The Bitch: Part 2

I went downstairs at about 5:30 this evening to get the phone to call a friend in Florida. Laszlo was playing with the phone at the time (one of his favorite things to do) and I thought nothing of it. I called my friend and while we were chatting the call waiting went off. It was Ivy. I nervously answered it:

Ivy: Hi
Me: Hi
Ivy: Any reason you called Jay? (her husband)
Me: What? I didn't call Jay.
Ivy: Well, that's pretty strange because he said your number just came up on his cell phone.
Me: I don't even have his cell number.
Ivy: Well, I know you had it once.
Me: Yeah, I had it when you were in the hospital written down on a pad. (she had a C-section with her second child and ended up with a horrible infection and had to be readmitted to the hospital)
Ivy: Ok
Me: Ok, bye.

Then I realized that I may have programmed his number into our cordless phone since I was calling all the time to see how she was doing when she was ill. I have 3 numbers programmed in there - my niece's cell phone, my sister in law's cell phone, and sure enough, Jay's cell phone. I called her back and told her that I had in fact saved it to memory on my cordless and that Laszlo must have inadvertently dialed it when he was playing with the phone. He's actually done this before with my cell phone when we were on vacation in August. He called Ivy's house 3 times in a row at around 11:00 at night. So she knows he does this. My bad for not being vigilant about his phone-playing habits.

Anyway, she's still a bitch. She was probably prepared to fight with me about me calling her husband. I was floored when she said it...but glad when I realized the explanation.
