Karis, Meg, and Ev were all over at Mom's today.  While we were eating lunch, the house phone rang.  Karis answered, and, after a few monosyllabic answers, hung up perfunctorily.  She returned to the table.
Karis:  They asked for Will.
Mom:  Did you tell them he was dead?
Karis:  No!
Mom:  That's what I say.  Then they start right in with "I'm so sorry...."  That's when I hang up.
I can think of nothing to say to that.  
Which I guess is pretty much the point.
