The voicemail that changed my life

While I was at work today, I had a miss-call and a voicemail was left. When I finished work and discovered this, I thought it was odd because... who would phone me? My friends message me on Facebook or text me. No one phones me and it wouldn't have been my parents because they knew I had work during that time. It was extremely puzzling, so with great curiosity I listened to the message and it changed my life completely:

The school principal wants to talk to me about my son's behaviour in class today...


So apparently I have a son... my life has changed in oh so many ways! I personally think that his behaviour is due to him craving for attention because obviously his mum (that's me) doesn't even acknowledge his existence.

I am, quite obviously, killing myself laughing because I think it is absolutely hilarious and such a typical thing to happen to me. How awkward for that school to get the wrong number though, and as I said, it's so typical that the wrong number was my number. I haven't replied because that would be weird for me phoning up a school to say "that kid isn't mine" because I don't want to come across as an irresponsible parent. However, the principal said that she'll try phoning me again tomorrow, so I've got that to look forward to (the sarcasm is pouring out of me right now). But I'm working tomorrow again (I need to provide food and shelter for my son... obviously), so I'll probably miss that call, and I don't want to have another voicemail from the school telling me how I'm neglecting my duties as a parent and not taking an interest in my child's behaviour seriously... I think the school really needs to redo some of their admin stuff.

It's just such a bizarre thing to happen, that I can't even properly put it into words, and I know that I referred to 'Friends' the other day, but this is me right now:

So much responsibility! but at the same time...
