How could I forget...

So, Tracey gave us her cell phone to use while we were out in the city center. Somehow, I was the one to hold the phone...ndb right? So we are exploring and we see this pretty church. We walk in, become major tourist with our cameras, but who cares. There are about 15 signs all around the church saying, "silence". I'm silent...it's hard, but I manage. So we are almost done in the church and I'm walking next to Jenna and we both hear this loud whistle and then someone screaming taxi. We look at each other like wth?! I keep walking thinking nothing of it. I soon realize that it is the cell phone that Tracey gave us. I pull it out, but there are no buttons on the side of the phone to silence it. It just continues to get louder and louder. I'm so flustered, people are staring, and I can't keep the phone quiet. I end up opening the phone and then closing it. Apparently, hanging up on the person calling was my only quick fix to the problem. About 20 seconds later it starts ringing, well screaming at me again! I have no idea what to do, so naturally I hang up again. I think we are good to go, but it starts to scream at me again!! This time, I run out of the church and answer the phone. It was Tracey's son and he was worried becasuse he thought his mom was hanging up on him! I then had to explain that I am one of the 4 girls that will be living with him, that he hasn't met yet and that his mom still loves him because he thought that his mom didn't love him anymore. I had only been in Brussels for about an hour and I already made a fool of us. Great.
