Lauren, at work, needs to call Lloyd to remind him to go to church at 5:30 to set up for communion. Backstory: Lauren has forgotten that Lloyd went to a conference in Kearney.
Dials phone: Ring Ring Ring
Lloyd’s phone: This is Bob.
Lauren: Er, what?
Lloyd’s phone: Lloyd left his phone here.
What Lauren was thinking: Am I talking to his pocket? Is his pocket named Bob?
What Lauren actually said: [confused silence]
Lloyd’s phone: We drove him to the conference. He must have dropped his phone on the seat. I’m Bob. I have his phone.
Lauren: Oh. Where are you? Kearney?
Lloyd’s phone: Omaha.
Lauren: [confused silence]
I gave up trying to understand what he was saying after that. He was trying to tell me who was driving the car he was in and who he was and where in Omaha he lived and I finally just said maybe Lloyd could contact him later to get the phone? Then I hung up and started to call Lloyd to tell him he left his phone in…..
Oh.
Dang it.
I think we might need a landline again.
Brad says
So Lloyd wasn’t with Bob at the time? Bob was in Omaha and Lloyd was in Seward? Being separated from my phone like that would be terribly anxiety-inducing.
Lauren says
Yes. His phone is 70 miles away and Lloyd is working on how to get it back. Fun times.
Lloyd says
I’m not entirely sure how they found Lauren.
Beth says
I need a like button for that ^ right there. (snort)
Peggy says
Here’s hoping your Bob doesn’t have any issues:
