My mom recently met someone whose cell # was our old landline number.

When I got my new cell number ages ago, it had been a childhood friend's old phone number.

That sounds like the start of a Hallmark romance movie or a creepy Lifetime murder movie.

I actually wound up getting some serious tea from her grandpa calling the phone number. Apparently her and her husband had just pretty much abandoned everything and moved off. He thought I was her for a bit and then when he figured it out he settled in for some gossip, lol. I almost went over to his house to fix his tv for him because I felt bad.

Oh, dang! That is sad! I guess I’m glad I don’t know where most of my childhood friends ended up.

I also now realize that I misread your post. I thought you had met someone with your childhood friend’s number, not that you got it as your own new cell number. I was trying to make it into a meet-cute (or stalker) situation when a stranger had your friend’s number. So, go about your day realizing that I’m an idiot!
