He's screening my calls

Friday afternoon, while I was working at my desk and Campbell was coloring on at the kitchen table, the phone rang. I glanced at the handset on my desk and saw that it was a sales call, so I didn't answer. Campbell, however, grabbed the phone on the kitchen table and answered. I heard him yelling into the phone, "Hewwo! Hewwo! I want to talk to you!" at the top of his lungs.

I think the caller had already hung up, but if he hadn't, he sure got an earful of an enthusiastic three-year-old. Campbell was disappointed that no one talked back when he answered the phone.

Next time a salesperson calls, I'll make Campbell's day by letting him answer. He can be my very own secretary.
