Sorry, wrong number

If you follow this blog, you know I have a little stalker. Go back a few posts to the one about Drama in Real Life and get caught up. Quick summary: a woman I used to be in business with but fortunately am no longer has changed her cell phone number to one almost identical to mine and I get calls for her all the day long. Now, I don't think she really digs me that much either and you would think she would have changed her number by now, but no. I get messages for her regarding her dogs, her new house, her kid's soccer, carpools and finally.... the one that I thought would put an end to all of it. I got a text message from her lover. Remember? She is in the middle of a very nasty divorce. Even her own soul mate can't get the phone number right. It went something like this: "Of course I still love you, Sweets. How could you think otherwise?"
I chuckled mightily when I got that message. I sat down and thought long and hard about what to do next. I even wrote a few texts in response that I didn't send. I had to do a great big character check. What I did may seem tame, but I had to consider that I live in not such a big town and we do have a lot of common friends. Plus, she's known for getting vigilante revenge and that ain't pretty. I really wanted my reply to end this whole mess. I wrote back: "Who in the #%&& is this and why are you calling me Sweets?" Then I wrote, "Tell "Jill" to change her phone number, getting her love notes is just too bizarre." The message back to me only said, "Sorry, wrong number". Do you think "Jill" got the message? I don't either.
