Do not disturb.
I'm on the phone with a good friend this evening, trying to fit a few minutes of catch up in between dinner, bath and bedtime, when I am spotted by my four-year old, the one who arrived on the planet equipped with a GPS radar on my whereabouts, not unlike her one year old brother.
I continue to talk while she too, continues to talk - to me. I ask for a few minutes to finish my conversation. No dice. Just a couple minutes, Reese. Go hang out with Dad and brother who are playing "Coo Coo" (an entirely amusing decidedly Murray version of Hide and Go Seek that is too complicated/embarrassing to go into here.) Not gonna happen. "Honey, I could really use some privacy." Reese, looking almost convinced, then righteous: "Then Mom, you should go in the bathroom." Yes, I should. In fact, should you call me in the future, please direct your calls to my private line. Make that my bathroom line. After all, if I can't go to the bathroom in peace, perhaps at least I can make a few phone calls. 2 comments from 2 users

That's funny! My husband told me that when he was that age and his mom was on the phone, you'd better stay out of "spoon whacking distance." Yup, if you bugged her, she'd grab a wooden spoon and give you a "do not disturb" smack. Oh what would Dr. Spock say to that! My sympathies. It never gets better I hate to tell you. Thank goodness for e-mail!

I have been known to run into my bedroom and into the walk-in closet to make a phone call with no back ground noise. The clothing makes a great sound barrier. LOL!
