Ring Ring

We actually had a babysitter over a few nights ago...

Phone ringing ~

Babysitter: Hello?
Person (in a whisper voice): Is it safe to talk?
Babysitter: Uh, do you know this isn't Carolyn?
Person: OH! This is just her sister, I'll call back later.


Phone ringing ~
Babysitter: Hello?
Person: Are we still on for our appointment tomorrow night? Because if not, I'm going to come over there and kick your butt!
Babysitter (thinking maybe this really is a prank call): Ummm, who is this?
Person: Isn't this Carolyn?
Babysitter: No this is the babysitter.
Person: OH! Girl, don't worry about it. This is just her visiting teaching partner. Tell her I have our appointment set up for tomorrow at 7 and she better be ready.


True or False?
When your phone rings and you answer it, does it ever start off with a normal conversation? Mine do not, as my babysitter now knows.

This is TOO funny! What did you sister want to talk about that may not have been "safe"?

My pet peeve is when people continue the coversation and you seriusly have NO idea who you are talking to! Hey girl, I'm so glad to found my blog! I have to confess I've been secretly visiting yours for a while! Love everything about it, your picture, calling Aaron your "boyfriend", the wedding flip! Love it! Even vsitit your sisters's! Tell her I had a very awkward encounter with a mutual ex-boyfriends very pregnant wife! Thanks for the stat tip!

That's great. Poor babysitter. Is it the same one?? She might think something fishy is going on in your house. My telephone conversations are pretty normal.

I don't think it's funny. When stuff like this happens to me, I just hang up.

P.S. I don't have any friends.

Dad's comment made me laugh out loud!

And I just want to declare that I was not the stalker sister...who we kidding, I don't wait...just go straight into talking talking talking. I wonder if I have talked to this babysitter and didn't even know it?
