Last Friday, I got a phone call. I didn't recognize the number but I answered because it could've been a potential employer calling.
"Hello," I said.
"Mom?" a little boy asked on the other end.
This was the first time I had ever been called that, even if it was a mistake. People tend to assume I have children and are surprised when I tell them that I don't. But it's weird, I paused, thinking, "Am I?" I think I said "hello" again or "what?" or "excuse me". He asked again, "Mom?"
