Child: Hello?"
Father: "Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?"
Child: "No Daddy.
She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul."
Father: After a brief pause, "But honey, you haven't got an Uncle
Paul."
Child: "Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right
now."
Brief Pause.
Father: "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."
Child: "Okay Daddy, just a minute."
Child: A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone.
"I
did it
Daddy."
Father: "And what happened honey?" he asked.
Child: "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!"
Father: "Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?"
Child: "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***
Father: "Swimming pool? ............Is this 486-5731?"
