Sorry, I'm not home right now, walking in a spiderweb, so leave a message and I'll call you back

I enjoy wrong numbers. I kinda like talking to random strangers and I'm usually nice about letting them know they dialed incorrectly or got the wrong number somehow.

I even think it's funny when they argue, as if I really am the person they seek. It's tempting to "confess" and tell them to stop calling me. Odds would be good that I am doing someone a favor.

Today, a dear, sweet woman called and sang me "Happy Birthday". Well, not me. Someone named Janice or something. But still, there was a smile on my face and it broke my heart to have to tell her she had the wrong number. She told me the number she was trying, which was very different and, before she hung up, she told me to enjoy my birthday.

How sweet is that?
