Happy Saturday;
Once again, I have not blogged in ages.
Nor have I visited.
My bad.
More than a few times lately my phone has rung...
Here is just one of the latest examples:
Phone goes: "RING" - "RING"
Naturally I say "Hello!"
And this is what I hear.
"Hide-Doh? Deddizz?"
Huh?!? .... (I mean 'what')?!?
Hmmmmmmmm...
(Aw hell, I'll just start over)...
"Hello?"
This is what I hear.
"Hide-Doh? Deddizz?"
Wait a second... Seems as I recall there has been a "Deddizz" ...
But it ain't me. ----- Is it?!?
I check quick-like. ----- Nope. It ain't me.
I say "No Sir, no Deddizz here."
He asks "Izz dizz riyot?"
He proceeds to say something barely intelligible.
Huh?!? ..... (I mean 'what')?!?
WAIT!!!!
A "riot"?!?
Is there a riot here????
Yikes!
Wait.. That sounded kinda familiar...
Maybe?- WAS- my phone number! Even in Swahili I guess
He persists.
"I am so and so, from MC...-"... (some dang thing or another that I cannot understand).
"I am so and so, calling for Deddizz."
Yeah Buddy, I got that...
I say, "No Deddizz here. Sorry."
He persists even more.
Are you Mrs. Deddizz *******?"
(Yeah well I was- )
--- at one short point in my life,
many,
many,
many moons ago...
(but I don't tell him that)...
I say "He is not here"
"Oh Mizzuss ******* ..."
...
...
...
".................blah blah blah.................."
I cut him off.
"There is no Deddizz ******* here."
"Mizzuss *******. We nidz to speeeeek wit Deddizz."
Still not here. Sorry fella.
"He hasn't been here for a while."
"Mizzuss..." (repeat all sorts of "blah, blah, blah").
I say, "Not here."
"Mizzuss *******. We nidz to speeeeek wit Deddizz."
Still not here. Sorry fella.
"Deddizz does not live here."
CLICK! goes the line.
...In MY ear?
Aw shucks, and I was having so much fun...
Oh maybe they will call back.
Have a wunnaful weekend!
XOXO
"Mizzuss"
Huh? ... (I mean 'what')?!?
