Falling For A Calling

(My phone rings, and it’s a number I don’t recognize.)

Me: “Hello?”

Caller: “Hi, this is Mary Jane’s mom. Could you please tell her that I’ll be outside in just a moment?”

(My husband and I do not have any children, and nobody is visiting us.)

Me: “Umm, I think you have the wrong number.”

Caller: “Really?”

Me: “Yes, sorry.”

Caller: “Really?” *starts laughing*

Me: *with slight recognition* “[Sister’s name]?!”

Caller: “Oh, my gosh! How could you not tell it was me?”

(It was the first time I’ve ever been prank called, and I fell for it. The funniest thing about it is that my sister is ten.)
