**'Hello?'** **'Hi
honey.** **This is Daddy.** **Is Mommy near the phone?'**
**'No, Daddy.**
**She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Gabe.'**
**After a brief pause,**
**Daddy says,**
**'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Gabe.'**
**'Oh
yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy,** **Right now..'**
Brief Pause.
**'Uh,
okay then, this is what I want you to do.**
**Put the phone down on thetable, run upstairs**
**And knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy*
**That Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway.'**
**'Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.'**
**A few minutes later**
**The little girl comes back to the phone.**
**'I did it, Daddy.'**
**'And what happened, honey?' **
'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming.**
**Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser**
**And now she isn't moving at all!'**
**'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Gabe?'**
**'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.**
**He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window**
**And into the swimming pool.**
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water****Last week to clean it.**
**He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'**
*****Long
Pause*****
*****Longer
Pause*****
*****Even
Longer Pause*****
**Then
Daddy says,**
**'Swimming
pool? ............****Is this 486-5731?'*
