**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, 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**
**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 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 water**
**Last 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?'*













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