On Sunday I brought my portable Bluetooth speaker in to the garage so we could listen to holiday music while we read garage door assembly instructions over and over.

I got a text from Steven’s dad asking if I’d call him about a gift for Steven. When Steven went inside the house for a minute, I left the garage, disconnected my phone from the speaker, walked down the driveway, and called Steven’s dad.

We were talking about the gift when my phone cut out. I kept saying “hello?” and “are you still there?”

When I finally realized what happened, and looked down at my phone to confirm that yes, it had for some reason reconnected to the Bluetooth speaker, Steven was already back in the garage working, and heard everything his dad said and what the gift was. Because it was being broadcast on the freaking speaker.

Great.

Just… act surprised. Sigh.

Yay, Christmas
