Missed Cell Phone Calls

My friend Julie is one of the few people who have my cell phone number. When she calls and fails 9 out of 10 to reach me, she is mad. "Why do you have a cell phone if you don't take calls with it?" Good question. I have a house phone in the house; I have an office phone in the office. I cannot use a cell phone in between them on the subway. But over the weekend when I am out, I do use my cell phone to forward calls made to the house phone. During the week days, I would check the time on the cell phone as I never wear a watch. Also I use the cell phone for me or Sienna to play the games on it. Sienna plays so much better than me now...

Last night, I called Julie on her cell phone. She picked it up, apparently, as I could hear her talking to me on the other end, something like "I was laughing my head off..." I asked her, something like, "did you get my email?" She didn't answer my question, as if she didn't hear me. She just kept talking, to me, apparently... Finally, she screamed, "Oh, my god, do you know what happened?" I went, "what?" As it turned out, she did pick up my call on her cell phone, but she kept talking to me from her house phone all these times!
