Sorry, son

By Waffle - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff

Today, a little boy called me, crying that "Grandma died" in a broken voice. I just didn't have the heart to say, "Wrong number." FML

I believe it is the perfect response in meeting the current psychological needs of the child.

I don't think I could have told him wrong number either. how sad, poor kid.

OMGG THATZ SO SAD...I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DID THE SAME THING....

That's really sad, but yeah, you actually should have told him because this could cause problems for the person he was meant to tell. Although who gets a young boy to tell that to people?

I would have said, "guess what? your dog's gonna die too...

If you didn't say wrong number then what'd you do..?

That's what I'm wondering too. Who did the kid think he was calling? Did OP fake being that person, and if so, how? I would pay good money for a recording or transcript of that conversation.
