telephone

Yesterday I had Simon on my lap while I was talking to my dad on the phone. At one point, my dad had just asked me a question when Simon let out what sounded like a very assertive "yeah!". Dad was rather confused, as he thought it was me speaking, but it hadn't been a yes-no question and I'm not usually quite so forceful! I explained, and Dad asked whether Simon had used the phone yet. He hadn't, so I put the phone next to his ear, and Dad said, "Hello, Simon, it's your grandad here!" Simon made one of his snuffly-snorty sounds, which can hardly be considered much of an answer. I guess he'll get the hang of telephones a bit later on in life!
