Collect Call


My mother was away all weekend at a business conference.

During a break, she decided to call home collect.


My six-year-old brother picked up the phone and heard a stranger's voice say, "We have a Betty on the line. Will you accept the charges?"


Frantic, he dropped the receiver and came charging outside screaming, "Dad! They've got Mom! And they want money!"
