Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
{RING} {RING}
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?
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.
After a few moments he returns.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Why do Indian parents force their kids to do stuff?
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
What is one thing which you cannot stop however hard you try?
Yes sir it is.
HELLO
Sure no problem officer.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
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.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
