You know the instructions on fireworks that say, “Place on ground, light fuse, move away”? Emelyn was doing something along those lines earlier today with the answering machine.
She’s figured out that she can mash the buttons on our phone so that, with some luck, it will play back whatever old messages are hanging around. She’s scared of how loud the speaker is (it’s loud) so she generally makes a run for it the moment the phone starts its playback routine. Then she’ll stand back and admire her handiwork.
Anyhow, she was awfully pleased to hear Jami on the machine today. Kept playing a message from Jami again and again, saying, “Auntie! Auntie!”. She probably did it four or five times in a row — we caught a few of ‘em on video.
