Before we had cell phones, my friend called me on a weekend where I was out of the state and my dad answered:
Dad: Hello?
Friend: Hi, May I please speak to June?
Dad: Oh! She is in Washington DC! She be back next Wednesday.
Friend: Huh? Oh, okay… have her give me a call when she’s done. *click*
Later that week when I saw her at school, she said to me in a serious tone,
“June, hi! I called you this weekend but your dad said you were washing the dishes and he said you’d be done Wednesday. I didn’t know it takes that long for your family to wash dishes.”
