Sam Phones Home

First of all, I must assure everyone that Sam recovered from yesterday's trauma quite nicely. I painted a horrible picture (it was horrible) and didn't include a happy ending. Many people have voiced their concern for his well-being. Sam is more than fine - I would venture a guess that he'd like to go to the playland again today.

Sam is obsessed with phones. In a pinch, he walks around with a remote pressed to the side of his face, chatting away.

I didn't realize how phone-savvy he was until this morning. Sam was talking to Eric on my cell phone while I supervised, making sure he didn't hang up on him or throw the phone in the toilet. The phone is loud enough for me to hear Eric talking.

I got a call on the house phone and ran to answer it. I talked for a minute or two, and then went back to Sam. He was still holding the phone to his ear, and I heard Eric say, "Sam, did you just call me back?" Sam said, "I did!"

Sure enough, as soon as my back was turned Sam closed the phone, ending the call. That is nothing new. He has hung up on most of the people I know. My surprise lies in the fact that he then opened the phone and managed to call Eric back.

I am more than a little afraid of him.
