Funny Voicemail Transcripts

Back on my birthday I missed a phone call from Mom and Dad.  Google voice gave me a transcript of the message that was left.  Here's what it said:
Hi. This is, Mom and Dad We're wishing you a happy birthday and we love you. If you can talk to you later, alright with jackass. Ohh. That was your mother your honor. I think I should work and he was in a long time. I mean, I remember at sorry. Hope you're doing well. I did. Marty, ideal love you, I.
 I laughed and laughed and then decided I should listen to the actual message since I was pretty sure that Google voice got some things wrong.

Here's what they really said:
Dad: Hi this is mom and dad.  We're wishing you a happy birthday and we love you! Talk to you later. Bye!
Mom (interrupting): We'll try again!
Dad: Oh! That was your mother.  I'm your father. In case you were confused.
Mom: It's been a long time, you may not remember us.  Oh, sorry. Hope you're doing well.  Hi to Marty! Love you!
Dad: Love you!
Mom and Dad: Bye!
When I called Mom and Dad back I read them the transcript, and they laughed too and then began blaming each other for saying "jackass" in the message.  Definitely one of my very favorite birthday messages ever!

A few days later, I got this transcript of a voicemail from Caroline:
Hi, Congratulations. Hussey responses here text. I lived in a meeting and I was. And that But anyways and just want to call and see how you're doing how your feeling because I was realizing that it is a time to you later. Alright texting about how I was feeling that they interest you how you're doing. So anyways, That's. Our from the cat. Love you bye.
Turns out she didn't actually call me Hussey, and her cat didn't have anything to tell me either.  Here's what she really said:
Hi! Congratulations! I'm sorry I didn't respond to your text. I was in a meeting, but I read it.  But um, anyways.  I just wanted to call and see how you were doing--how you were feeling because I was realizing that the other time we were texting about how I was feeling, but I never asked you how you were doing.  So anyways.  That's all.  Just wanted to chat.  Love you! Bye.
 I think the transcript function of Google voice has some room for improvement, but it sure has made me laugh a lot.

Thanks for the laugh, Mom, Dad and Caroline. Now I'm a little disappointed that no one ever leaves me messages calling me a hussy or a jackass. Someone get to work on that.
