Gotta Get the Last Word!

I got a call on my house phone today from Cleveland Tn. Most of the time if it just lists the city and state, I don't answer it. But I had just parked my broomstick and was in just the right mood.... so I picked up the phone and in my witchy voice said, "I don't know anyone in Cleveland, TN!" They hung up. An hour or so later the phone rang again.... this time it was all 0's. Now anyone in their right mind would not answer such a call...but I was on a smarty pants roll and decided to do the same as I did on the previous call. I picked up the phone and before I could say my spill, that Hussy said, "Goodbye." I just know it was the same person that called earlier from Cleveland, TN wanting to have the last word.

 Now if you grew up with brothers and sisters, you know how important it is to get the last word. And you also know the feverish determination that takes over your body when someone else gets the last word. You just DON'T let that happen! The battle is on! Each retort raises the ante as you savor that "Gotcha last" taste in your mouth accompanied by that smirk across your face. You are the reigning champ. But don't let your guard down...they are waiting for the right opportunity, then they are going to ambush you. And, they may even call in reinforcements but that is not a problem. You see, I grew up in a large family and we were Olympic champs at this game. So bring it on Cleveland, TN 423-464-7326 and 000-000-0000! I am prepared...got my whistle out and I'm ready. Game On!
