Life in the Country
(Saturday)
Years ago I lived in a small town in the country. One of my neighbors told this story.
His phone rang at 3 a.m. one morning. It was his son calling to tell him that his car had broken down.
"Where are you calling from?" asked the dad.
"I'm down at the Smith's."
"What are they doing up at this hour?"
"Oh. They're not up," the son replied.
The car had broken down just down the road from the Smith's. Rather than wake them up, he just walked into their unlocked home and borrowed the phone.
