. "Hello?"
"This is Cami. Can I speak to the lady of the house?" in a rather ordering tone. (Not, obviously, the usual Cami.)
*brief pause while I think of how to respond*
"Can I speak to the lady of the house!" same tone.
"Well, actually, this is a college residence. We have eight students living here." I didn't mention that only three of them were ladies, and I'd be hard-pressed to say who the "lady of the house" would be. Probably Kenlyn.
"I'm sorry, goodbye." This was a bit contrite, as if she had done something wrong or embarrassing. But no indication of what was going on, no "I'm sorry, I must have dialed the wrong number" or anything like that. I was very confused.
Any ideas what this was? Do you think she was calling her next-door neighbor about some hijinks their kids were up to and dialed the wrong number? I can't think of what sort of salesperson would speak in a commanding, irritated tone….
