huh?

I got a weird phone message from Mom today.

“Hi. It's not an emergency, but... well... you need to know what's going on. Bye!"

Vaguely alarmed, I called home and got Dad.

“What’s up?”

“I got a weird phone message from Mom. She said it’s not an emergency, but I need to know what’s going on?”

Dad repeated it to Mom, who said, “I thought he’d know what that means.”

I didn’t know we were speaking in code on our voicemail now. I look forward to the call informing me that the owls are not what they seem or that Freelancer needs an extraction.
