My mom had been crying right before she answered the phone and my dad must have realized that from the sound of her voice because instead of hanging up when he knew it wasn't his friend he tried to call, he instead asked her what was wrong. He listened to her problems and they talked for awhile. From that call, they decided that they liked each other enough that they should meet up sometime in person.
Now my mom gets annoyed at me and my brother for not answering our phones often enough because if she was like us and didn't pick up the phone, then she wouldn't have met our dad and we wouldn't exist. She ignores a lot of calls now too but gives the excuse that she doesn't have to answer phone calls because she already has my dad. Lol XD
