Ring Ring... Not


Peeking her head around the corner to look into the living room where I sat, Keilani mischievously suggested, "Hey, Mom!! Let's do a skit, kay?"

Curious, I replied, "Sure!"

Keilani, full of excitement, exclaimed, "Yay!!" Then she plopped down on the floor and said, "Okay. I'm going to call you and then you answer. Got it?"

I responded with a firm, "Got it!"

Then all of the sudden Keilani started singing some song. I figured it was just part of the skit so I patiently waited.

With a bit of frustration in her voice, Keilani expressed, "Mom... pick up the phone!"

That's when it hit me... her song was the ringer! How old of me to think that she would imitate a phone call by saying ring ring...

Keilani is beautiful and I would have been waiting for the old, ancient "ring", too! LOL Silly me! Especially after a few us spent some time listening to all of the hilarious ringtones they had downloaded on their phones!
