A Daddy's Phone Call

A Daddy's Phone Call

**Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg,**

**'Hello?'**

**'Hi honey.**
**This is Daddy.**
**Is Mommy near the phone?'**


**'No, Daddy.**
**She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'**




**After a brief pause,**




**Daddy says,**
**'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'**



**'Oh yes I do, he comes when you are not home and **
** Mommy told me to call him Uncle Paul **
**and he's upstairs in the bedroom 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?' **


**'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 the 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 dived into the swimming pool.**
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water**
**Last week to clean the pool.**









**He hit the bottom of the pool with a big splat... and I think he's dead.'**









*****Long Pause*****










*****Longer Pause*****










*****Even Longer Pause*****









**Then Daddy says,**









**'Swimming pool? ...........**









**Is this 486-5731?'*










**No, I think you have the wrong number........*
