Yesterday, I got three phone calls that I did not recognize the numbers to and when I answered, no one was there. Or rather, they were there but refused to talk to me. It was as if someone had accidentally dialed me on their cellphone and didn’t know their phone had called out. This used to happen to me all the time with my mom before she had a flip-phone and she’d forget to lock the keypad.

The three calls I had yesterday all had people talking in the background. On one, I heard at least three voices, a man, woman, and a child. The woman, probably the mother, was playing with the child and the child was laughing. I think the man may have been talking to another man, but I’m not sure. But I let that call go on for several minutes until it sounded like the woman and child left the room. The third time, it was two men, talking. I can’t remember what the first was, but the loudest voice then was also a man’s.

The thing is, it has all been from three separate numbers. Two of those are cell phones, the third might be. All three are from local area codes, mine, and the one north.

Weird, huh?
