About once a day, I call my husband and put him on speaker phone just to say hello and so that Put Pie can talk to him too. A recent conversation went a little like this…
Ring, ring, ring…
Unknown Papi: Hello?
Unknown Mami: Hey, it’s me.
Unknown Papi: (with a mischievous smile in his voice) Me, who?
Unknown Mami: Haha…real funny. What’s up?
Unknown Papi: Nothing.
Unknown Mami: You wanna talk to your daughter?
Unknown Papi: Huh?
Unknown Mami: Put Pie, say hello to your Papi.
Put Pie: (very loudly) Hi Papi!
Unknown Papi: What?
Unknown Mami: Put Pie, say it again Papi didn’t hear you.
Put Pie: (even louder) Hi Papi!
Unknown Papi: (confused) Who is this?
Unknown Mami: Oh, come on! It’s not funny anymore.
Uncomfortable silence. Unknown Mami looks at the number on the screen of the phone and starts laughing uncontrollably…
Unknown Mami: Sorry, wrong number.
That was not Unknown Papi, it was just some truly Unknown Guy. Can you imagine?! This poor guy probably thought someone was trying to peg paternity on him. I swear he sounded just like my husband. That’s why I should always use speed dial instead of dialing the number myself.

Bahahahahahahah!!!! Okay. That is SO something that would happen to me.
unknownmami says
I couldn’t stop laughing afterward because I’m such a doofus.

I have to say – that’s kind of awesome. Haha, I’ve done that before myself, except with no child in the background.
Katharine says
Lol, That’s hysterical… imagine the story he told…

This is hilarious! Any chance your phone was “face to face?” The days of the Jetsons are coming!!!! Thanks for sharing!
gaelikaa says
I love it! At least you had the kids with you, LOL. I know a woman who made suggestive, sexy comments to her ‘husband’ over the phone to discover it was another man. She could at least take consolation from the fact that he couldn’t see her red face over the phone.
Charlene says
That’s like that joke about some guy answering another guy’s phone and telling the other guy’s wife it’s ok to buy that expensive necklace she just found at the mall.
I hate speaker phones myself, because I can’t see who else is in the room!
Heather says
That so happened to me 2… but at least I wasn’t on speaker phone… I was on my cell – and trying to call hubby while stopped for the lift bridge while also trying to entertain the 4 year old… and I was using darling daughter’s cell phone instead of mine – for some reason hers didn’t have hubby’s work number in it, so I had to direct dial it… and darn if I wasn’t one number off somewhere and speaking to someone else’s hubby… he was very nice though…
mub says
Seriously laughed out LOUD on this one!

rebecca says
This is funny. I normally entertain wrong numbers and go on and on without telling I”m not really who they think I am.
Tina says
Oh my…after taking care of a sick tot all morning I really needed that laugh! That is hysterical! You have the baby brain girl!
Best,
Tina
Hilary says

Can you just imagine him telling his bachelor friends (and/or his gay lover) “You’ll never believe it… I just found out I have a daughter!”

Polly says
Oh my…and this made such good blog fodder too! Thanks for the chuckle!
Lisa @ Advent's Adventures says
Haaaaaa! FUNNY!!!!!!!!
Joanne says
Ha ha!!! Oh my goodness! Thanks for the laugh! I don’t dial phone numbers anymore everything is stored. Lord help me if I am without my stored numbers one day!
Jeanie says
This is extra funny because we have all done something similar. All in all, it could have been way more embarrasing. You probably gave the guy a good story to tell.
Myya says
HILARIOUS! I do the speaker phone thing with my hubs every day too. Although now my girls think they each need to walk around with it to their ear & have their own time wiht him… still on speaker mind you. I’ve never done the wrong number guy though. Although, I’m sure that since I let my 5 year old dial now it is bound to happen at some point. LOL
Donda says
LOL LOL LOL That’s funny! Poor guy probably thought someone was trying to track him down for support!
Leanne Shea Langdown says
LOL. That’s hysterical. I wonder if he’s recovered …
betty says
LOL!! love it! I can imagine the look on his face, in shock and horror until he realized it was a wrong number. I’m sure it made his day when he did realize it was a wrong number!
betty
Absence/Alternatives says
LOL. “Billy Jean’s not my girl…” I am humming this right this moment…
Gran says

That’s great! The same thing (sort of) happened to me once when I texted my daughter-in-law to ask a question about something. Didn’t realize it wasn’t her cell number, anymore and I got a really bizarre reply text. We laughed about it, later, but it freaked me out at first.
Congratulations on your POTW honor!
dina@4lettrewords says
It was probably the most entertainment he got all day. Love it!
Jai says
That’s hilarious! Sounds like something that would happen to me. What did Unknown Papi say when you told him the story?
unknownmami says
He just laughed.
