Walking along briskly early this morning, I heard a bird call, an almost human-sounding whistle. Wheeee whoo wheeee whoo. It seemed to be coming from the tree tops in the little woods I was passing.
Wheeee whooo wheeeee whoooo wheeee whoooo.
On and on it went. Persistent little thing, I thought. Hm, so persistent, I realized, that it couldn’t be a bird. Probably a car alarm, I decided, although it was too pleasant a sound for an alarm…
Oh-h no, who’s the bird brain? It was my phone which I carry in my pocket on my walks as dictated by my daughters. As I walked, listening intently to the “bird,” I missed a call that I only just now remembered to check, a call I didn’t want to miss. Nuts.
So now my ringtone is a “classic” that sounds just like the phones I grew up with:
ring-g, ring-g, ring-g, ring-g.

Wherever you go, there you are. 
You are so silly. At least you could call someone if there was an emergency

Reminds me of a friend who went to the car dealer insisting there was a bird in her engine because she kept hearing chirping! Sound familiar Robin Wrench!

At least she’s got the right name to make a mistake like that.
