Day 3: Which One?

At 1:30 this afternoon I send a text to my two sisters and my cousin Helen in Montreal, Canada. My one sister and my cousin respond to the text.

Three hours later I receive a text from an unknown number. Once I see it’s a 514 area code I realize it must be one of my cousins in Montreal.

I open the text and read “Helen Bougas (514) ### – ####. This is my new number.”

“Oh. So the 714 number is no longer a good number to use?”

“No. I’m starting a new job and I wanted a new number. Out with the old, in with the new.”

I go into my contacts and delete the old contact and create a new contact with the new number.

As I scroll through Facebook I see a post from my cousin Helen. “Hey everyone! I have a new cell number. If you want my number message me and I can send it to you.”

😬

I go back to my text messages. “Is this Uncle John’s Helen or Uncle Peter’s Helen?”

“Uncle John’s”

I go back to my contacts, open up Helen (Uncle Peter’s) change it to Helen (Uncle John’s), go back to the group text I had with my cousin and sisters and create a contact for that Cousin Helen.
