This is week nine in the Sunday Scribblings prompt hosted by Peckapalooza: TheConfusing Middle.
Typically, I use the weekly prompt to write another chapter in the online story I have going. Except for this week. Too many distractions and I’m not ready.
I do have a prompt submission though, having thought about number for a while.
If I had to say the first thing to pop into my head when I heard the word Number it would be I’ve got your number.
Meanings change so fast I wasn’t expecting to find it still means what I think of at the sound of those words. I guess a good definition is worth keeping.

So hopefully, saying No, I’m not interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge still means the same thing today too.
I was thinking today’s usage of the phrase would be more like…
“Give me a call sometime”
“Sure, I’ve got your number”
On further thought though, I think both meanings apply today.
“I’ve got your number (1-800-123-4567) and no, I’m not interested in the scam of the week.”
Numbers are a wonderful thing.
