The Telephone Call

"Is Loni there?" the lady on the other end of the phone asked RAH.

Now, here is what I WISH could have been said:

"No, I'm sorry, but she just ran outside to give CPR to a little boy who fell off his scooter."

or....

"She's on the other line with her publisher...they are trying to finish up her latest novel which comes out next month."

or even this would be good....

"Actually, she's out in the barn helping with a new-born calf that was having problems."

or perhaps...

"She's helping our grandson learn to play Handel's Hallelujah chorus on the piano."

But in actuality, what he HAD to say was this....

"Well, she's taking a nap right now."

Ouch, that stings.

Hahahahahahahaha. Nothing wrong with a rejuvenating, soul restoring, beauty preserving, energy giving, peace promoting activity. Even the amazing productive iphones need re-charging!
