I didn’t actually do it - I blocked the number. I know for fact it is not from my child on the grounds that I don’t have any.
But it crossed my mind to reply with “OMG! Hope you’re OK! Is that Johnboy, or Tracey?”
And then mess with them.
My other thought was to reply with “Which of my children are you?” As they would then have to supply a name. Which would probably indicate to them that they’d been rumbled. Much more fun the first way.
Anyone done this?
I admit this isn’t really an AIBU, so I’ve removed the poll. But this struck me as the kind of forum where people might enjoy kicking this idea around.
