I Called the Wrong Number and Made Some Guy Talk to My Kid

man-talking-on-phone

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.

    I have to say – that’s kind of awesome. Haha, I’ve done that before myself, except with no child in the background.

    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.

    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!

    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…

    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.

    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

    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!
