The Phone

John was talking to his sister, Laura, on the phone on his way home from picking up the boys from daycare. I was upstairs balancing the checkbook when they walked in the door and I could tell from the canter in his voice it was her on the other line. As Joshy usually does, he found me in the house first thing in order to say Hi. So, into my room he comes and says, "Hi Mom, Dad's talking to you on the phone...". I just laughed. When you are always Mom, I forget that he knows my name.
