"Hello?"
"Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?"
"No Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Ted."
After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But honey, you haven't got an Uncle
Ted."
"Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now."
***Brief Pause.***
"Uh, okay then. This is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on
the
table,run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy
that
Daddy's
car just pulled into the driveway."
"Okay Daddy, just a minute."
A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone. "I did it
Daddy."
"And what happened honey?" he asked.
"Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and
ran
around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the
dresser and
now she isn't moving at all!"
"Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Ted?"
"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on too. He was all scared and
he
jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess
he
didn't
know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the
bottom of the
pool and I think he's dead."
***Long Pause***
***Longer Pause**
***Even Longer Pause**
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool?.............................
Is this 486-5731?"
