The Mystery Caller.

The phone rang at 6:00 A.M. this morning. I crawled out of bed half awake to answer it. It went to the answering machine but nobody left a message. I turned the volume down and while I was doing that it rang again. I picked up. It sounded like my son Patrick, so I said

"What did you want?"

"I'm returning your call"

"I didn't call you"

"Oh, I thought you did" he laughed.

"No, it wasn't me. All I did was press the volume button to turn it down." Then I asked him
"What are you doing up this early?"

"I'm going to work."

Doubts as to who I am really talking to began to creep into my half awake head. I knew that Patrick was not working at the present time. Health issues due to his asthma had caused him to lose his last job.

"Oh, where are you working?"

"At the shipyard."

Then there was a sudden disconnect and a dial tone. Whoever it was must have realized that he was talking to a complete stranger too!
