Tongue in cheek police reports by a senior with selective memory.
I called the Got-It Police Department because I was lost.
Here is the exchange:
"Got-It Police Department. Officer Little-Patience speaking. How may I assist you?"
Me: "Officer, I'm lost!"
Officer Little-Patience: "Okay, ma'am. Let's get you found."
Me: "Wonderful!"
Officer Little-Patience: "Where are you now?"
Me: "On the corner."
Officer Little-Patience: "Which corner?"
Me: "The one I am calling you from."
Officer Little-Patience, frustrated: "What do the street signs read?"
Me: "They don't read. They just hang there."
Officer Little-Patience, growling: "Read them for me, please?"
Me: "One says Forget. What a funny street name 'Forget' like forgetful."
Officer Little-Patience, barely holding on to it: "It is pronounced 'forshay'. What does the other sign read?"
Me: "It is Bedlamb."
Officer Little-Patience, exhaling in exasperation: "It definitely is that. Officer Wright-Awn should be there any minute.
Me: "Thank you, Sweet Pea!"
I think the phone broke. It sounded like thunder crashing.
