I called my dear friend Geni this morning (on HER cell phone) and her daughter Natalie answered the phone. Here was our conversation (Natalie is 4):
Natalie: Hello.
Me: Hi Natalie. Is your mom there?
N: I don't know.
M: Do you know where she is?
N: No. Talk to David.
(I have no idea who David is. He must be a friend of her 10 yo brother Noah.)
Davd: Hello
Me: Hi David. Is Geni there?
David: I don't know.
M: David could you please hang up the phone? I will call right back and leave a message, so please do not answer it when it rings.
David: Okay.
(I call back.)
Natalie: Hello.
Me: (sigh) Natalie please hang up the phone and when I call back do not answer so that I can leave your mom a voicemail message.
N: Okay.
(I call back again.)
Natalie: Hello.
Me: I give up.
(I hang up).
A few minutes later Geni calls back. She tells me that Natalie told her that I called and that I just KEPT calling back. Oy!
