When I saw their name on caller ID I was so excited thinking they were calling to tell me they wanted to publish one of my YA books. But then confusion took over and I wondered how they even knew I had an unpublished YA book since I had never contacted them telling that? Could a friend of a friend of a friend’s brother-in-law’s cousin have mentioned to someone who worked there that I write YA books?
I picked up the phone using my most bestselling-author-like voice.
Me: Hello?
HC Person: Is this Representative Boehner’s office?
*pause while confusion boggled my brain, then…*
Me: No, I’m sorry, you have the wrong number.
HC Person: Oh, I’m sorry.
Phone: *click*
That was the closest I’ve ever been to negotiations with a major publishing house.

Quadruple LOL! :D :D :D :D Good thing Gio's not commenting or you'd get Boehner jokes.
Aw, talk about dashed hopes! Keep the faith... some day they'll call for real!
Very funny post! Found your blog on another blog stopping by to say hi! I also enjoyed your post about why you become a writer instead of an artist.
