Great Moments in Phone Talk

Catching Up...

Recently, Andrea went out of town for the weekend, leaving Fiona alone with her father. For support, or at least just so I could have somebody around if I needed to take a shower or use a bathroom without worrying that the toddler was going to suddenly figure out how to turn on the gas, Daddy and daughter headed up to Grandma and Grandpa's new place in the Berkshires. Fiona loves being up in the Berkshires with her grandparents, in part because the porch door allows her to go in and out without having to go through the usual rigamarole of putting on shoes, climbing down the stairs, navigating the outside steps, etc. Or, at least, we thought she loved the experience, until Andrea called on Saturday evening and spoke to Fiona:

Andrea: Hi, Fiona!
Fiona: Hi.
Andrea: I miss you.
Fiona: It's Mommy!
Andrea: Are you having fun with Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa?
Fiona (in perfect toddler voice): No.
