Sorry Wrong Number! 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 and the 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...""
