How Do I Respond to This?

Last night the home phone rang. Caller ID showed it as a Private Name & Number. As my in-laws show up as that, I answered it.

Me: Hello, Shepherds.
Lady: Hello?
Me: Hello...
Lady: I'm looking for Jason.
Me: He's not home from work yet. Can I take a message?
Lady: Yeah, my name is Stacy and I'm 3 months pregnant. Have him call me at this number.
Me: (Pausing and unable to think of anything better to say) Is this regarding Real Estate?
Lady: Nooo
Me: And you're looking for Jason who?
Lady: Jason Foothill.
Me: (slight giggle) Ah, you've got the wrong number...
Lady: Oh, bye (click)

How would you have handled that one???
