Today, early in the morning: (okay, really early in the morning)
*Ring* *Ring* (not actually a ring, but the theme from Mad Men)
Me: Hello
Caller: Hey, watsup . . .
Me: Nothing much really. Long time, eh?
Caller: Yeah, I know . . .
Me: So how's the wife doing?
Caller: She's doing good . . .
Me: . . . When is the baby due?
Caller: What baby?
Me: Er. . . Aren't you guys pregnant?
Caller: No . . .
Me: . . . WHAT HAPPENED?
Caller: We HAD the baby, idiot! That's WHAT happened!
Me: CONGRATULATIONS! When? And why didn't you tell me?
Caller: Last month . . .
Me: LAST MONTH? . . .
Caller: Stop shouting.
Caller: I DID tell you . . .
Caller: . . . And YOU came to visit us in the hospital!!
Me: I did?
Caller: Yes. Twice.
Me: Are you sure?
Caller: Of course I'm sure. It's pretty hard to . . . forget the day your child is born . . .
Me: Yeah, of course.
Caller: . . . . specially because on the first day one of the guards got fired because you wandered in during non-visiting hours . . .
Me: That does sound like something I would do, yeah . . .
Me: . . . however, are you sure that you aren't pulling a prank on me?
Caller: Dude, for the past month I've been knee deep in dirty diapers, I have been dozing off during meetings because I barely get to sleep at night and if I see one more relative wanting to give "good wishes" to my child, I'm going to jump from the terrace.
Caller: So I am hardly in a mood to kid around and pull pranks on someone . . .
Me: Aright . . . chill, don't get so emotional, man . . .
Caller: And since you don't remember, you also gave us a nice gift . . .
Me: Really? I'm so glad you liked whatever I gave you.
Caller: Yeah, even ______ likes it. He plays with it all the time.
Me: You HAD a boy????
Caller: *Click*
What'd I say?

Ramby, have you ANY idea how ridiculous it looks that the last 5+ posts you made start with "This Post..."? Really! It's not funny at all!
The post is very amusing though :)
So you, so typically you. How well did Caller know you if he was surprised by you being you?

@Rashmi: :D . . .
@DDD: Well, since he's an old pal . . . I'd do almost everything for my friends . . . as long as it's withing a five mile radius . . .
@Stray: I DID? Yikes!
@USP: I wasn't going for funny. I was going for slapstick. I think I achieved my goal. At least you're amused. And I didn't even have to take my shirt off for that.
@MMMM: Well, he DOES know me, that is why he still talks to me and kind of expects this.
@kool: Hehe . . . So you know how tough fat people have it in this world . . . lucky you got out of it . . . and I lurvve being fat!
@Harshita: I always end up doing something like this!! :P . . .
@Meluhhan: Welcome! Hope to see you around!
@Chandni: I knew that you would understand . . . :D . . .
@Prash: I should get a nobel for such an achievement!
@A: :D . . .
and here i thought 'talking to a friend for a whole hour on the night of her birthday and yet hanging up, forgetting to wish her' would successfully make me a 'social doofus'
But No.
