Mama is in Trouble, AGAIN!

I can't seem to keep myself out of trouble.  Yesterday's escapade involved a party invitation.  You wouldn't think I could get in trouble with that.  But I did.

My daughter was invited to a birthday party.  She asked me to call the number and RSVP for it.  So I did - in the middle of the afternoon.  I was expecting either a voice mail, or an adult on the other end.  That's not what I got.

"Hello?" the voice answered.  It was clearly a young person.

"Hi," I said with my still-hoarse voice.  "Can I talk to your mom?"

"Who is this?" the voice asked.

"Sherry Ellis.  I'm (insert my daughter's name) mom.  I'm calling to RSVP for the birthday party."

Two seconds later, I heard another voice.  It was strangely familiar.  "Mom?" it said.

It was my daughter.  "Why am I talking to you?" she asked.

"Why am I talking to you?" I asked, equally confused.

"Mom, the teacher's coming. I'm not supposed to be on the phone during school.  You just got me in trouble!"

Great.  All I did was call the number on the invitation.  Why in the world was it to a kid's cell phone? And why did my daughter have to be sitting next to the said kid in class?  Now I'm in trouble for getting my daughter in trouble!  Oy!
