Shortly after moving in to this house we started getting phone calls in the middle of the night. It was a fax machine and all we would get would be beeps but it was frightfully annoying at 3.am. The phone company said there was nothing they could do unless we wanted to change our phone number. We didn't want to do that cos we had only just got it and for those of you that have followed us for a while know that we have moved 13 times in 20 years so another number change was not about to happen. We decided to just turn the ringers off on the phone in our room. Problem solved, well sort of. Now the problem is that when we are upstairs we don't hear the phone. I thought of a way to help with that, I would teach Lily to answer the phone. I thought all kids liked answering the phone but Lily isn't overly impressed and will do it occasionally. I have taught her exactly what she can and cannot say and she does really well when she feels like it.
Where is this epic tale going you ask? Fast forward to this afternoon. I was in the kitchen and the phone rang and she answered it. This is what followed.
Lily: Hello, who is it ?
Oh Hi Goo Goo how are you?
Is it tonight the night that you come to our house?
What?
(she then repeats the sentence again)
Oh, I thought you were coming tonight. When are you coming? Is Mummy giving you a massage?
(she has now walked into the kitchen and I asked if I could have a word with Goo Goo)
Lily: Mummy wants to talk to you.I love you Goo Goo, bye.
Dawn: Hi CF.
And this is the part that just cracked me up............... instead of Goo Goo being on the other end of the phone I hear a lady's voice say, "I'm sorry, I have the wrong number!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I absolutely lost it. I laughed so hard. Lily asked me 3 times what was so funny and I couldn't answer her. When I finally told her she just looked at me and said, "Oy Gevalt, I am so embarrassed!"
It was classic, just classic. Now I bet she will never answer the phone again!

That is too cute~! She did such a great job, but it was the wrong person. Poor honey.
You need to let her answer when the telemarketers call!!!
I love that!
Does she really say "Gevalt"? I have never heard of that.
She is soooo funny.
Oh Gevalt; Lily is just too funny. I had to tell this one to a few people it was so cute.
