**'Hello?'**

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






 



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






 



**After a brief pause,**






 



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






 



**'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 Gabe?'**






 



**'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........*
