It was last Wednesday night, and I was sitting in my room watching television when the phone rang.



"Hello?"



A girl's voice came over the line. "Can I speak to Ben, please?"



I live by myself, and my name definitely is not Ben. It was probably a wrong number and I was bored.



"I'm sorry, he's not in right now. Can I take a message?"



"Do you know what time he'll be back?" she responded.



"I think he said he'd be home around 10:00."



Silence on the other end... a confused silence.



"Is this Steve?"



My name isn't Steve, either. This was definitely a wrong number.



"Yes, it is. Do you want to leave a message for Ben?"



"Well... he said he would be home tonight and asked me to call him..." she said in a slightly irritated voice.



I replied, "Well, he went out with Karen about an hour ago, and said that he would be back at 10:00."



A shocked voice now: "Who's Karen?!"



"The girl he went out with."



"I know that! I mean... who is she?"



"I don't know her last name. Look, do you want me to leave a message for Ben?"



"Yes... please do. Tell him to call me when he gets home."



She was sounding pretty irate at this point, and I could hear her temper flaring. "I sure will. Is this Jennifer?"



She exploded this time. "Who's Jennifer?"



Apparently she wasn't.



"Well... he's going out with Jennifer at 10:00. I thought you were her. Sorry... it was an honest mistake."



"Ben's the one that's made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called him that she's very upset and that I would like him to call me as soon as he gets home."



I smiled and said, "Okay, I will... but Becky isn't going to like this..."
