This is just plain mean

[Calavera]

I was notorious in high school for phone pranking (and pranking in general). My friends used to call me, then I'd call someone on 3-way in the town next to mine so they couldn't use redial, then I'd type *67 blocking my number from caller ID. It was fool proof.

I used to prank at ridiculous hours of the night, and I was on a spree one night. I was calling people at 2-3 A.M. and as soon as they'd answer the phone, if it was a guy I'd say "Dad?!" and if was a girl I'd say "Mom?!" in a terrified voice. Then I'd just improvise on what I thought I could get away with saying pretending to be the offspring of this male/female. a lot of people would respond at first because they were still half asleep, but once they woke up they'd hang up realizing they had no idea who I really was. But there was a few times I'd get a whole call in with people really thinking I was their son.

Me and a friend (Denny) were on the phone this night doing these pranks, and this lady answers the phone...

"Hello." she says.

"MOM?!" I said in a someone shocked tone of voice.

"Ye... Yes?" She replies. "Daren, is that you?"

"Yeah Mom it's me," I say "Hey, I'm sorry for calling so late, but I've got a problem and I really need to talk to someone..."

She's like, "What's going on Daren? Are you OK? Where's Katy and the kids?"

At this point I figured out my name was Daren, I had a wife named Katy, and some kids (how many I didn't know.)

"We got into a fight," I said sadly, "She took the kids and left, I don't know where she went."

"Oh my," exclaims my fake mother, "What happened?"

So now I'm in, she REALLY believes I'm her son, so I keep playing along...

"Well," I said "it's a long story, and I really don't want to talk about it on the phone, I'd rather talk about it in person."

Now she's getting kinda worried...

"Well. OK." she leans over and wakes up her husband, "Hey honey, Daren and Katy are having problems, and he needs us to come over and talk with him... honey... did you hear me? Are you awake?"

I hear the faint mumble of a middle aged man in the background, then my fake mom gets back on the phone...

"Honey, you're Dad and I are on our way... Are you going to be ok?" she worriedly asks...

"Yeah," I say frantically, "I just need someone to talk to... I can't believe she just took the kids and left..."

"Ok honey," says my fake mom, "You're Dad's out of bed getting dressed now, I'm going to get some clothes on too..."

I hear her take her mouth away from the phone and ask her husband (my fake dad), "Honey, how long does it take to get to Chicago?"

He answers and she comes back on the phone, "We'll be there in about 3 hours honey... I love you and we'll see you soon."

"Ok, Mom, thanks," I say nervously, "I'll see you when you get here..."

Then I hung up the phone, Denny, my friend, was on the other end the whole time listening. He didn't know what to say, neither did I. I had no idea what number I had called, and I have no idea if they actually went, but when I got off the phone with that lady I realised I had just sent someone I didn't even know to talk to their son in a city that was over 3 hours away from where I live....
