Happy Birthday

Today is my fathers birthday. I set myself a reminder so I remember to call (don't tell my father). The reminder went off just before I left work for the day. I hit snooze and finished up my work and changed for the gym.

On the way to my car I gave him a call. After saying Hello I started singing. I thought he sounded funny but didn't really think about it until the male voice on the other end started singing with me.

Hello?
hello? pat says

What?
what? pat says

I check my phone to discover that I hit the wrong speed dial.

Um, I ment to call dad. Why were you singing?
I thought he was on the other line or something- pat says.

Nope, but now that I had a pratice run in I could call Dad and do the real thing. That went off without a hitch, Pat even got partial credit for singing when I called him. Dad had a good birthday (thought I was only the 2nd to call, and the first of his children).

Hopefully every one else remembered to call.
