Wrong Number Lady

This was back in the late seventies.

I was a kid, and had just gotten home from school. Obviously it was before caller id, most everyone had rotary phones.

This is where it gets funny…

We had a local grocery store called Sherman’s Grocery. Apparently my parent’s phone number was very close to their number.

When our phone rang I answered it. There was a little old lady that said she needed to place an order for pickup (Sherman’s would bag up orders for people back then like some stores today).

She was not expecting that…

I was polite but interrupted her and said she had the wrong number. She hung up and called right back and asked “Is this Sherman’s”? I said no ma’am, you still have the wrong number.

She called two more times and I told her wrong number. When she called one more time I answered “ Sherman’s, can I help you”? She placed her order and wanted to know when it would be ready.

UH OH!

I told her if she left right now it will be ready when she arrives. To this day I would have loved to be in that grocery store when she showed up.

Was it juvenile? Hell yes.

I was ten years old, and the old broad wouldn’t listen.

Sue me.

YIKES! That was funny!
