Confession # 50, Pt 2.
As soon as we got back from the trip we were telling everyone the "Grouse's Nest" story. I was working at a call center for Adelphia at the time and told several of my co-workers. One person in particular, Tod, found it very funny. He made the comment that it would be funny if they tracked us down and charged us for something.
Picture a light bulb above my head glowing brightly.
I got off of work and sat down next to Miranda. We were talking about how our days went. A few minutes later the phone rings.
I answered the phone - as I usually do - and the voice on the other end said, "Mrs. Speakman, please". Right on time.
I handed the phone to her with a puzzled look on my face. She said "hello" and as she listened her eyes got bigger and bigger. Her jaw dropped as she thrusted the phone away from her face and towards me with so much force that I thought she'd hit me with it.
I got on the phone and pretended to be upset about the situation. After about a minute I revealed the truth. The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Tod.
What was he saying? Only that he was with the Grouse's Nest and that he got our license plate numbers and would be sending us a bill for a "seating fee and two waters". She looked sick when he said those words.
Thank you, Tod, for an enjoyable prank. We both appreciated it!
