**'Hello?'**

**'Hi honey.****This is Daddy.****Is Mommy near the phone?'**

**'No, Daddy.****She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'**

**'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy,****Right now.'**

Brief Pause.

**'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.**

**'I did it, Daddy.'**

**'And what happened, honey?' **

'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ranaround screaming.**
**Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser**
*And now she isn't moving at all!'**

**'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?'**

**'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.**
**He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window**
**And into the swimming pool.**
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water**
**Last week to clean it.**
**He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'**

*****Long Pause*****

*****Longer Pause*****

*****Even Longer Pause*****

**Then Daddy says,**

**'Swimming pool? ' ...........**
