The phone was ringing and I was late. I was trying to get ready
for my Board meeting, and the phone was going. I have a phone that tells me who
is calling by saying it, so I don’t have to go and see who it is.
It was McGill University on the phone and I stopped. OMG, I
thought, something is wrong with my daughter and they’re calling me. A father
thinks like that when his kid is so many hours away, and off I ran to retrieve
the phone.
The McGill University Parents Fund, of course! They had me!
I should have known. If my daughter was in trouble it would never be at 6:00
p.m.! Only telemarketers call at that time.
I was caught and had no escape except the truth. I did not
want to listen to his discussion points; I just wanted to know how much it
would cost me for him to go away. He agreed not to explain it to me if I gave
money, and so I did.
Ain’t life wonderful!
