LEE
Last month, on a thursday night at the DUKUM, a woman who sounded similar to Erin called my phone 3 times and left voice messages. In my drunken stupor, I tried to listen to them in the midst of the noisy chaos. All I could decipher was "..flo;ivbjmlaieu fobij; ltau...please call me back;aoletijs lkjtou i love you .." so what did I do? I got another drink, and forgot about the calls.
On the walk back home, my phone rang...so I answered it. The woman who called me was not ERIN, but a 50 year old woman named LEE. She informed me that she was trying to call her niece. You see, her dog died and she was very upset, and desperately needed to tell her woes to her niece megan, because her niece absolutely adored the dog. it was a shiatsu. I was perfectly sympathetic and charming. Lee and I had a marvelous conversation after that. She guessed that I was 22, and when I corrected her she half-screamed "how cute! you are just a sweetie!" then she decided to make the most of the conversation and gave me advice. "boys are rotten, but if you are going to toy with them be safe and always use a condom. Don't drink and drive, never mix your booze, beer before liquor, etc etc etc." I found the exchange perfectly delightful and amusing. We parted with a happy exchange of good night's.
Today, Lee called me again. Looking for megan. As if speaking to an old friend, I exclaimed, "oh, Lee, honey...this is maggie again." She laughed and after a stream of foreign noises she explained to me that she forgot to write down the mistake in her address book when I spoke to her last.
how delightful. Lee-- I look forward to your next call.
