"Hello...Police?"

Jackson & RJ are stalkers-their targets being Matthew & Allison non-stop to play their Nintendo DS games. Those poor kids can't get five minutes without one of my kids up their rear asking to play. Surprisingly, they actually can play and I'm afraid that may be on their lists to Santa this year, along with a Wii. Matthew and Allison are so patient with them, but tonite I could see the patience wearing a bit thin. Apparently, there is some sort of game that requires a lot of time in one session, and they were completely involved and if they stopped to let the boys play, they would have lost their scores or something (can you tell how UP on modern technology I am?) Obviously, J&RJ didn't want to hear that and started to show signs of a tantrum. So I intervened and finally coaxed them to go find something else to do and they relented. A little while later, from the other room, I hear RJ on what sounded like a phonecall. This is what was said: "Hello...police? Yes, this is RJ BOOK (Burke, but he pronounces it BOOK). Matthew and Allison won't share their games. Can you come get them? Ok, thanks. Bye." Thank God he was calling from his Nemo phone and not my cell...

I just love these stories! I am excited to see new stories! And very thankful for all of you that he used his Nemo phone! You better keep an eye on your cell and home phones! I talked to him 3 times this morning when I called my mom! He kept saying bye then a few minutes later he would say he wasn't finished talking to Aunt Marg!

Love you guys,
Marguerite
