Call Waiting
My wife was on an afternoon shift from 2-11 pm which left me looking after our girls (both under 5). I had just set them down to dinner when the phone rang & his name was something with about 12 syllables and rather foreign sounding...... I asked him to wait & I would get right back. I proceded to feed the girls & asked him to wait a little further.
I ran their bath and let them go through their pre-bath routine before I returned to the phone & thanked him for his patience.
I bathed the girls and got them ready for bed. By this stage I thought he might have hung up but no..... I apologised and again thanked him for his patience. To be honest I was really impressed that he had lasted this long.
I then read the girls a story put them to bed before returning to the phone and politely saying that I wasn't interested but I did admire his patience before hanging up.
That was over three months ago & I haven't one ring back since.
