“Hi baby!” <— see that? That is NOT the way to answer your mobile …
Even if you are *convinced* that the number showing up on your display is the same one that appears when Son#1 phones you from the clinic.
Oh sure, there may be a split second when you think to yourself: “Shit!! Perhaps I’ve made a boo-boo … ?”, and then there’s a delicious moment of relief when you hear a bunch of kids in the background and you thank your lucky stars that your assumption about the origin of the call was in fact correct.
But then, much to your horror, the words: “Hello, is that Mrs So-and-So?” hit you with a crushing blow of embarrassment and you hesitantly reply: “Errr, yes …?”
ERK! The person on the other end of the line then turns out to be a teacher from Son#2’s school (which happens to be just down the road from the clinic where Son#1 is based) and she’s called to chat about Son#2’s lack of passion for the Afrikaans language.
Oh crap!
Can you say “Ooooops?”
*whew* Just as well it wasn’t the headmaster!!
@leez … no, I NEVER say my name!!
And what’s up with those people who call your cellphone and then ask “who’s speaking?” Sheesh … that totally freaks me out!
“Hellooooo – no buddy, YOU called ME – who the hell are YOU?!”
DOH!
Shame, poor bud. I used to charge a fee to my classmates back inhighschool to help them with their afrikaans homework. Noone gets it. Not even the afrikaans kids.
anyway, as one someone who doesnt answer private numbers to another always answer hello and never say your name. Just saying.
*grin* silly indeed! Felt like a right prat …
hee hee hee silly chop!
@Steven 😀 Well, thank you, you’ve just made my day!
HAHAHAHAHA!
You are so funny and honest, seriously, thanks for sharing these things you do. This one is just great!
WAHAHA!!! Oh kuk, that’s hilarious 😀
Eish!
…maybe buy him a Kurt Darren cd, he might take to that?
Afrikaans XBox game….mmmm, interesting, the Blou Bulle would have to be involved somewhere there! Like a Halo skop, skiet and donner but in Khaki’s and with bottles of brandy. 🙂
Yeah, shame … The Little Man has just NEVER taken to it.
Perhaps if there was an Afrikaans Xbox game of some kind, he might get *slightly* interested …
I shared Son #2’s lack for Afrikaans…lets be honest, it’s not the most passionate language. 😉
