When a Phone Rings at Our House, It's Game Time!

At our house we have two different games that start when a phone rings.

When the cell phone rings we start playing, "Find the Cell Phone". You see we have only one cell phone and we share it. So it doesn't always get put in the same spot depending which one of us had it last. Could be upstairs, in my purse, in DH's coat pocket, on the counter - could be anywhere. Luckily we have the ringer fairly loud so when the game starts, we can all play. (We even get a decent signal in the house - we had started looking at cell phone amplifiers when we first got the phone, but luckily the signal is strong enough.)

The other game is "Decipher the Caller". We have caller ID, but for some reason on our phone the area where the caller ID is displayed doesn't work properly and some of the "dashes" that make up the letters and numbers don't show. So you have to try to figure out from what dashes the phone decides to give you if the caller is friend or foe. Sometimes when we're stumped we get the fun of eagerly awaiting the message to see who it is.

Except when the person doesn't leave a message, durn it!

The End.
