Top answer
m yesterday, I had my lunch. Literally, it seems to mean that your having lunch was prompted or instigated by the phone call. Absent some special context, this is not something that we would normally expect to happen, so we tend to doubt this meaning, and wonder instead whether "I had" is a mistake for "I was having".
