return to sender. no such number.
(i wish my phone looked like this)back story: the ONLY reason we got a phone was because Emily was kind enough to give us her old tivo (which Angie had given her...thanks ang!) when she got a new one and to have tivo you need a phone line. therefore the only people that call us are telemarketers for some lady who doesn't bare the name Laura Fletcher and now people from our ward because we decided it was time to be adults and get a "home phone number" rather than just cell phones. earlier today the phone rang and given my experience with it only being telemarketers I told Devin not to answer it. The person left a message and it ended up being the stake YW pres needing to talk to me.
set scene: 3:48 PM we are watching our niece Delia and Eden and so Devin, Laura and the girls are taking a nap together on the Fletcher's bed. Laura wakes up to the sound of our phone ringing.
action: I hear the phone so I wake up. I think, "I gotta answer this because it might be the YW pres again slash if I don't its gonna wake up the girls". I groggily stumble out of bed, open our door to grab the phone in the kitchen, put my ear to the receiver and hear this...
"This is a Quest collect call from, 'Mom I'm in jail. I need help!' If you choose to accept these charges..."
I hang up.
At first I was ticked but then I thought...If this kind of entertainment continues I am very happy that I got a real phone.

Well you have definitely beat us on the phone race, because I think that we will forever be the family stuck in the '00's who doesn't ever get a home phone. Oh, and I was FAIRLY certain that I was the last person in America to get an ipod, so congrats on beating me on that too!
Oh what you could have done if you accepted that call! Just kidding, I would have been tempted to accept it and act like a horrible mother who approved of letting her son sit in jail or maybe given false hope and say I was coming to rescue him from that terrible place :) I would have enjoyed either one!
That's awesome. All we get is collectors calling for Janet Palmer. If I ever meet her I'll shake her and say, "Pay your freaking bills!"
Shut up!! That did not happen! I am very tempted now to get a landline but I'm pretty sure I would be let down with the lack of entertainment.
