Suri

Google is my go to informant but once in awhile I like to use Suri. She's always willing to help in a more personal way because she actually asks you how she can help. I was in need of some quick information and decided to ask Suri. With a slight touch of the home button on my iPhone our conversation went like this:

Suri: What can I help you with?

Me: I need the phone number of the Costco Optical.......

Not waiting for me to finish Suri answered, I found a number for Costco Optical,  listed the number and continued, would you like me to call it for you?

Looking at the area code I immediately knew it wasn't the correct number so I started over.

Suri: What can I help you with?

Me: I need the phone number for Costco Optical in Washington.

Suri: I found a number for Costco Optical in Washington. 

Seeing she wasn't going in the direction I wanted, I interrupted her with a frustrated sigh and hung up.

Looking up from reading the paper, the husband said, what?   

Me: She's not getting it.

 Well, you're being to wordy just get to the point.

Ready to give it another try, this time less wordy and to the point, I picked up the phone from the counter. It fumbled about in my hand and almost dropped on the tile floor. Luckily, with cat like reflexes, I recovered it then turned towards the husband and started giggling. He just shook his head and said I should be in a movie.

Here we go again, take 3.

Suri: What can I help you with?

Still giggling:  The phone number for Costco Optical in.....

Just as I was about to say Washington state, the husband interjected with Union Gap, which confused Suri altogether and by me giggling, only made things worse.

 So I composed myself and started over, again.

Suri: What can I help you with?
Me: The phone number for Costco Optical in Union Gap Washington.

Suri: I found a number for Costco Optical in Union Gap Washington.....

I'm thinking, finally now we're getting somewhere. 

Then I hear, D.C.

Washington D.C, really? Looking at the husband I said, I'm using the phone book.

Had this been a movie, a comedy no doubt, I could see it starring the Three Stooges but instead of Curly, Larry and Moe it would be Saimi, Suri and the Husband.
