That "nice lady" on the phone...

As I frantically tried to schedule some last minute school visits for this week with the last hour and a half of office time left before everyone went home on Friday (unsuccessfully), I left few messages but called many numbers. However, I did receive a call in return. I answered, "This is Jared." And the response I received was, "Yes, you called me?"

Hmm...That's a strange response. So I briefly explained my purpose apologizing for not remembering which school this was. Well, the lady on the other end of the line told me that her cell number was actually listed on the internet as a school contact number and she had been receiving several calls like mine. She even received a call from someone in Hawaii, and I told her she should have asked for a free ticket!

She definitely sounded like one of those sweet, older southern grandmamas with lots of grandbabies and said something like, "Weell, you have a great day, baby. The Lo'd bless ya." An accidentally wonderful encounter.
