*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,
Baby, then, this is what I want you to do."
**Put the phone down on the
table, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door
then 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 into the swimming pool. **
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out all 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......"
