The telephone rings.

Hello?

What do you mean, who am I? Who are you? You don't call me and ask me to identify myself! What's wrong with you?

What did you say?! DONT ASK ME WHO I AM! I demand common courtesy! How dare you call me and demand I identify myself! Identify yourself! Listen...I...need...common courtesy...and respect...when someone calls me. You called me! You need something! Not me! Now, who are you and what do you want?!

You're not in the mood any more!? You're upset now?! YOU CALLED ME!!!!

Don't know, didn't ask. Sounds like a pushy yet sensitive telemarketer to me.

Mine calls each evening at her 10:00, my 9:00 pm. Evolved format works well (next hiatus or awkward moment will be the first)... for 5-10 minutes we swap family news, wellbeing issues and opinions on world affairs. Then, for a half hour or so, she reads a chapter or two from her current novel. Mutual critique, then customary nitey niters. Just an idea. P.S. Mom turned a graceful 90 last September. She's now 89...

Word to your Mother. Excellent work.

I do the same thing. I can't stand when someone calls and says, "Who is this?" WHO THE HELL ARE YOU???

Though midnight her time, I just chanced a call to read her your comment and describe your flag. She said, "What a nice man. Thank him. Can't believe I'm on the internet, so to speak, with people so far away."

I'm closer than you might think. Used to live in Boston, actually. 🙂 Right next to Fenway.

Throw in an enchanted piece of string and you're on.
