The phone call


((((RING)))) ((((RING))))


"Hello?"
"Hi honey, this is Daddy, Is Mommy near the phone?"
"No Daddy, She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle
Mike "

After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But honey, you
haven't got an Uncle Mike "

"Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with
Mommy, right now"



Brief Pause

"Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the
phone down on the table, run upstairs and knock on the
bedroom door, and 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?" he asked
"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 Mike?"
"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on too. He
was all scared and he jumped out of the back window
and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn't know
that you took out the water last week to clean it. He
hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead"
