Silent Treatment

Undoubtedly, you are well aware that the distractions and interruptions in my life are constant and varied.  As a result, I frequently miss entire conversations despite my seeming participation.  For example, my wife just told me this story which certainly answers a couple of questions I had about the family reunion.

At the reunion this summer, the boys shanghaied my mother-in-law's phone.  They set one of the alarms.  She was up every night at midnight hunting the house over because she thought is was the fire alarm.

On a recent trip to Pullman, the boys hijacked their grandmother's phone, again.  They silenced the ringer and, for more than a month, she couldn't figure out why people were leaving messages but not calling.
