Bo's Phone call

A few days ago, as I was lying on the couch having my own silly pity party because I was tired of coughing and hacking, my phone rang. I drug myself from the couch and answered the phone only to hear some strange noises with a voice in the background. The caller ID said the call was from Bo. I listened several seconds saying the obligatory hellos, then finally hung up. About 30 seconds later, just as I lowered by aching body back to the couch, the phone rang again. Groaning I got back up to answer the phone. Again, the caller ID said it was Bo, again the same crackling noises. I hung up, then called him. "This is Bo" said that voice that always makes me smile. I said, "Hi, whatcha doing". He said he was making charts and asked what was I doing. "Answering your phone calls" I replied. He then laughed and asked "Did I call you?" We spoke for just a few seconds because he was obviously at work then hung up. It is amazing what laughter does for a tired old body. I didn't go back to the couch, but happily started my day with a smile on my face. Children do that to their moms you know.
