I hope I Don't Get Anymore Phone Calls

Here is a quick funny story my dad likes to tell about my older brother Ryan being "squirrely" as a kid.

I have two older brothers Ryan and Darren. They are seven and eleven years older respectively. This story took place when I was around two and my older brother Ryan was nine. Here is how my dad likes to tell the story:

So, I come home from working all day and the kids are running around the house acting "squirrely". They were hopped up on sugar and soda pop or something.

Ma finally gets everyone seated for dinner. Then Ryan leaps up and grabs the telephone and starts yelling "hello? hello?" The phone didn't even ring. So I smack him upside the head and tell him to sit down. He's just sitting their bawling and then says "I hope I don't get any more phone calls". Everyone busted out laughing. 

 

Ryan was always a goofball growing up and it is funny to see his kids now are also goofballs and do stuff like this. Hearing stories of my dad and his brothers, I think being a "screw off" is just in the Garrett DNA.
