What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

After a few moments he returns.

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

Why do I feel so lazy every time I get into my room?

Yes sir it is.

HELLO

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?

Sure no problem officer.

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

How has your life changed for the past 10 years? Can you share your #10year challenge? Is your life better, worse, or still hopeful?

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

What do you think of the Black history lessons in the PBS documentary about jazz pianist-singer Hazel Scott?

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

© you're so funny!

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
