wonder of wonders, a miracle a miracle

I'm was working Saturday morning and generally feeling sorry for myself when my phone rang.

Holy cow, one of my parent-friends is actually calling me on a weekend!

I've grown accustomed, you see, my parent-friends granting me an audience under only one condition: when their only alternative activity is work. But not on this gloriously sunny Saturday.

Maybe she wants to do something. Fantastic.

I answered the phone with a chipper "Well, hi!"

She wanted the phone number of another parent-friend.
