Odd Calls From Odd People

"Hello!". In answer to the phone

Caller:"What you doing?"

Me:"I'm working"."What about you?"

Caller:"Same old thing, this isn't Pumpkin is it?"

Me:"No, this isn't Pumpkin, never been called Pumpkin. 
She must have changed her number 
for I have been getting these calls from 
strangers off and on. This is a new number for me
and apparently it did belong to Pumpkin."

Caller:"Sorry, I didn't think this was Pumpkin."

(Several calls from strangers since I got a new cell phone #..)
