talk is cheap

my two year old loves to talk on the phone. every time it rings he yells, "i wanna talk to him!" regardless of who is calling. usually this is a nuisance when i'm trying to have a conversation with someone and he keeps screeching and pulling on the cord, but since the resurrection of our house phone* this is becoming very useful. we don't have caller i.d. so when i answer and that same guy from the east valley tribune is still trying to get me to subscribe, i just ask him politely to hold on a minute and say, "isaak, it's for you."

*we are often left without a phone. there's most likely a landfill somewhere collecting our cordless phones [we've lost at least 3 this year] compliments of ikey. and since precious recently chewed up my cell phone charger, that's usually dead as well. so, i finally had to dig up the old corded phone from the closet in hopes that its attatchment to the wall will help it stay put for a while at least.

no phone - cake

HAHA I love it you give the telemarketer a taste of his own medicine! Except Ike is MUCH cuter and more entertaining to talk to!

Same story over here. Will loves himself a good phone conversation. Except the phone itself is too long for proper hearing/talking so he spends most of his conversations schreeching "tan't her you... tan't her you...". Weirdo.
