The housewife answered the phone and listened with relief to the voice
in her ear. "How are you, dear? What kind of day are you having?" "Oh,
mom, the baby won't eat, the washing machine is broke, I've not been
able to get out of the house to shop, I twisted my ankle and have been
hobbling around. On top of that, the house is a mess and we're supposed
to have two couples over for dinner tonight." "Now dear, just stay calm.
Sit down, relax, close your eyes, and I'll be over in 1/2 hour. I'll do
the shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you. I'll
take care of the baby when I get there and call a repairman I know
who'll get the washing machine fixed. In fact, I'll call George at the
office and tell him he ought to come home and help out for once."
"George? Who's George?" "Why, that's your husband, dear." "Mom, I don't
have a husband." "Is this 234-5678?" "Uh, no, it's not. I think you have
a wrong number." The housewife paused. "Uhhh, does this mean you're not
coming over?"
