Jolee A-Chattering (Spring 1999)

Jolee, normally very verbose on the phone when no one is on the other
line, and silent once someone is, has overcome this inconsistency by
discovering the bedroom phone (which now remains unplugged). I actually
had a phone conversation with her yesterday when I was at work. The key
is to be on the cordless phone at the same time so she can't hang up on
you. Next time you give us a call, we'll check it out. . . .the funny
part is that she'll have a conversation with you at a normal tone, then
whisper "bye" when she is done.

NOTE: THIS E-MAIL DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A GUARANTEE THAT JOLEE WILL HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH YOU WHEN YOU CALL. IN THE EVENT THAT SHE IS NOT HOME
OR ASLEEP, A CONVERSATION WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE. IF SHE IS HOME AND
DOESN'T FEEL LIKE TALKING ON THE PHONE (A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY), HER
PARENTS ARE ABSOLVED OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DAUGHTER'S ACTIONS
(OR INACTION, AS THE CASE MAY BE). NO GUILT, PLEASE.
