      Notes on an overheard conversation about locking the keys in the car
                                        
“Finally! I'm home!” 

“Yes you are!” 

“And you didn't answer your phone.” 

“You didn't call!” 

“Yes I did.” 

“Oh! I see I did receive a call, but it was from a number not on my contact
list. You know I don't answer those.” 

“I was hoping you'd make an exception.” 

“It's hard to make an exception when I don't know who is calling.” 

“Sigh. I locked my keys in my car, and I had to walk home from Panera Bread
[1].” 

“Oh dear … ” 

“Now I have to locate my spare key.” 

“Oh, you mean this key.” 

“Yes. Could you please drive me to my car now?”
