When my grandparents called to wish me a happy birthday, I was in my bedroom and the phone was ringing from the study. I knew they'd want to wish me a happy birthday, but my parents were asleep and I thought that my grandparents would like to talk to them too and they might think differently of me if I answered and said they were asleep - they're the type that would worry. Was it rude for me to not answer? My sister later said, "I feel sorry for them," in an effort to make me feel bad for not having answered the phone. I knew she was trying to make me feel bad because before she had kept drilling me about where I was when they called, blah blah blah. Was that rude of me to not answer the telephone?
