On Mistaken Phone Calls

On Mistaken Phone Calls


About three am one Saturday night into early Sunday morning my cell phone rang, (ever notice how the phone seemed to ring with even more urgency if you didn’t get it on the first ring?) anyway I digress, picked up the phone and said “hello’, praying it wasn’t a family member in trouble.
I heard on the line a very deep voice,kinda like Barry White’s,say,”yeah….it’s me!”
“Excuse me “, I said now quite awake, “who’s me?” “Me… Ziggy”, he said ,”Um Ziggy, I
think you have the wrong number”. He replied, “I waan come ovah jus fi awile”, again I told
him he had the wrong number,”jus mek mi come nuh”. I hung up my phone and he called
again.”A@^%$#@!!& you have the wrong number!!”, “awiight” he said and finally got
the message, really now, must be a screw-up to get your booty-call number mixed up.

I hung up, quite puzzled and when I woke up I wondered if I had actually dreamt it.
I also wondered which woman would allow a man to call her at that hour so sure of
himself and with such a limited language capacity to express himself(not necessarily in proper English
but in terms of attitude too) to boot and still get the attention he craved (to put it mildly)
I suspect I’m still naïve when it comes to matters of that sort....been married for ten years
and really can't relate to the booty-call or friends with benefits situations, not that anything
is wrong with it if that's your thing, I’m not in a position to judge and don't need to be
either.
Just saying I can't relate to it....I hope any woman who does open her 'door' for those really
early morning calls, does so for someone who will at least take her out in the daylight hours
as well as being a little more articulate in words and attitude. That's all I 'm saying......later!
