An Embarassing Phone Call

Today let us peek in to the lives of an un-assuming housewife who is home with her two daughters, 1 and 3. Wifey has just finished changing a dirty diaper in the 1-year-old's room and is proceeding to the master bedroom where her three year old had suspiciously closed the door a few minutes earlier.

Wifey opens the door and sees the three year old "pretending" to have a conversation on their bed stand phone.

Wifey: "What are you doing?"

The three year old, surprised that Mommy caught her talking on the phone, quickly puts the phone down on it's base.

The Three Year Old: "...talking to Grandma..." (mumbling)

30 seconds later, the phone rings.

Wifey: "Hello, Martins."

PA State Police: "Hello, this is the East Penn Police. We just recieved a call from your residence. Is everything OK?"

Wifey: "Everything is alright. It was probably my three year old playing with the telephone."

PA State Police: "It sounded like a child was talking..."

Wifey: "Oh, you mean she was actually talking to someone?"

PA State Police: "Yes, ma'am."

Wifey: "Oh, dear... I will sit my daughter down and have a good talk with her."

PA State Police: "Thank you, ma'am."

Wifey: "Yes... bye."

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Mount the base station on the wall in the dining room, out of the reach of 1 - 4 year olds.

MY DAY
After 11 hours of work, 2 hours of church activities, about 1.5 hours of driving and 40oz of Wawa coffee, I'm sleepy.
