They Got Mom!

My mother was away all weekend at a business conference. 

During a break, she decided to call home, collect.

My six-year-old brother picked up the phone and heard a stranger’s voice say, "We have a Marcia on the line. Will you accept the charges?"

Frantic, he dropped the receiver and came charging outside screaming, 


"Dad! They’ve got Mom! And they want money!"
