I spoke too soon and I’m still scared…

How in the world can someone confuse “he called from Germany” with “he is waiting for a plane out of Iraq”? I just don’t get it. My husband told me T. called from Germany. I thought he was on his way home from Iraq but now I find out he is still there waiting for a flight.

I keep asking my husband how the information got miscommunicated but he just says it was hectic at our daughter-in-law’s house today and it was just a mistake. This bites.
