...the one where you get confused about the days...

The other night a lady from a local bank branch phoned and asked to speak with my elderly aunt. I responded with "She can't talk on the phone because she's deaf but can I relay a message for you?" The lady then said "Okay, I'll call back tomorrow."

Huh?

She phoned again yesterday and my father answered the phone this time because I was at work making more of that funny coloured Canadian money.

She again asked for my elderly aunt and my father asked her if she was the same lady who phoned last night? She said she was. My father told her that his daughter(that would be me!) answered the phone last night and told the lady that My Aunt can't talk on the phone due to deafness. The lady said "No she didn't." Uhm. Okay. Strike one.

My father said yes she did, I was standing right here when she picked up the phone. The lady responded with "I don't think so." Strike two.

My father, getting annoyed, said he takes all the phonecalls for My Aunt as she is DEAF and can't talk on the phone. He asked what this phonecall was in reference to and the lady hung up on him.

STRIKE THREE.

My father, who "suffers" from Rosacea(sp?) turned really red, I'm sure. He told me last night when I returned home from making that wondercolourful money that he was going over to the bank today to figure out who he can get fired.
