Wrong Number Blues
Wrong numbers aren’t usually very entertaining, but my cousin Mona once got a humdinger in the middle of the night. Well, it was more like morning, actually. Mona had been pulling some very long hours in between work and a houseful of kids ranging in ages from toddlers to teenagers. Bless her heart. She was out of it when the call came in! For a
