After church on Sunday I got a random “Hey, how are you?” text. Random texts are always nice, but I wasn’t sure how to respond since I had no clue who it was. I got a new phone in November but it was an emergency replacement. My old phone underwent some serious trauma and I wasn’t able to revive her. She was just…gone. Along with most my contacts.
The response I got back was “James, from behind Burger King.”
This made me laugh out loud because the first thing that came to my mind was a tawdry tryst behind a fast food place. My friends know that’s my sense of humor so I almost thought it was someone messing with me and I almost responded back with something equally funny.
But I wasn’t sure. So I went safe with “I think you have the wrong number.”
And the dude said “I found this number in my jacket pocket from a year ago and I was just hoping you were free today.”
I don’t know what was sadder – having to tell him it was the wrong number or the fact that he was trying to hook back up with someone he hadn’t talked to in a year…
