Conversation I just listened to over the phone when calling to set up visiting teaching:
Me: Hi, this is your home teacher. I was wondering when would be a good time to come home teaching this month.
Mrs. X (to husband): Honey, when are we available for home teaching this week?
Mr. X (to wife): Um ... I don't know. Probably Wednesday or Thursday would be best.
Mrs. X (to husband - visibly annoyed): Well, I would say Wednesday is out ... since that's Valentine's Day.
Mr. X (to wife - sheepishly): Oh yeah. I forgot.
Mrs. X (to husband): How about Tuesday?
Mr. X (to wife): That sounds good. What time?
Mrs. X (to husband): Well, do you want to have dinner before they come visit or wait until after?
Mr. X (to wife): Well, what are we having for dinner?
Mrs. X (to husband - again annoyed): I don't know!
Mr. X (to wife): Oh wait, I have something on Tuesday. I can't do that day. How about Thursday at 8?
Mrs. X (to me): How does Thursday at 8 sound?
Me: Sounds good. We'll see you then.
Maybe it was a "had-to-be-there" but I was struggling not to laugh out loud over the phone.

Either you had to be there, or know who these people are. Either way, I think Mills... uh, the Xs, are funny!
