When Your Mr. Man

Not only does Mr. Man get to be married to me the forever 17 year old Jersey gal and have five wonderful kids out of the deal he gets this.

Call to Mr. Man

"I lost my phone yesterday at the movies call and cancel the number" after calling him in a panic

"What?" He asks confused as he is out on four wheelers with the kids in the desert.

Taking deep breath "Yesterday when I went to the movies I thought something fell out of my purse but when I left I checked for my iphone and it was still there but I didn't check for the other one" Explaining this for you readers, I have two phones for two different numbers one in Saudi and one in Bahrain.

"You're just noticing this now?" he asks me like I have my phones attached to my ears like him

"Yes I just needed it now to call you. I called and someone answered but didn't say anything" my heart dropped as I dialed my number and someone picked up. No voice just silence.

"Ok, Ok" he says in a panic knowing that if one of those poor workers found it at the cinema I am going to be charged up the wazoo for international calls.

I keep calling my number but no answer.. I worry.

Phone rings it is Mr. Man

"Well whoever it is they are having fun with your phone it has been busy" he says

"No that is me I keep calling the number hoping they'll answer"

"Ok" he says

"Why doesn't someone just return it?" I ask because I would

"If they are honest they will. Remember my friend Fahad when he lost his phone? The guy who found it called the last number that he dialed and it was me? I got his phone back the man was honest" He reminds me that honest people do exist

"Yea. Are the cancelling the number?" I ask

"Yes I have the guys on it I'm sure the bill is going to be high" he answers

"No really because I have a cap on my outgoing calls" which lightens the dread


I hang up and start talking to Hannah who was taking a nap on the couch and related my whole tale. She says "You are just realizing you lost your phone??" not this again I think. I explain it all.

I went to the movies and turned down my phones but when I put my purse down it fell over and dumped things on me. I thought something fell but when I looked for my iphone it was there. So I went on to lunch but latter that night I went to pick up Hannah and my purse fell (I hate purses) and it was dark. I thought that this phone was in the car so I called it but when someone answered, no voice just silence I knew it was all wrong. I went to convince her and sent her to the car, although she didn't want to and called the number.

"It was behind the seat" she says in frustration that she had to actually deal with this as well. I frantically call back Mr. Man

"False Alarm it was in the car don't cancel my number!!!"

He doesn't say much because this isn't the first time I've done something as silly as this and I'm sure he'll remind me of it latter. But I have a long list of his silly moments as well so we can battle it out if he wants to!



* what about when I called and someone answered

option A- I dialed the wrong number
option B- a jinni answered my phone


Option A is more likely
