The Phone Call

Today I had my first real conversation with Lily on the phone. Our usual phonecalls consists of my making an ass of myself, shootin' the one-year-old shit to a phone long abandoned by Lily, who usually squeals into the phone when she hears my voice, throws the phone down and runs to the other side of the room. (sounds ominous, eh?)

Driving home from work today, I phoned home to get the lowdown from Jason. Jay was in the garage with Lily. She loves the garage. Who doesn't?

She was put on the phone immediately and our very first convero went something like this: Note that all capitalized words indicate that she was YELLING into the phone.

M: Hi Lily Baby!!
L: LILY!!
M: How was your day?
*Silence*
M Did you see Granpa and Granma today?
L: BUMPA!!
*778* Dial tone

I phone back. Lily is back on the phone.

M: Hi Baby!!
L: BABY BABY
M: Are you in the garage with Papa?
L: PAPA! PAPA! PAPA!
M: What are you doing?
*Silence*
*Squeals, drops phone and runs off*

I phone back again. I just want to find out if Jay needs anything before I get home. No such luck - she's back on the phone.

M: Hello Lily!
L: HELLO HELLO! HELLO! LILY! LILY!
M: Are you in the garage with Mr. Sun? (there's a sun pinata in our garage)
L: MI SAH (Mr. Sun)
M: Are you reading a book? (I'm reaching now - there's only so much we can talk about)
L: BOOK!!!!
M: K. Cool. Bye bye Lily. Where's Papa? Put Papa on the phone.
L: BYE BYE!! COOL!! COOL!
