Mrs. Green answered the phone to hear a distressed voice on the other end saying, “Ma, this has been the worst day of my life.  I’m going crazy. The kids are all sick and home from school.  I don’t have any food in the house.  I have a doctor’s appointment in fifteen minutes.  I’m going out of my mind.”

Mrs Green says, “I’ll come over, but I don’t know why Oscar can’t take care of the kids.”

“Who’s Oscar?”

“Your husband.”

“My husband’s name is Walter.”

“You must have the wrong number.”

“Oh, does that mean you’re not coming over?”
