Same Song Second Verse

Some time during the last year I got a call on my cell phone from one of my sons whose name starts with C! Only when I answered, no son was there, only a strange wailing sound which threw me into a panic as I pictured said son laid out on the side of the road in a near death situation. I kept hollering, C---, C----, C----! are you there? are you all right? Just wahhhh, wahhhh, wahhh, on and on. Finally I just had to give up and hang up. Later, I found out that that son was singing at the top of his lungs a song from "The Importance of Being Ernest", namely, "Lady, come down, lady come doooooown!~" only it came through as ghostly wailing. Really funny, huh?

Now comes the second verse. The other night I was staying up at Fairview to cover things and at 1:30 am my cell phone rang! I jumped out of bed from a sound sleep and checked the ID #. Same son's name--again! I answered and said, "C----, C-----, C---- are you there?" Nothing except extreme static. Oh my word. Only thing is I just couldn't climb back in bed and go to sleep because C had been out late that night and had called me before I went up to Fairview to say he wouldn't be home until later. So Mom-like I had to go out and walk home at that hour to make sure the right car was in the yard etc. And in the process on went the light in C's room and he peeked down the stairway and announced that he was just making sure I wasn't a burglar! "Did you know your cell phone just called me?" I queried. When I received a sheepish "no," tired and disgusted I just turned around and made my way back up to bed. He's actually thinking about getting another cell phone so this won't continue to happen. Good idea I think, don't you?
