Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg


 

 

 **Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg, **

 


**'Hello?'**

 



**'Hi honey.**
**This is Daddy.**
**Is Mommy near the phone?'**

**'No, Daddy.**
**She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'**


**After a brief pause,**



**Daddy says,**
**'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'**





**'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?' **

 

 

'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 Paul?'**

 



**'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?'*






                                            **No, I think you have the wrong number........*
