the phone rings on Saturday morning...

Me: Hello?
Obvious Telemarketer Mystery Guy: Stephen L----a, please.
Me: With whom am i speaking?
Obvious Telemarketer Mystery Guy: Stephen L----a, please.
Me: Excuse me; who is this?
Obvious Telemarketer Mystery Guy: this is regarding a personal matter.
Me: Ok...but where are you calling from?
Obvious Telemarketer Mystery Guy: I'll only speak with Stephen L---a.
Me: Listen, this is his husband and unless you tell me who you are and where you're calling from, i'm hanging up.
Obvious Telemarketer Mystery Guy(quite frazzled): Oh...um...i'm sorry...this is [so and so] from the Fraternal Order of Police. Stephen pledged to make a donation last year and we were calling to find out if he'd be willing to make another.
Me: see? that wasn't so hard. Hold on i'll get him for you.

god that felt good to say.
