News to me

Today, I got a call from my parents' divorce lawyer. When I answered the phone, she thought I was my mother and told me the details about my parent's divorce. I'm a 13-year-old boy who sounds like a woman and just learned that my parents are separating. FML

Congratulations, you're a thirteen year old boy on the internet and you're using correct grammar. Your life isn't ******; you still have a future.

Fake. In real world business environment, caller will ALWAYS address the person. Even if the lawyer think OP is his mom, it is rude not say "hi/good afternoon Mrs xxx".

Well he could've said, "Hello?" And the lawyer assumed he was his mother and said, "Good afternoon (name of mother)" and just continued on with the details, thus he didn't have to say another word. He could've kept quiet and just not have said anything. That's always a possibility.

People ALWAYS mistake me for my mom, so now when they say "Hello" and if I recognize the voice, I immediatly say who I am. But in the beginning I dind't have that reflex, so sometimes people would just talk and talk before I had the chance to point out their mistake. Anyway, FYL for learning about your parents' divorce that way. Don't worry about your voice, it will deepen. Also, you sound like a woman, but it will change. I sound like my mom for those who know her, but for strangers I sound like a child (strangely, my mom doesn't. How is THAT fair???) So I often hear "Why hello there, is your mummy or your daddy home, please?" I'm 19 for god's sake.

FYL: finding out about your parents' divorce like that isn't really nice YDI: for not leting the lawyer know you weren't your mum straight away. Hold your head up though kid, you'll be alright. Speaking from experience your views on relationships and marriage might suffer, but your parents will ulitimately always be there for you, but they just won't be living together. Whatever you feel thought, don't bottle it in. Speak to someone about it and you'll be fine.

no, spell is irregular verb, and past indefinite form of it is indeed "spelt".

actually you're all dumbasses. spelt and spelled are BOTH correct and can be used interchangeably.

Don't worry 'bout the voice thing, everyone sounds weird on the phone. The divorce thing on the other hand...I hope it goes better than my parents! I'm up to devorce number two and my mum wouldn't even go to my graduation because my dad would be in the same room! Good luck.

#23 yeah, don't worry man, i sound like...uh nvm. jk dude, since you found out, ask your mom & dad to take you to dinner as a family. then when they hear 'family' they might cancel the divorce. no promises if it'll work or not but give it a try ;)

I remember one time this guy called and my mom picked up. He thought she was one of the kids, so he asked her to speak to her dad. Her dad passed away, and thats what she told him. I don't think he called much after that...
