- oh, let me guess. you never told your parents you had a phone.
-
- For a while, i had "What."
-
- My dad didn't like that, but it got him to leave a message on the machine
- for the first time in the three years i'd had a machine. His message was
- "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT CRAP. JESUS CHRIST, TER, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN
- <beep>"
-
- Even now, i put my number on the message because the Milwaukee County
- Sheriff's office of restraint orders and such is only one digit off, and
- people fuck it up constantly. I really do think people do hear my number
- and some of them realize it isn't what they thought they dialed and hten
- some of them hang up.
-
- My mom called a couple months ago to tell me that she "read an article in
- the Journal about how women should n't have their phone numbers in their
- answering macine messages."
-
- I explained why i do anyway.
-
-
- "OH. OKAY. FINE. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. GREAT. I'LL GO GET THAT ARTICLE AND
- I'LL READ IT TO YOU. I'LL CALL YOU BACK."
-
- I didn't answer the phone for a fucking *week.*
