The Ten Year Challenge Where Nothing Changed
(It is the late 90s. My grandparents have just moved into a new apartment and we are all hanging out when the telephone rings.)
Caller: *in a strong Argentinian accent* “Alo? I’m looking for Charlie.”
Uncle: “You must have the wrong number; there’s no Charlie here.”
Caller: “Okay. Thank you.”
(We think nothing of that… until 2006. We are all hanging out one last time in the apartment, since the next day my grandparents will move to a new house. The phone rings.)
Caller: *with a strong Argentinian accent* “Alo? I’m looking for Charlie.”
Uncle: “You must have the wrong number; there’s no Charlie here.”
Caller: *suddenly remembering the last phone call* “Che… do you guys still live there?!” *hangs up*
(After all these years, the same guy called the same wrong number while looking for the same person and the same uncle answered him using the exact same words.)
