I Think You Texted the Wrong Number

So, I get this random text message…

Anonymous:

Any word on if Carolyn will be around today?

I don’t know any Carolyns, so I consider a polite way to tell the sender.

Me:

She’s said her labradoodle is sick (again!), so she has to go back to Elko and get the Oldsmobile from impound in order to get its meds.

?

Me:

I know! Can you believe that?

Anonymous:

Return to sender.

Me:

Totally. I keep telling her that the dog is just defective.

So, I thinks to myself, job well done. But then  a couple days later, from the same number comes…

Walking into a movie. What’s up.

Me:

Well, carolyns labradoodle didn’t make it.

What?

Anonymous:

Were those texts about her?

Me:

Someone stole the Olds, and she couldnt get the meds out of it, and I guess they were more important than I thought, cuz the next day the dog just up and croaked. Anyway, she’s pretty broken up about it.

I’m still waiting for a reply…
