When do your Kids call?
« on: February 08, 2008, 09:28:09 AM »
Okay I'm a old guy. If my kids don't call any other time of the year they call at tax time. This, of course, feeds my daddy ego and my accounting ego. Just got a call from my older daughter asking about Hobby vs Business in the eyes of the IRS. Wow, what a question!

I told them when they were young that if they called me because they were in jail they just wasted a dime.

When my kids call:



"Hi Mom...
"Yes, I know what time it is. There's still a few minutes before we're supposed to be home...
"No, it's going to take us longer than 5 minutes to get there. That's why I'm calling...
"No, Caleb fell, he's hurt...
"No, not that bad. He just took a spill on his bike. Yeah, it ripped his jeans open and he's cut & bleeding just a little bit on the knee...
"No, we don't need a pick up. He's fine. I just wanted to tell you we'll be a few minutes late because we're going to walk home instead of ride the bikes...
"Okay Mom, bye."

*click*

"Okay, she bought it. We've got at least 15 minutes more to play before she calls to find out where we're at.  Hurry up & rip those jeans."

I get calls from my 6 year old at all times of the day....whenever he can get his hands on my wife's cell phone.

He figured out how to text mesaages a few weeks ago...by himself.  I don't know why but I always get one word...Ben.  Noone is called Ben in our family, he has no friends named Ben...but Ben it is.  I usually just text back...Sam (his name).

My sister tried to teach our father how to text messages but he gave up after a few hours.

Your wife has a better sense of humor than you do Curvy...

My kids call me just to say...

"Dad, Curval is online again!"

:D

I was thinking that the "BEN" he referred to was one of the nicknames that Thing 2 gave himself from the Cat in the Hat movie. :)
