Things you don't want to hear while you're at work
cellphone 'ring ring'

8:30 am
cellphone 'ring ring'
look at caller id it's the She Devil cellphone
'sigh' answer 'hello'
'I have to go pick up the squid. School called and he's sick'
'great what's wrong'

'okay.... let me know'
11:30 am
cellphone 'ring ring'
look at caller id it's the She Devil cellphone
'sigh' answer 'hello'
'you know that pit bull we used to see when we were walking? (in the backgrounc sounds of chaos, barking, children going nuts, etc)
'yes'
'well she's in our back yard, she got out and I put her back there'
'where are our dogs'
'put up, I called the owner and left a message'
'okay... what are you going to d'
''OHMYGOD.... I GOTTA GO' click
so for the next 5 minutes I sit here pondering the possible scenarios, curious kid goes outside and gets bitten, one of our dogs got out and there's a dogfight with a po'd redhead trying to stop it, the meter man walked into the back yard and is currently being eaten (best of all three in my opinion) and wondering just how bad my day is about to get.

'yes but I had to get in and get her'
'okay, how are you going to keep her out of the pool'
'hopefully she learned her lesson'
