Thing I forgot
Sep. 28th, 2015 11:52 amSo last night I missed a call from my dad as I was walking D out of the house to say bye and lock the doors behind her. I tried to call him back right away when I got back inside, to no avail; he didn't pick up despite me having called him five minutes earlier.
Dad's automated phone message: I'm sorry, this number is not available at the moment!
Me, to phone: Yeah, not available despite the fact that it called me literally five minutes ago!
Brooke, in the other room: Did your dad not pick up?
Me: *indignantly* No!
Brooke: ....you guys are so alike.
A bit later:
Brooke: He was probably calling to tell you about the moon!
The voicemail Dad left me: "Hi [legalname], I hope you're out looking at the moon! Love you, Dad!
Me: ....he was totally calling to tell me about the moon.
He did eventually call me back after he was done looking at the moon, and we chatted for a little while, but still. Brooke has met my dad all of like three times. That is how strong the family resemblance in our mannerisms are. XD
