Because of the hurricane, the power has been out at my parents’ house all week. They’ve been away on vacation, so Angela and I have been going over there everyday to check on things and see if the power has been restored.
Last night, I received a phone call from a woman at the company that monitors my parents’ burglar alarm. She told me that the alarm had been tripped and that she had dispatched a police car to investigate. My response? “Oh, that’s wonderful news! That means the power’s back on!”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line. I’m pretty sure that’s the first time she’s ever had that response to a call.
