Phone rings.
I answer phone. After what seems like an unusual delay for a normal call, someone with an adult male voice comes on the line.
"Grandpa, it's me."
Hmm. My eldest grandson is 7 years old.
It's not him. In any case all my grandkids call me "Granddad" not "Grandpa."
"Hello!" I say cautiously.
"It's me, your grandson."
"Who?"
"It's me. Your eldest grandson!"
"Really? What's your name?"
"Steve!"
"Sorry. My eldest grandson isn't called Steve. You obviously have the wrong number."
I hang up.
Did I just dodge one of those "Your grandson is in jail and you need to send $5,000 to bail him out!" scams?

BTW, did you hear about the April Fools prank that Blogger played on UK bloggers? They quietly set their server clocks ahead so that all blog posts in the UK would publish a day early.
And I believe, subsequent to an agreement signed in the fall of 2015, that Nelson's flagship is now the Coca-Cola HMS Victory.
Simpler than that - someone let Buff near the keyboard ;(
it happens all the time. I see an interesting post in my blogroll and then when I click on it, the original post isn't on the blog any more.
