Phone calls from my grand-daughter

(1/4) > >>

Wowbagger:
I've just had my first properly interactive telephone conversation with my grand-daughter, who is full of cold and will be 18 months old on Tuesday next week.

It involved me singing Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes with her in which, I'm reliably informed, she carried out the actions at the appropriate moments, and, when I asked her if she'd like another song, she said "Yes." I then asked if we should sing "Twinkle twinkle" and she said, being bunged up, "Twickle". I heard her mum, misunderstanding, saying "Do want a tickle?", and we then sang "Twinkle twinkle little star." At the end, I said, "May I speak to mummy again?" and she called "Bubby!" and that was that.

Very gratifying!

Arch:
Gosh, she's clever! My conversations with Oli (4) still tend to be him shouting something down the phone and then walking off before I reply.

Maybe he's got it right, I do go on sometimes....

Oscar's dad:
Blimey!  That's a better response than you'd get from the mid-Essex Wednesday pub ride crowd!

That's only because so few know the words to "lonesome pine."  ;D

When Little Cudzo was that age and even quite a bit older he found phones a bit weird - it's odd to hear a familiar voice but not see the person. They can't be in that little black box can they? And can they see me, if I'm talking to them? I guess it's a common misconception...

When one of my nephews was about 2, his father was working away somewhere (Belgium I think) and happened to phone while he was in the bath. So his mum takes the cordless phone into the bathroom so he could talk to his dad. "Look, Daddy, I'm in the bath," and to prove it he dunks the phone into the water. End of all conversations on that phone!
