Kids and the telephone

[AnyaKimlin]

What are some of the things children have disturbed you on the phone? I wrote a poem about one day that was a nightmare but I can't find it.

Where's my homework, can I have a snack, can I download an app, my sister hit me...

Mostly utterly trivial stuff that can wait a moment, but because I'm on the phone, has to be NOW!

What are my children doing at your house, Juliana? (Besides disturbing you on the phone....)

(good to know mine aren't the only ones inevitably attracted to their mother on the phone!)

I work from home and have a lifetime behind me of standing at the door, holding it closed, whilst professionally going, 'Of course, I believe the relative merits of....'

Accidents in the street of the someone's fallen off their bike variety, the cat's caught a mouse, the dog's eating the cat's food (very common that one), 'can I have the ipad?', can I go out tomorrow, where's my *insert useless thing*, fights, foods (though now Mum+working + phone = fridge raid), etc etc.

(My house is chaos, TDZ. How I manage to produce anything in the middle of it is a mystery. )

Fab thanks you I needed reminding. My lot have improved recently but I have had times where I have been locked in the downstairs toilet dealing with a crisis because the boys are fighting.
