I amaze my self more and more at how easily, and often, I can entertain myself with no effort at all.
Take this morning... I am sitting in my office starting my day when a man from the school service center walks in the door. He was here to measure for a special cabinet to hold equipment used in our White Elementary TV studio during broadcasts. We had been waiting for months so I was very excited that they were here. I decided it would be good to call David M (who is a retired teacher who still comes in to help with the studio) so he could talk to the guys and tell them exactly what we needed. I pulled out my cell phone and found the listing for David's cell on my phone.
It rang a few times and then I heard David say hello.
I started right in on the exciting news about the cabinet. I asked him if he could talk to the guy standing next to me. He answered in a slow voice that he didn't know about a cabinet.
David loves to joke around more than most people I know so I ignored this response and told him that I really needed him to talk to the guy about the TV studio. I barreled ahead with my requests for help while beginning to be extremely confused as to why he wasn't as excited as I was about the long awaited carpenters.
When I finished, he answered with, "I don't know what you're talking about at all." He sounded VERY confused.
I finally gave up and, confused myself, thanked him and hung up as the SSC guy looked on.
I tried to call David's home but no answer. So I went to try answering questions myself.
As the morning went on, I tried to figure out what had happened with the call. My son in law is also David but he would have known who it was and stopped me.
Well, that afternoon I was telling my friend, Michelle, about the strange call. She was puzzled but then asked, "Doesn't Matt have a friend named David?"
All of a sudden it made sense. David, my teen son's best friend, had most likely been woken up by a crazy lady trying to get information about a cabinet in a TV studio!
Maybe he'll just think it was a strange dream!
