Does anyone else really, really HATE to answer the phone? (Unless it's BB--I answer her calls.)
I wish people would just email me or write me a nice long letter or send a singing telegram or something. With the first two options, my bath never gets interrupted.
Classic Ann Tyler. Remember the book (and later, movie) Accidental Tourist? They all sit around the table and the phone rings and each of the siblings wonders who on earth it could be calling them, "since everyone knows we don't answer the phone."

...after that little confession, I don't think anyone around here will be jumping up to call you real soon!




...can we go to college with you?
