The Fine Art Of Not Listening

I had to interrupt what I was doing to tell you this. A woman just called to ask if "any of my girls" are available to babysit tomorrow night. I have Baruch Hashem 2 girls, a 16 year old and a 2 year old. It seemed to me that they will both be available, so I said "My 2 year old is available but I don't know how responsible she is."

The woman didn't laugh. She just said in a very serious voice "I need someone at 9 o'clock."

Since she wasn't listening to what I was saying anyway I handed the phone to my daughter. 

The 16 year old....:-)
