Child: "Hello?"
Daddy: "Hi honey. It's Daddy.
Is Mommy nearby?"
Child: "No Daddy.
Mommy's upstairs in the bedroom
with Uncle Paul."
Daddy: "Honey, you don't
have an Uncle Paul."
Child: "Yes I do,
and he's upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy."
Brief Pause.
Daddy: "Okay, honey.
I want you to
put the phone
down on the table and
run upstairs.
Knock on the bedroom door and
shout to Mommy that Daddy's car
just pulled into the driveway."
Child: "Okay Daddy,
just a minute."
Moments later
the little girl comes back to the phone.
Child: "I did it Daddy."
Daddy: "What happened honey?"
Child: "Well, Mommy
jumped out of bed
with no clothes on
and began running and screaming.
She tripped over the rug,
hit her head on the dresser
and now she isn't moving at all!"
Daddy: "Oh my God!!!
What about your Uncle Paul?"
Child: "He jumped out of bed
with no clothes on, too.
Then he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool.
I guess he didn't know
that you took out the water
last week to clean it.
He hit the bottom of the pool
and I think he's dead."
***Long Pause***
Daddy: "Swimming pool?
Is this 486-5731?"
