The phone rings and Leo answers.  It’s for Sunny.  A woman from the local church youth program is calling to invite Sunny to a weekend activity.  I know this because I saw the caller ID.  I would probably have not answered.  I don’t like talking to people on the phone very much.

I hear Leo say, “Hello?..  Yes, yes you can.  In fact, she is right here.”  He waves the phone in Sunny’s general direction, says it’s for her and repeats the name he read off the caller ID.

Sunny is busy playing some hand held electronic thingy.  She answers him impatiently, “Hold on!”

Leo puts the phone back to his ear and taking on an extremely rigid robotic tone says, “Hold.  On.  Dee dee do wah do dee dee do dee do….”  He is making hold music with his mouth.  Into the phone.  With the church lady on the other end.

Sunny grabs the phone and begins speaking as the rest of the room dies laughing.  Leo is surprised that we find him funny.  “What?”, he says, “I always like to hear music while I’m waiting.”

 

“I’m OK, it’s just pain!” -Leo, age 10
