Imagine receiving a phone call that turns your world upside down. That’s exactly what happened to one unsuspecting dad in this funny and chaotic story about a little girl’s unexpected revelation.

It all started simply enough: a little girl picks up the phone and dials her dad. When he asks where her mom is, she answers without hesitation, “She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.”

Dad, taken aback, tries to stay calm. “But honey, you don’t have an Uncle Paul.” The girl responds confidently, “Oh yes, Mom says I do, and he’s upstairs with her right now.”

Trying to make sense of the situation, Dad quickly comes up with a plan. “Alright, put the phone down, run upstairs, and shout that Dad’s car just pulled into the driveway.” The curious dad waits for her to carry out his request, and after a few minutes, she’s back on the line. “What happened?” he asks eagerly.

The girl describes the chaotic scene: “Mom got scared, jumped out of bed, tripped on the rug, and hit her head on the dresser. Now she isn’t moving. Uncle Paul was also scared and jumped out the back window into the swimming pool. I think he didn’t know you emptied it last week.”

After a stunned pause, Dad manages to ask, “Swimming pool?… Is this 486-5731?”

In that instant, he realizes he’d called the wrong number. A reminder to always double-check before making that call—you never know what surprises might unfold!
