Ring Ring
I don’t have a home phone, though I DO have a phone in just about every room of the house. Why? Simply for the intercom system. Press a certain # and you ‘dial’ to any room of the house. My brother uses that. A lot. He’ll literally call me from his own bedroom — and our rooms are right next to each other. Two feet away.
Today he calls me and asks if I wanted half of a pizza. Apparently he was about to cook one. I had to decline, since I had had lunch not long before. A few minutes later he knocks on my door, and says:
My Brother: “It’s a good thing you didn’t want half, we don’t have any…”
Me: “Oh, I thought we did. You ate all those I bought last time?”
My Brother: “Yeah, me, —– and —.” (names withheld)
Me: “Well there is some supreme in the other freezer, if you’d like some.”
(I hide “my” surpreme pizzas in a different freezer, just because I know how fast a group of teens can go through a stack of them.)
My Brother: “Nah… I don’t really like them.”
Me: “Thought so, just wanted to offer.”
(At this point my brother looked like he had something on his mind.)
My Brother: “Actually… I knew we didn’t have any pizza…”
Me: “Why did you ask if I wanted some then?”
My Brother: “I kind of hoped you would really want some… and then when you saw we didn’t have any, you would buy some…”
(I look at him for a few seconds)
Me: “Why didn’t you just ask me if I wanted to order some?”
My Brother: “My idea sounded pretty good when I was thinking of it.”
Yup. That is my brother. Devious little monkey. I can’t wait till he starts trying that stuff on a girlfriend. I hope he finds a really really smart girl. She’ll see through this crap from a mile away! On the other hand… if his girl ends up being a dull bulb, he might have a pretty easy life for himself.
