FUNNY THING HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY

To make a short story long...
Came home from school the other day to find husband's jeep bogged down in about three feet of mud in our backyard. Husband was nowhere to be found. His cell phone and laptop were on the kitchen counter. So...
I went back out to the mudpit with my cell phone to make a couple of quick pics, which I then sent to a few friends who I knew would get a chuckle. Clint stuck in the mud. Haha. One of the recipients was supposed to be my cousin Matt. Here's how the conversation followed:

"Matt": haha. Whose is that?

Me: Clint.

"Matt": Clint who?

Me: Clint N***es

"Matt": Clint N***es...is that who I'm speaking to, as well?

Me (getting a little irritated with my "cousin" at this point): Clint's jeep. Amy on the phone.

"Matt": Amy...do I know you?

Me: Think I may have the wrong #.

"Matt": This is "T". Who were you trying to text?

***Need to know - "T" has a very unusual name. One that you wouldn't forget even, say, 10 years later.***

Me: That wouldn't be "T" Wilson by any chance?

"Matt"/"T": Yes...DO I KNOW YOU?

Me (laughing): Yes, as a matter of fact you do. I taught you in first grade, 11 years ago at Sherwood Acres.

"Matt"/"T": No way...Mrs. N***es!! That's hilarious! How have you been?

Anyway, we continued texting for the next half hour or so. He was one of my first grade students, the very first year I taught. He's graduating from high school this year. He and my daughter #1 are friends through a mutual friend. He apparently has my cousin's old cell phone number. (Or else, I never had Matt's correct # in the first place.) What are the odds? It's it a small, small, world. I smile now everytime I think of this conversation.

I'm glad my day of toil and trouble could reunite 2 old friends.

As the cousin mentioned in this blog, I thought I should leave a comment. My bad for not giving you my correct cell number! At least some good came out of my goof though. I know Jamie emailed you my current number, so where are those pics? :D
