okay. on friday i think it was, somebody called my house asking for sarah. it went something like this:

*RIIING RIIING* (yes my house phone REALLY sounds like that)

"hello?"

"who's this?"

"uh, who is THIS?"

"oh, umm is sarah home?"

"no she isn't but if you leave a name and number, i can get her to call you back."

"wait, who are you?"

"WHO are YOU?"

"are you one of her sisters? you sound hot."

"well, thanks, that's real nice but sarah is not home, so just leave a name and number for her to reach you at and i'll get her to call you."

"wait don't you want to talk to me? what are you wearing? i look pretty good today, i'm walking down the street and i'm getting looks."

"oh, you know, by the sound of your voice, you sound like a pretty ugly guy. that's probably why you're getting looks. now, if you want to leave a name and number i'll take it down. i don't care who you are. if you don't want to, then its just fine by me."

"are you sure sarah's not home? she's probably nicer than you!"

"she probably is, but i don't care."

"oh okay... (he gives me his number)."

"and what was your name again?"

"umm... tell her to ask for larry."

"is that even your real name?"

"no."

"so why should she even bother to call you?"

"just give her the message."

"oh i will."

and i hung up. so i told sarah of this larry guy, and she calls him back (she doesn't know of any larrys or anyone who goes by the name of larry). the lady that answers says that he isn't in so sarah says thanks and hangs up. oh well, no loss.

but on saturday morning, i get another call to my house, by someone asking why our house number showed up on his call display. my mom was the one who answered the phone so she told the kid (i'm assuming it's our infamous larry) that there was a guy who would only leave the name "larry" that called our house number the day before. he called for her daughter at our house number, and left this kid's number as a callback number. the kid then wonders what sarah's name is, cuz he doesn't know who it could have been that he called the day before. my mom then says "well if you don't know who you called, then you can just forget this number.". she was pretty upset because this boy was somewhat impolite. so we thought that was the end of that.

but then, "larry", called tonight and asked who called for him a couple days ago. i decided that we didn't need this so i just told him "no, no one called for a larry from here." he asked if i was sure and i said "yes. why, are you larry?" and he quickly said "fuck you."

you just can' t beat the wit of today's youth.
