He's on the phone again....?

This time he's taking messages! I couldn't believe it when my child, came running out after lunch today as I mowed the lawn, to inform me that my sister had called. With impending thunderstorms this afternoon I decided to cut the grass quickly today while they played video games inside. (and yes Mother, I went inside three times to check on them, they were fine!) But after I had been out there for about twenty minutes, Gage came running outside, like the house was on fire. I cut the lawnmower off to find out he was just relaying a PHONE message he'd taken moments earlier. I finished cutting grass wondering if the message was correct. Apparently I was to call her back at two clock...which I did. Indeed she had called and she repeated their conversation and he told her (via speaker phone) that I was cutting the grass and maybe I'd be done by two...which is funny because she phoned at 11:30 and although we have a lot of yard being in the country, we don't have that much!!At least not that we cut w/a lawnmower, the rest is cut w/the tractor...(and I don't do tractors). She went on to tell me what a long conversation they had. He told her all about the new toy truck he'd bought, he described how he was taking care of Brook since I was outside...I was very surprised since I'm usually there to help with these things. Just goes to show, they need to try things on their own. I would have assumed he couldn't do that, but HE SHOWED ME! Good listening practice, get those guys to see if they can repeat things via telephone, or walkie talkie even!
