So this really isn't some amazing forum topic but I just found it funny. Last night the BM called my house phone. My DH had to go run an errand so the kids and I stayed behind while I fixed dinner. The phone rang and I recognized the number and thought "hmmmm...this woman never calls my house." So I answer and there is silence on the other end. I begin a mental countdown in my head. . . One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi. I get the five Mississippi and she finally speaks. She asks, "Is dh there?" I reply in my best sugar and cream cheese coated voice, "No, I'm sorry. He had to run out to get something for SS for a school project." She then asks if ss is there. I say yes, "Would you like to speak to him?" She replies yeah. They talk and then my ss hands me the phone. I ask him sweetly "Are you done?" He shakes his head and I ask into the phone, "Are you there?" She agains says, "Yeah, I'm done." And hangs up. No goodbye. LOL!

What cracks me up was the awkward five second pause when she called! Seriously, count that off in your head. It's a big pause. I guess she was scrambling for composure or possibly thinking of hanging up on me. She called dh's cell first and he didn't answer which is why she reverted to house phone. I just thought it was hysterical. Had to share.
