“Have I reached Frieda Grompkin?”<\/p>\n

“Yes.” Frieda did not recognize the voice nor number on her phone.<\/p>\n

“I’m calling from the hospital. It’s about Ed.”<\/p>\n

“Ed?” She hadn’t seen her ex-husband in 6 years. “What?”<\/p>\n

“You’re listed as the person to notify. He needs emergency surgery after the accident.”<\/p>\n

There was some mistake in the record. Why was she listed?<\/p>\n

“Tell him he’s overdue on his last three alimony payments.” It was best not to say, “Tell that bum\u2026”<\/p>\n

No more payments? But, no more Ed?<\/p>\n

“Oh. In that case, thank you for the call.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
