Just Gushing

So my cell phone rings at about 7PM. It's a number I don't recognize and usually I just let those go to voice mail but since school started, I am trying to answer my phone more... ya know, so my kids don't miss a play date (where I can get a break).

I answer, "Hello?". A little boy's voice on the other end says, "Is Skylin there?" I ask, "May I ask who's calling,". He says, "Uh, yeah." Then silence.

Me: "Ok, then. Who are you?"

Him: " This is ______"

Me: "Hi _________. Hold on a minute. I'll go get Skylin."

I go and get Skylin and tell her she has a phone call. After 2-3 minutes of telling her she needs to take the call, and her saying she doesn't know who ___________ is, she reluctantly takes the phone and says, "Hey."

Then I hear...

"Ok.... yeah. ok... ok... uh huh. ok. bye"

When I ask her what that was about, she said, "___________ is mad at me 'cause I ate one of his Gushers during recess and he wants me to get him more Gushers, that are on sale at Walmart."

I gave her a quarter and said, "Give this to him and don't eat anyone's snack on the playground again."

We haven't heard from him since.
