old people can be so funny. in case you miss my crazy g-ma stories, here's a great one...
so, she was looking at her phone bill. first, i should point out that instead of having regular long distance she uses one of those 10-10-whatever numbers...so, she gets a separate bill, which shows each of her calls for the month, all, oh 6-8 of them...and she's looking at them, and insists that some of these numbers are to cities where she doesn't know anybody and she's going to call the company because she hasn't made those calls and something fishy is going on...
haha...yes, g-ma, the phone company wants to cheat you out of those 75 cents...
so, i tell her we should just look up the numbers and see who they are...yay for reverse lookup online...and of course they're all people who she knows and now remembers having called...except for this one number which she's called 3 times in the last 2 months, which is apparently in idaho and she doesn't know anybody or would have called anywhere there...and the number's unlisted, so i don't know who it is either...we look up and down g-ma's phone list and can't find it.
finally i get my cell phone and tell her that it's free cuz it's saturday, so just call it and see who it is, and *miracle*: "who is this" "it's mary" "mary my daughter?" yep...aunt mary...whose cell phone number is written randomly in the corner on the BACK of the list...yeah...haha...but aunt may sounds good, so that's cool...haha...i laughed. good times.
but, i bet if g-ma had called up the company and insisted that she didn't know who that call was to, they might have just given her the 75 cents. haha.
