My phone rings at 2:15 on a Friday afternoon at my office. It is my boss, calling from the Philadelphia office.
"Amy - I don’t want to worry you, but Charlie just called here for you."
"I’m sorry about that. He must have used the speed dial."
"Well, I just wanted you to know, because it sounded important."
Oh, dear, my little love, home sick from school. So, of course, I called home immediately.
"Charlie, Carl just said you called him. Where’d you get the number?"
"It’s in the phone. Mom, did you get my message?"
"No. Is everything alright?"
"Yes. I left you a message. When you come home, will you pick up some rubber bands? I’m making a rubber band ball…"
"……"
"I didn’t say it was important"
