Devil, Prim or Cool?

   All struggled for a voice.

Last night I answered the home phone.

  • A man named Eric asked for James.
  • James was out.
  • I asked for a message.

“Tell him Eric from ABC called.”

  • I changed the names
  • You’ll see why.

He then continued.

  • “Tell him I’ll call back at a more convenient time.”
  • Now that just struck me as odd.
  • Especially since I knew James didn’t know him.

Devilish Cynthia wanted to take over…

  • Can you tell me when James will be around?
  • I haven’t seen him in three weeks
  • He owes me a lot of money.

Prim Cynthia also struggled for a voice…

  • And how do you know when it will be more convenient?
  • You didn’t ask me a single question.
  • It’s a bit rude to think you know that answer.

Luckily Cool Cynthia maintained control.

  • “Okay.”
  • Hung up the phone.
  • Forgot the guy’s real name.

Don’t plan to give his organization money any time soon.

Makes me think of chapter leaders…what do you assume about your members?
