Fact is different from Perception.....
'Hello?' 'Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?'
'No Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with UnclePaul.'
After a brief pause, Daddy says, 'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'
'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 andknock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy that Daddy's car just pulled intothe 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?'
'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with noclothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on thedresser and now she isn't moving at all!'
'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?'
'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 waterlast week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'
***Long Pause*** ***Longer Pause*** ***Even Longer Pause***
Then Daddy says, 'Swimming pool? Is this 486-5731?'
SORRY, WRONG NUMBER.............................................
