One evening I was at home watching TV with my family. My mobile phone rang and I saw a number I never call on the screen. It was an old friend of mine in Germany I wondered what she wanted as we no longer kept in touch.
“Hello. Anna. “I said. “How are you? I haven’t heard from you in ages.”
“But you sent me a text message and told me to phone you.” she replied. “You said it was urgent!”
Then I realized it was a message for my sister Amber. I sent the message to the wrong person by mistake! I’ve never felt so embarrassed.
