Phone wars
July 10, 2008For a while my dad has been away on a business trip. When he first called us I made special effort to get the phone first. Because of this my mum gave the phone to… little sister one. As a result, I started jumping up and down with anger (as a joke) little sister one took great pleasure in this. When she had finished I held out my hand. She handed the phone to…little sister two. This resulted in more jumping up and down until I got the phone. I had my conversation with dad and then handed the phone to mum. I spent the rest of the afternoon chasing after little sister one.
Now, whenever dad calls us I try and get the phone. so does little sister one. If I get it then I always hand it to little sister two rather that let little sister one get to it. She does exactly the same.
Now there is a phone war between us. The battle lines are as good as marked in the carpet.
Hah! Sounds like me trying to get a moment’s piece to talk on the phone, with my kids all interrupting me.
