Today’s my daddy’s birthday and we had a brief phone conversation to commemorate it:

Me: (phone rings, I answer) Happy Birthday Daddy.

Daddy: (long pause) So you’re still alive?

Me: Why wouldn’t I be?

Daddy: Well, Maxine called me and wished me a happy birthday, that’s when I realized I didn’t hear anything from you. I thought something was wrong with you or you were sick.

Me: Why would you think I was sick? I was just waiting until after 9pm so your cell phone minutes would be free

Daddy: Ooooooh. Well, you’re usually the one who remembers everybody’s birthday and when I didn’t hear from you…

Me: Aaaaw, I’m sorry, but I really was just thinking of your cell phone bill cuz I know it’s your only phone and I don’t want to use up all your minutes.

Can’t believe my daddy would actually think I’d forget his birthday (hello – it’s the day after Valentine’s Day) – next year I will pay no concern to cell phone minutes or sleep and call him at 12:01am like I do for everyone :D
