Just One Number


It was 4:30 and the high school principal was filling out some forms. She stepped out of her office and asked me if I could find out what the congressional district number our school is in. I looked for a few minutes but wasn't able to find it. The phone rang and I got busy with something else. Two minutes to five, I looked again and found the number she needed. 5:02 the principal was leaving her office with her coat and bag.

"Bye, have a good night, see you tomorrow." she said

"Goodnight, see you tomorrow, oh I found out the district number, its 12." I said

"Oh thanks, you know I should really write it down, I'm going to forget it by tomorrow." she said turning back to her office.

A few seconds later she stepped out of her office and said.

"Its a good thing I went to write it down, I forgot my phone on my desk."
