Weird stuff happens in my handbag
Upon my return from grocery shopping this morning, there was a message on the answering machine.
Um, was it you ... dialling me every couple of minutes ... throughout the morning? I could hear muffled sounds. And at one point I'm sure it was your voice; telling Argy to get off the pram and stop squashing his brother.
Oh dear. What can I say? My poor sister fielding all these nuisance calls.
I felt like such a Nanna. But to be honest, that would be maligning most Nannas - who I'm sure manage keep their mobile phone strategically placed, or locked, so that mysterious calls are not made from the depths of their handbag.
So I decided I shouldn't take any risks with the newest family gadget: a GPS. This evening I made a nice secure case for any times that it might need to live in my bag. Goodness knows what might happen if I didn't. There could be all sorts of inexplicable journeys made to fabric shops all over Melbourne.

That's funny! I've had a few prankies this week from unknown numbers - I always listen til they hang up (trying to work out who has accidentally made the call).
ReplyDeleteLove your gadget bag - a great idea!
That is a cute bag, I love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteMy husband's pants pocket makes me phone calls all the time. One time, I yelled really loud back into my phone and he heard me! He was talking to some people at work. I think he was embarrassed, but that hasn't made him lock his phone. I still get random pants calls*.
*("pants calls", not to be confused with "booty calls")
What a fab idea!
ReplyDeleteLucky you weren't up to any mischief while you were making prank calls... that could have been tricky.
That is hilarious. I was the recipient of these calls once from a friend. It was interesting, I have to say.
