This story does have a point

My church is rather small, so if something happens...say, someones phone rings, most of the time people just laugh. Well that's what happened to me last night. I don't usually turn my phone off in church because nobody tends to call me at that time (the occasional message, but nothing more). My phone went off during the sermon with a loud happy ring tone called "Rhondo Caprio". It was a call from home. I hung up and put my phone on silent whilst everyone giggled and stared.

The sermon continued, untill... do you know that loud beeping noise radios make when you're recieving a message, well that happened through the piano speaker (so it was loud). I looked down at my phone expecting a call from home again, when my sisters phone went off. Her phone ring is also happy-go-lucky (It's called "Beach"- we both have the same 'nokia' model). She hung up!

We all had a good laugh. Sarah made a comment about someone trying to contact the Smiths. Me, thinking it could be an emergany walked out of churched and proceeded to call home. A rough version of the phone conversation is below:


Dad: Hello...
Me: Hello
Dad: Oh, thank goodness.
Me: Why are you trying to call me during church?
Dad: Mum's phone is off. Why aren't you and Emily answering your phones?
Me: We're in church! Mum always turns her phone off. I don't ever get calls so I leave mine on, but you called during the sermon.
Dad: ... We need milk!
Me: ... Why did you call during church to tell me that?
Dad: Because I would have forgotten later.
Me: You could have messaged.
Dad: You wouldn't have checked your phone... then I wouldn't get milk!
Me: Ok!?... Bye...
Dad: Bu-buy.
*hang up*


I walked back into church and sat down next to mum. She leant over and whispered, "What did he want?" I replied, "Milk!"

...*silent hysterics*


When I told Emily later her response was, "Why doesn't he drive up and buy some?"
