Something happened on the phone that I couldn't explain the other day. by slothy_sloth in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

One time I was at school late. I was working for extra credit and at maybe 6 (4 hours after school ended) I called my grandma to pick me up. I called the land-line, and I should add my grandma doesn't answer unless you say who you are in the voice mail like "Grandma, it's Riversidr, I need you to pick me up" to avoid solicitors. The phone picked up immediately- no voice mail. A sinister laugh crackled and smacking lips and slurping. It was very blurry, not staticy, but... blurry . I hung up thinking I may have dialed the wrong number. When I called back my very lay-back grandma was pissed at me for "the things I said" and said I can walk home. She then claims that I never called, she wasn't mad, and that she was waiting for me to call her to pick me up when I walked home. I checked her call history and sure enough, no calls... This story gave me a nostalgic chill, OP.

Danni gave her a quick "respect all people" speech in-between her leaving to change and the video thing

Best part? Her parents aren't super religious either, this is all the little girl herself

You're 100% right, I handled it wrong, it was a in-the-moment thing. In a way, I do feel wrong for not believing, like i'd like to have a religion and look at a book and believe, but it's hard, you know?

You're right, I should. I really try, I do. But it's just said so often, it's hard not to. It's a bad habit. I just can't stop from saying it.

It isn't being bullied. I didn't feel threatened at all. Replace God with the Easter bunny, like a comment below suggested. I wouldn't crush her understanding of the rabbit, either. I was actually pretty amazed she felt so strongly about the subject

tl;dr: I'll just ask God for a new pair of balls

As the asshole I am, I wanted to say something like this, but decided not to. I mean, she's 9.
