So yesterday, if you called my house, you would have heard this:
"You've reached a number that has NOT been disconnected. Please leave a message after the tone, and hang up for more options."
Yesterday, Tom called me from work to say that Gabe's dentist office had called him at work to confirm today's appointment, because our home phone was disconnected.
Today if you call my house, you will hear this:
"OK, so we have to have a BORING message on the machine, because all the FUN ones have to be explained! THANK YOU!!!"

I Wanna Talk About Me
- Deanna
- Northwest Ohio, United States
- I'm married to Tom. I'm happy being his helper. I gave birth to 3 boys and 1 girl. We're foster parents, but currently have no placements. We finalized adoption of our precious little boy and his baby sister in August 2009. We're open to adopting more children, if our life goes that direction. My 3rd son has Angelman Syndrome. I'm opinionated, stubborn, loyal, and comical. I'm not into the whole traditional-school thing. I don't believe much I hear on TV, especially if it's a government worker talking. I proudly supported Ron Paul's campaign. I try to walk away from conversations about Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. I can't stand fake people. I try not to try to change people. I allow respectful dissent. I tolerate (barely) people with titles. I'm smart enough to make informed decisions. Occasionally I overeat. I research health options. I believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. When I die, I'm going to Heaven because Jesus died for my sins. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! Oh, and thanks for the picture, Google!

HA! Your smart-aleckiness caught up with you! Good thing it wasn't Ed McMahon!!! :)
I don't suppose you told him that a 12 year old who shall not be named was also duped by said message?
Yeah, that probably wouldn't have helped.
He knew that...but that's excusable due to the age of this particular non-named individual. However, due to the relationship of this same non-named person, and therefore the knowledge this person has of this person's (aunt's) wacky personality, the excuse is diminished to barely-there, because this person should take this person's (aunt's) personality disorder into account before making a judgement call about answering machine messages.
And if I have to change my message for Mr. McMahon, I'll just stay poor. It's the principle of the thing!
