A man was away on a business trip and decided to call his wife to let her know he had arrived safely. A little girl picks up the phone. \u201cHello?\u201d \u201cHi, honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?\u201d Daddy asks. No, Daddy. She\u2019s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.\u201d After a brief pause, Daddy says, \u201cBut, honey, you haven\u2019t got an Uncle Paul.\u201d \u201cOh, yes I do, and he\u2019s upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad takes a second to process this, then speaks. \u201cUh, OK, then this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and shout to Mommy that Daddy\u2019s car just pulled into the driveway.\u201d<\/p>\n
A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone. \u201cI did it, Daddy!\u201d \u201cAnd what happened, honey?\u201d he asked. Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on, and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn\u2019t moving at all!\u201d \u201cOh my God! What about your Uncle Paul?\u201cHe jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.<\/p>\n
He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn\u2019t know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he\u2019s dead.\u201d A long, silent pause. Then Daddy says, \u201cSwimming pool? \u2026 Is this 486-5731?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
