I got a telephone call this week that was confusing to me.  When I answered the phone, a lady asked me if I knew George Washington.   Did I know George Washington?
All that I could get out of my mouth was, "I don’t understand what you mean."
She said something about Tommy Webb.  Of course I know that Tommy is the DeKalb County Historian.  I realize that I am an elderly lady, but I was not around when George Washington was the President.
I must have mumbled when telling her again that I just did not understand what she meant.  Then the lady hung up.
Later as I thought about it, the caller may have been serious.  Maybe she said, "George Washington"; meaning George Washington (and then something else).
I know that sometimes parents will name a child in honor of some famous person.  Mama and my step-daddy, Roscoe Ervin, named my brother Douglas MacArthur Ervin in honor of the famous general who served our country during World War II.
Well, I called Justin Potter Library and talked to Tommy.  He said a lady from Oklahoma came by to check on her genealogy.  She mentioned George Washington Childress, and Tommy said that I might know since I am related to the Childress family.  In fact, my great-grandfather was George Washington Childress.
I have always been told that we were related to Sarah Childress, the wife of Tennessee Governor and United States President James K. Polk. 
I don’t know if the lady ever found any more information or not, but Tommy said he would have her call me again should she return.
A person never knows when a telephone call could be a prank.
This reminded me of one time when someone called me and asked if my refrigerator was running.  I said "Yes."
The caller then said, "You had better run and catch it."
