Why I don't talk on the phone...

This is me having a pleasant telephone conversation...in my dreams! Ha! As handy as the telephone is, in my real world, email and instant messenger is so much easier! See, it's like Pavlov's dog: when mom picks up the phone, the kids go nuts! But, if I am having a conversation with someone on the computer, I can also be doing laundry, making dinner, paying bills, breaking up a fight...at the same time! Well, my sister-in-law (bless her heart), whom I usually only communicate with via instant messenger, called me today because she was bored. We actually talked for quite a while and, despite the noise and interruptions, had a lovely conversation. But, then it came to an abrupt end with: "I have to go! Gavin's bleeding!" (Not to worry...Trevor just kicked him in the face. On accident, I'm sure! ; )

I hear ya sister! :)
I am NOT a phone person either but every now and then, a good phone conversation and the sound of a human voice is refreshing! :)

I can relate and I only have one girl! She just knows that my full attention is not on her and she starts to get into things. So my conversation is broken anyway. Thank goodness for our computers!!!
