You call a relative or friend on the phone, there’s no answer so you leave a voicemail. If it were just one word, what might it be?

Yellow?”
(A very heavily accented version of the word “hello,” as spoken by our grandmother when we were children.)

    Ha, I'm glad.

    Talk about possibly overthinking --  I truly answered envisioning my calling perhaps a close friend or acquaintance who knows my voice, and the person knew I was going to call, and the person knew I may not have been able to have time to give details in message.

    Sigh. :)
