A woman answers the phone half asleep

             Late one Saturday evening, I was awakened by
            the ringing of my phone. In a sleepy grumpy voice
            I said hello. The party on the other end of the line
            paused for a moment before rushing breathlessly
            into a lengthy speech.

            "Mom, this is Susan and I'm sorry I woke you up, but
            I had to call because I'm going to be a little late getting
            home. See, Dad's car has a flat but it's not my fault.
            Honest! I don't know what happened. The tire just
            went flat while we were inside the theater. Please
            don't be mad, okay?"

            Since I don't have any daughters, I knew the person
            had misdialed.

            "I'm sorry dear, "I replied, "but you've reached the
            wrong number. I don't have a daughter named Susan."

            "Gosh, Mom, "came the young woman's voice, "I
            didn't think you'd be this mad."
