"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Do they not have a second extension? That's how we do it in my family...

oh, no, she'd have to admit that she wants to eavesdrop then. What happens is that you call, she answers the phone. Chat with her for a few minutes and say "hey, I need to talk to Dad" then she says "oh, I'll just put you on speaker" There's no reason for her to pick up an extension, because you're not talking to her. It's the same reason that she started picking up his cell phone if she saw that it was me or my brother. V. irritating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I speakerphone all the time at home, and make no apologies for it. I want my hands free, so I only buy the cordlesses that can do speakerphone with the handsets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll make you pick up the phone, ita. Unless your speakerphone is REALLY GOOD.

No, you'll ask me to pick up the phone. We'll see where it goes from there.

In the past 5 or 6 years, only my sister's asked, just once, and she didn't get her way.

If you refuse to talk to me on speakerphone, call me on my cell. Which I'll answer if I hear it.

What is even happening?

Dh put me on the speaker phone at work. Once.

exactly. sometimes I practically get a sprain from the eyerolling with my mom.

Heh.

I only do it at work if I'm extremely busy, but I have to talk to you, or I don't really want to talk to you, and I'm hoping that being on speakerphone will annoy you enough to keep our conversation short.

Hmmph. I like a lot of the Elsewares stuff, but I can make this for you for half the price, if you want.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I got a phone system that has hands-free hand sets for our house. It's come in right handy--even if all I do is change diapers while on the phone with my sister.

Hmph.

You have my eyes and my mouth. Why must you take my hands as well?

Ugh. I have to write a kinda difficult e-mail that is firm but doesn't reveal my intense irritation.
