The phone rings, a little girl picks up.


“Hello?”


“Hi honey, this is daddy. Is mommy near the phone?”


“No daddy, she’s upstairs in the bedroom with uncle Mike.”


After a brief pause, the father says, “But honey, you haven’t got an uncle Mike.”


“Oh yes I do, he’s upstairs with mommy right now!”


Another brief pause, “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. Shout to mommy that daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway.”


The little girl complies and returns to the phone a few moments later.


“I did it Daddy!”


“And what happened honey?”


“Well, mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed and ran around screaming! Then she tripped on the rug, hit her head on the dresser, and now she isn’t moving at all!”


“Oh my god!!! What about your uncle Mike?”


“He got scared and jumped out of bed too, except he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool! I guess he didn’t know you took all the water out last week, he hit the bottom and now he’s not moving either!”


Now, a long pause.


“...... swimming pool? Is this 555-5731?
