i love when my preschoolers pretend to be talking on the phone bc if u leave them to their own devices and observe they just start saying things they’ve heard adults say into the phone like “hello i have an appointment, i’d like some rice”
When my sister was three, my Dad worked from home a lot. He runs his own business and deals a lot with customers and with red tape and other things.
Naturally, my sister had picked up a lot of these phrases. And as a result she could fake her way pretty well through an adult phone conversation.
This became relevant when telemarketers called the business line one day. My dad told the guy “Let me turn you over to my assistant” and promptly handed the phone to my three year old sister.
Mind, I don’t actually recall any of the dialogue. I do remember my sister keeping the guy on the phone for a good couple of minutes, asking him questions related to payment and things. Finally, the guy wised up. I don’t remember what my sister said, but I do remember the last lines-
“Ma’am, how old are you?”
“Three” c:
