I just called PigHunter's cell phone. I really needed to talk to him about where we should meet tonight and who's taking who to practice and who's picking up who from day care and so on and so forth.
I didn't recognize the voice that answered the phone.
"Who's this?!" I demanded to know!
"This isn't Tony." Some dude said, while another dude laughed in the background.
"Um, why are you answering Tony's phone?" I said, not at all amused.
"Because he left it in a work truck here at the equipment yard. You should bust him real good when he gets home."
I hear more laughter in the background.
"Did he really leave the phone there? Or is that him in the background mocking me?"
"No, he really left it."
"Ohhhhhhhh." I said all dramatic like. "I'm going to kick his ass, man."
The dude laughed, said "you do that!" and hung up.
It's not that big of a deal, except that it kind of is. The equipment yard is an hour away from home (hello, gas prices!) and well, I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO HIM BEFORE I LEAVE.
I was going to give him a "good talkin' to" (as my Grandma would say) when he got home because the man needs to be more responsible with things like "phones" and "wallets" and "keys."
But, I've decided to have a little fun with it instead.
I'm going to leave a note on the kitchen table telling him how I can't wait for him to do all the nasty things he promised to do to me in bed tonight and how we really should have phone sex more often.
The "so this is how it went down" Update
Dudes. It was a total bust. When I saw Tony later that evening and tried to keep the joke going, he was all "Baby, I know you know that I left my phone at work, my buddy called me up on the radio (whoops! Forgot about the damn work radio!) and told me that he had answered your call."
SO, basically, I was the one who ended up looking like a jackass. (Again.)
Best. Trick. Ever.
