One of my girlfriends from college got married last year (not to me) and she left a message on my phone that she had some interesting news for me. I automatically assumed she was pregnant. So I called back and left a message. We tend to play phone-tag a lot. I said that I had a pretty good idea of what the news was, but I’d just wait for her to tell me. Since her resulting email was so funny, and I don’t think she’d care if I posted this, this is what she said:
"I am guessing you think my news (based off your voicemail message) is something a lot more serious then what my actual news is. I was just going to tell you I got hit in the face with a volleyball and got sent to the emergency room because my jaw locked shut."
I think I actually laughed out loud when I read that, and then I felt bad for laughing.

I wonder if the lockjaw is going to delay her having kids...

i'm curious about what you said in your message to make her think you thought she was calling to say she had lost the lower half of her body in world war ii.

I'm not sure what to say to that. You need to put your Jump to Conclusions Mat away.

That's such a great story! I mean, anyone can get married + pregnant, but volleyball-induced lockjaw? Now that's cool!
