The last Wednesday of my half-life
Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 07:34PM So, no one wants to hear about the meltdown of the sons when they realized i am serious about leaving them 'alone' with daddy dearest. some ways-mending much needed. How he stopped for a hug today on the route on his way home from work and got all teary-eyed.
So (word of the week!) i have to relate this hilarious bit. Youngest Dear Son (YDS) gets my 'old' cellphone now that i have a new one. been a couple of weeks. Side note: The best thing for marital problems? Small electronic gadgets. sigh, i am sooooo not a girl.
So tonite i take the time to run it to the Verizon store(makes the sign of the evil eye and spits three times!), activate it and run it to the house for him. Gotta heck the mail, connect with Middle Problem Son (MPS) who is glad to see me but still mad as hell.
On the way to the house, i realize i have not erased the locked messages, the calls, etc. and it is going to a 14-year-old. So, driving down the road with one hand on the wheel, one hand manipulating the menus, erasing and then BINGO!!
I come across two messages from Master J., sent early on to me. The day i had breakdown on the route and called him Vai Dom under extreme stress. I didn't know if he was playing me, or pushing me. All texting on MY work time. so not good..It was the day he learned i was bread and butter, lol.
Anyway, i had saved these two messages and so i forwarded them to my 'new' phone from the 'old' phone which is now YDS's phone number, etc.
Get to the house, i hand YDS the phone, get in a pissing match about this and that an his phone rings. He hands it to me and stalks off. I don't recognize the number, but answer it.
This HOSTILE woman is on the other end. "I received a text message from this number. A COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGE!!!"
i hold the phone back away from my ear and look at the number. YUP, it is one digit off from mine. So now i know what happened to the other forwarded text message, right.
So, i reply, "Oh, i was transferring from one phone to another and it must have....."
that is as far as i got for she started in again. How inappropriate it was. She was shocked. etc. blah scream blah.
I interrupt her rant and repeat the text message back to her. "You mean the one that says, "you are my desire, my mission, my muse, my lovely.....?"
She interrupts me to bark, "Yes! And A SLUT?! ! ! ! ! !WHAT ABOUT THAT?! ! ! ! ! ? SLUT?"
i was so fucking dumfounded by her OVER-reaction, i simply said, "Lady, you need to get laid!" and hung up. YDS is still so absorbed in my failure to take him WITH to get the phonebook contacts changed that he hasn't really heard a word. I turn the phone off and tell him to charge it overnight..
My mind is whirling. I give the PITA husband a hug outside where he is doing 'busywork'. Leave.
Then i called her number back. She answers.
i ask politely, "Helloo, this is the wrong number. The number you just called belong to a teenager. pLease don't call that number. i am sorry this got sent to you." and briefly explained how the mix-up happened.
She is much calmer now.. "OH, alright then. What is your number? Oh." She must have checked the screen.
Sorry, i deleted the end of this. Couldn't own my own words. reding back after a month. wow..
it was a good story. but not much of an intelligence indicator on my part.
