THE SUNDAY FUNNIES

Last Sunday evening, the phone rang.

Megan answered it and immediately handed it to her dad.

He wasn't on the call very long, I did hear him say something about singing...

After just a minute or so his phone conversation ended.

I inquired about the phone call.

It was someone from church, he had asked if Jonathan wanted to go over to his house and sing with him. 

This made us all laugh, Jonathan included.

Jon realized quickly though that the man on the other end was looking for someone else...

there is another man who shares the same name (exact name, first AND last!) as my husband in our church congregation.

This other Jon differs slightly from our Jon: he is large in stature, his children are grown, he sings beautifully.  (Those are just a sampling of differences).

So, back to the phone call.

Jonathan told me that he thought they must be practicing for an upcoming musical number and that he let him know that he was probably looking for the other Jon...

Nathan had just entered the room at this point in the conversation.  (He knew nothing about how the phone call began or anything...)

Jonathan then told us that the man on the other end said that he had "become somewhat confused when a LITTLE one had answered the phone."

Nathan interjected here and asked, "How did he know what size you are by the way you answered the phone?!"

We laughed so hard that we couldn't even answer him.

(For those of you who visit our blog but may not know us all that well, our Jon is only about 5'4" on a tall day.)

So, the truth is, at first I was just as confused as Nathan....

But then I remembered the whole story. And I just laughed. That's too funny.

I bet this isn't the only mix-up that has happened. Nor will it be the last.

It sure does make for good story-tellin', though!

What a crack up. Just goes to show you that information gets tangled-up if you don't hear the whole story.

I can totally see your face when Nathan said this, "BAAAAAHAAAAA"!
Hope you didn't have Diet Coke in your mouth...it would have shot out your nose!
