ear on the line

just had the funniest moment - i just got a call from friends where my husband stopped over for a drink - after a short chat they assumed i'd put the phone down but because i was busy in the kitchen i'd left it to them to end the call - when i realised they didn't i decided it would be funny to see how long it would take that bunch to realise i was still on the line. i kept hearing them talk nonsense until i heard my husband - close to the phone - saying that i couldn't reprimand him for talking nonsense cos i wasn't there - wishing i could be a fly on the wall to see his face - i called into the phone 'i can hear you!' - there was a sudden silence, followed by a collective burst of laughter that has probably still not abbated LOL i'm on my way over now as its now become a party instead of a short drink so this'll be one of those stories we tell for years to come!
