RING,RING, WHERE IS THAT PHONE?

A few years ago, my daughter and son-in-law gave me a Cordless phone for Christmas. It came with a base which is an answering machine, and plugs into an outlet for charging.

Yesterday when the phone rang, I discovered it's absence
from the base in the Dining room. After hanging up from talking to my friend, I began my search for it.

Remote controls for the TV & VCR have a way of getting misplaced in most households in America. I have hunted for them numerous times, but this was was the first time I have had to do an exstensive search for my cordless phone.

I looked in every room in the house, concentrating mostly on the living room.. Since this prooved futile, there was only one thing to do. I called my friend & asked her to call me back. She knew that the answereing machine would come on after so many rings, so she let the phone ring several times, hung up & repeated the process.

Ring, ring, I'm getting closer.
Ring, ring, it's coming from the Living room where I had previously searched.
Ring, ring the sound was getting louder.
Ring , ring, it's coming from the couch.
Aha there it is behind a cushion.
" Found it I gleefully told my friend, whereapon the phone went dead after a warning beep. I hapily replaced it to be charged &
called my friend on my other phone.

Little did Alexander Graham Bell realize, that one day his invention would evolve into an instrument that would enable this little old lady track down her phone with it's ability to ring .
