leaving hospital and my mobile phone rang:
me: yes?
them: how are you?
me: oh not bad, I'm coming home
them: it's probably not a good time to tell you this, but your cat died
(long pause)
me: um, I see
then I hung up
realising I didn't have a cat, I rushed back to the hospital to swap phones (I had the wrong patients phone with me!)
now their mother thought they were coming home but actually they weren't.
ooops
