Got Bit...

So I don't want to go to bed..got bit by the late night creativity bug. Even though I'm not doing too much real creative stuff. But I'm enjoying listening to my Sleepy Time playlist: Sarah Brightman at the moment. Have had my Gregorian chants, Celtic Women, Andrea Bocelli and more. Kids went to bed listening to some of my Bobby McFerrin...they like Don't Worry Be Happy. Not one I would've guessed they'd like.

Wanna hear a funny communication feaux-pas? So I get an e-mail from my friend in Ohio asking what's up and am I okay? I send her back a glowing report of how well my family and life is going right now... I finish that and my in-box has another letter in from my other mutual friend who is in Farmington, a bit more direct, asking me about my diagnosis of epilepsy and why I was living with my dad? I had to re-read that one a few times to make sure she meant to send that to me. She mentioned she called my new cell phone number and talked to my dad. I responded with a smile that she must have called the wrong number. Turns out - it was ME that created the mess! I switched the numbers around!! And of all the random things - the guy's daughter is named Lisa!!!! I hope he didn't have to take too many calls for me before I got that correction out to ya'll! I feel like calling him and apologizing for the confusion, and wishing him the best as he cares for his daughter with epilepsy!

This made me think of the terrible things that could happen as a result of some honest miscommunication error?!!! What if you got the wrong message and dropped an atom bomb on the wrong country?!!!!

Well, the 3 of us got a great laugh out of this one!
