Leave a message at the beep. Coming up with the perfect message is an ordeal. First, a message that is different from everyone else's must be created. Then the background must be considered. Blaring television, fighting kids and wailing babies don't make a person eager to call back.
Music is perfect.
Then comes the message. Don't say you aren't home. If you do, you might pull in and find your entire house has been swiped by thieves. It is rarely wise to be truthful. So get off my back and quit calling here.
