Phone conversation


"In my day we didn't have fancy telephones!"
"Can you listen for my cell, I think I left it there." I asked my mother "Ok smart guy how do you plan on doing that?"
"I'm gonna hang up and call it."
My father woke and stirred, like a giant bear waking from hibernation.
"Buns who is it?" he said.
"Danny thinks he left his phone here!" She yelled, even though my father was maybe ten feet from her.
"Who?" The old man said.
"So how ya doing kid? She asked.
"Well, I can't find my cell and I'm expecting a call from..."
"I don't hear it!" he yelled back.
"Well he didn't call it yet!"
"Be quiet I'm listening for the phone!"
Christ, I shook my head as I hung up to call my cell.
