Just call me James!!!!

My husband and I had a very funny morning. Now I know that everyone has at one point or another received a "wrong number" call at an odd time. I have received several, but never one quite like this morning. This was our not so typical morning.
At 3am Chicken Little decided she was awake. I mean wide awake. I had been up with her for some time, and was working on maybe 3 hours of sleep, so when she wouldn't go back down, Papa Rooster offered to get up stay up with her for a while. This was all and good until about 3:30 when she wailed for a bottle. Of course, I didn't have one prepared, so I got up and made a bottle, fed her, and she went right down. (Now why couldn't she have done that earlier?...lol) Anyway, Papa Rooster and I finally went back to bed around 4am.
At 5:15 the dreaded alarm sounded. Papa Rooster and I lay sleepily chatting about Chicken Little and our night, and how we really didn't want to get up. The alarm sounds again. His "work" cell phone begins to ring, and from the number listed, it's obviously a wrong number. It wasn't even our area code.

This is the conversation:

Papa Rooster: "Hello."
Unknown Female Caller: "James."
PR: "Ma'am, you have the wrong number."
FC: "I know this isn't the wrong number, James."
PR: "My name is ____, and I work with ____company. This is the company phone you've called."
FC: "No, James. Why aren't you at home?"
PR: "I am at home."
FC: "No you're not James. Come on home."
PR: " I AM at home and I'm in the bed!!!!!"
Female caller precedes and Papa Rooster hangs up in exasperation.

We lay there talking and laughing about the persistence of this unknown individual, and the phone rings again. Same number mind you. So I think, I'll answer and when she hears a female voice, maybe then she will realize that she really does have the wrong number. Much to my surprise there is a male's voice on the other end.
This is our conversation:

Mama Hen: "Hello."
Unknown Male Caller: "Who is this?"
MH: "I'm sorry, you have the wrong number."
Caller: "I know it's not the wrong number, she just talked to him, now hand the phone over."
MH: "Yes, and when she called, she had the wrong number and she spoke to my husband."
----Pause-----
Caller: "I have the wrong number."
*Hangs up phone.*
"NO KIDDING, SHERLOCK!!"----lol

By this time Papa Rooster and I are wide awake and rolling with laughter. So now I refer to Papa Rooster as "James".

God really knows how to lighten situations and just the right time!!!! Thank you anonymous caller for a laugh this morning!!!!
