“Mom, You Don’t Know”

I picked up the phone:
“Hello”
On hearing my son’s voice I starting chatting with him. Meanwhile, Ricki started having conniptions. When I finished the conversation and hung up, Ricki sputtered:
“MOM, you don’t know how to talk on the phone! You say ‘Hello’ ‘This is Ricki’! “

At her school, at my request, they have started learning how to make formal phone calls, like to arrange a doctor’s appointment.
Ricki caught me not following the script…..

    I don't think she expected me to use her name. When she said the lines, she pretended (hand on ear) to be on the phone. She was simply stating how one talks....But I STILL wasn't following the formal "script" she had learned.
