Two Panic Attacks Before Six A.M.

Sam has to stop using my phone.

This morning I was in the shower at 5:30. Sam was wandering around, still half-asleep. Without me knowing it he used my phone to call Jackie. He called her house phone, let it ring a few times, and then hung up. She panicked, wondering why I'd call so early and then not talk to her.

Of course, she called right back. I have a distinctive ringer set on my phone for when Jackie calls. I was in the bathroom and heard her calling. I panicked, wondering why she'd call so early. I ran and answered it.

Me: "Hello?"
Jackie: "Hello?"
Me: "What is going on?"
Jackie: "What?"
Me: "What is happening?"
Jackie: "What?"
Me (slowly realizing what had happened): "Did I call you?"
Jackie: "Yes!"

And so we figured out that Sam was behind all of it. Reassured that neither of us were experiencing an emergency of any kind, we hung up on each other.

Nothing like starting the day with a heart attack!
