A Different Kind of String Telephone

Smiley has yet to really talk on the phone, to the great disappointment of his grandmother and great-grandmother.

He talks a lot as he plays, so they can hear that on the phone. But once we put a phone to his hear he becomes quiet.

When on the phone normally use an earpiece, so the relative we are talking to can hear Smiley in the background. This led to a funny incident on Monday. Smiley had brought his toy telephone over to mommy so she could pretend to talk on the phone. When she tired of talking into the red plastic headset, he put the pull-string up to her ear, pretending it was an earpiece on a wire.
