9734/21653Catie was taking Ernie to school in the car. Unusually I got a call from her phone about five minutes after they'd left. I thought maybe Ernie had left his violin behind or I had some chore to fulfil."Hello" I offered.Then Ernie said "This is a prank call," laughed and hung up.I wish more prank calls would be up front about what they are. I had certainly been pranked good and proper. I felt like a fool.Ernie rang back a few minutes later and I thought it would be another prank call. Once bitten, twice shy.
