I hate cell phones
(update: it wasn’t Jen, it turns out she just called the one time. I’m not entirely sure what was going on. My cell phone is reassembled and feeling better.)
Jen’s out running a business errand. I’m trying to get Killy to fall asleep. As I’m holding him, I hear my cell phone ring in the office. I run down, but am too late. I see Jen has tried to call me.
I call her back on the cell phone.
The home phone rings (it’s her).
I hang up the cell phone and answer the home phone.
She’s hung up, as she switched over to the cell phone.
I call her back on the cell phone.
The main phone rings (it’s her).
I wait, thinking, she’ll give up on the main phone when she hears the cell phone ring again.
She doesn’t.
I hang up the cell phone and try to answer the main phone.
She has hung up to answer the cell phone.
I call her back on the main phone.
My cell phone rings.
I answer my cell phone while the main phone is ringing.
She’s not there, she’s answering the main phone.
I hang up the cell phone and pick up on the main phone.
She’s not there, she’s back to the cell phone.
At this point, my cell phone mysteriously explodes on my floor. I have no idea how this might have happened.
My cell phone miraculously stops ringing. I am at peace again.
