Devorah Sussman was at home with her 6 kids while her husband Chaim was on a business trip. In between meetings, he called home to say hello.

The phone rang but in going to answer it, Devorah tripped on a rug, grabbed for something to hold on to and seized the telephone table. It fell over with a crash, jarring the receiver, turning on the phone. As it fell, it hit one of the twins – Shmuli who started crying. Shmuli thought his twin brother Avi hit him so he hit him back and Avi started crying. The teenage daughter Rachel screamed “shut up I’m trying to do my homework!” while Devorah started mumbling some colourful words under her breath.

Devorah finally managed to pick up the receiver and lift it to her ear, just in time to hear her husband Chaim’s voice on the other end say, "Nobody's said hello yet, but I'm positive I have the right number."
