Biggest Phone Bill Ever

Phone rings. I pick up. I hear, “This is the AT&T operator–“

Great, I think, telemarketer, but then he says, “–with a collect call from Iraq. Will you accept the charges?”

Hell, yes!

It’s baby bro, who has two convoys and a lot of paperwork to execute before climbing on a plane to Kuwait. Woo hoo! January 5 is the big day! He talks to mom. He talks to his kids, who are visiting mom for the weekend. He talks to me. He tells me to tell him how much this phone call is costing.

Like I care. Merry Christmas to baby bro, and Happy New Year for us. Our soldier is coming home!
