the telemarketer

Today I got to laugh my ass off...hard.

My mom came over for dinner tonight. Alexa was done but the rest of us were still eating when the phone began to ring. Our plan was to ignore it especially since it was an out of state number.

Alexa had other plans however. She went ahead and answered it since the cordless was within her reach. As we are telling her to hang up (after saying don't answer it which was ignored) she begins talking to the person on the other end.

A little voice says "hello?". A man says "hello, is this Mr. Barstow?". "No" the little voice says back, "he, mommy, and Nokomi are eating supper right now". She goes on to tell him her name and what we were having for dinner.

She closes the conversation with "goodbye, I love you".

Yes...my 4 y/o told the telemarketer that she loved him. Not sure what his response was but we were laughing hard! She couldn't figure out what was so funny.

Then she tells us to cut the shit. While we should have been scolding her for using that language we couldn't help ourselves and laughed harder. Mom told her that the next time she should tell the telemarketer to cut the shit instead professing her love.

Note to self...move phone out of reach of 4 y/o....
