Friday night glitch in the matrix for real? We can’t explain it ?

[stonejam]

My daughter has had no phone for a week as it broke. She always texts coming home and since it’s been getting dark if she stops at the shops with one of her friends she calls me and asks me to pick her up as it’s a good 10-15 mins walk back home. It got to 4.25 and I was getting worried, I know buses are late sometimes but this was quite still late by her standards and she always calls me. I call one of her friends and she was on the bus with my daughter and said my daughter went to the shops a while ago and was going to call me from her other friends phone to pick her up. I admit I did start to worry as she didn’t call me at all so I said ok and then suddenly a knock on the door and it was my daughter I was relieved but shocked as I said she usually calls me to pick her up as she hates walking in the dark, and straight away she said ‘where were you I called you ages ago and you said you’d be picking me up in a minute I used Amy’s phone (Amy made up name) not the friend I called just as she walked in. I said I didnt get a call from you, she said ‘look at your phone mum’ I called you and spoke to you, it even sounded like you!! I looked at my phone and nope there was no call or even missed call from Amy’s phone! My daughter said whoever it was sounded just like you ! and that I said yes, coming give me a minute and I even said ciao 😱 it wasn’t me at all! I didn’t get any calls and we didn’t speak but my daughter said we did speak and when I asked her for the 10th time she said stop it’s scaring me now. I did call you!
now for context my daughter is most likely on the adhd spectrum and has been known to tell a fib or two but usually I get it out of her. She is absolutely adamant we spoke and was waiting for me as she hates walking back and she even got upset that I don’t believe her. Her little fibs are usually easy to spot, this isn’t her usual little fib. Any explanation other my daughter didn’t call me and is making it up? I don’t think she’s lying as she always calls me to pick her up even from a friend phone as she has done this week. Even when she has a phone she usually keeps in touch with me and lets me know what bus she is on etc and will use her friends phones of needs be. She is 11 , nearly 12

I wonder why OP hasn’t done this?

I saw the call on Amy’s phone , I didn’t even ask for screen shot as I think kids can create all sorts these days so I went to the shops as she lives near there and I’m friendly with her mum and she did call and she called the time she has been lately, and it was definitely my number! She also swear on her nans life. she also asked to see me phone but it never called nor did I have a miss call. Either it’s a techno glitch and someone else spoke weirdly sounded like me or it’s just weird.

There must be a logical explanation, surely! Saying that she didn’t need to lie to me about it! That’s the thing, she’s the one using her friends phone to call me to pick her up this week, since it’s getting dark and she doesn’t like it. She said she waited so long and did wonder why I didn’t come as I usually turn up and tell her I’ll be a minute. I thought maybe she thought she called me, my daughter has excellent memory for some things but other times is scatty and distracted and thought she called me. One of those mysterious things.
