Maggie really did not want me to go to work this morning, and obviously, my boss really wanted me to go to work this morning. The compromise: I promised Maggie that I would call her later in the morning and we could talk a little while. The following is the phone conversation I had with Maggie.
Mrs. Ann answers the phone and I ask to speak to Maggie.
Mrs. Ann: "Maggie, the phone is for you."
Maggie: "I don't want the phone."
Mrs. Ann: "No Maggie, your mama is on the phone. She wants to talk to you."
Maggie: "Oh, she wants to talk to me?"
I hear Maggie running to the phone.
Maggie: "Hey mama. Are you going to be here in 3 minutes?"
Me: "Well, not three minutes, but I will be home in a little while."
Maggie: "Oh. Hey, look at this."
I hear rustling, but no Maggie.
However, in the background I hear…
Mrs. Ann: “Baby, she can’t see that. You have to tell her what you want her to see.”
Mrs. Ann: “No, Maggie, you have to tell her your panties are dry.
You can’t just put the phone under your skirt.”
have pretty panties on and they are beautiful, LOOK!”
Mrs. Ann: “No Maggie, you have to tell her about it. She can’t see.”
Me (finally): I am so proud of you for keeping them dry that is so great…”
Maggie interrupts: “You will be here in 3 minutes with my treat, ok.”
Me: “I won’t be there in 3 minutes but after you take your nap I will be home.”
Maggie: “Mama…I’m not taking a nap today.”
Me: “Well…”
Maggie: “Mrs. Ann, my mama says I don’t have to have a nap today, ok”
Mrs. Ann picks up the phone.
Me: “No…I didn’t really get to tell her anything.”
Mrs. Ann: “Maggie, your Mama did not tell you that you didn’t have to take a nap today.”
way. I will call again tomorrow, but tonight, I think we will work on
our phone conversation skills.
