Telemistake
This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff
United States
Backfired
Today, a telemarketer called for my dad. Jokingly, I said, "I haven't seen him for like five days… I'm starting to get worried," in my best child-like voice. Apparently the telemarketer called Child Protective Services. I'm 20. FML

I know somebody that has a child-like voice. She does stuff like that all the time.

So what the OP is twenty and living at home? I'm doing the same because my parents and I work barely minimum wage. (Thanks, economy that destroyed the housing industry and both of my parents' careers!) Anyway, people save their parents over fifteen grand a year doing that.

That's funny. I should do that too. I'm 20 as well, yet I have the voice of a child when I'm on the phone. I even get some people calling me for me and thinking they have the wrong number because of it. Good times.

If I was the telemarketer I would assume that your mother/someone else was watching you.

I love playing games with telemarketers. I'd do the same!

If I was the telemarketer, I would have made fun of you and told you that your father was either dead or left your home forever.
