My cell phone rang and it said it was my younger brother who stood me up for dinner twice last week, the little punk. So when I pick it up its sounds like there is a problem with the connection so I call him back. At which point he picks up and I say, "yeah you just called me."
B: "No, I didnt"
U: "Yes, you did...check your out going calls"
B: "Oh sh|t...whoops. I didnt mean to call you"
U: "Thats fine...ummm..what happened with you last friday?"
B: "I'm so sorry, that guy whos car i got a ride to the tournament with left while I was playing my match. The problem was my bag was in his car with my cell phone in it and I couldnt remember your cell phone number. But it didnt matter because I lost my match anyway so i went back up to school right away anyway and would not have been able to have dinner with you."
U: "Well, that sucks. I waited until 8:30 again for you to eat until I finally gave up...AGAIN."
B: "I'm sorry...I should have called Dad and gotten your phone number to call you but I didnt think of that until now."
U: "Its no big deal...I will just shoot you the next time I see you"
B: Nervous laughter...ok
After this conversation I find out that my dad just told my brother and not me, that my pop-pop had been hospitalized after being flown home from the cruise ship he was on. So I call my dad..no answer. I dont get why he never tells me anything! I swear people can die and I might not find out about it until after the funeral which I missed!
I call my granny and talk with her for about 30 minutes or so. During which time I find out that my younger cousin has apparently gotten engaged. She has been hard to keep intouch with recently since she is in med school so is really busy. I feel so out of touch with my family.
