Last night the phone rang and neither Tina or I recognized the name that came up on caller ID. I picked it up and a little voice asked if Kai was there. I took a beat, then said, "yes, who is this?"
"Elijah," the little voice said.
Another beat on my side, then I recognized the name as belonging to one of Kai's classmates from his preschool class. So I asked him to wait a moment, and told Kai he had a telephone call. He looked almost as confused as me for a moment then took the call and handled it like an old pro. Tina and I were just beside ourselves as we listened in on one side of their conversation. They talked about birthdays, and Spiderman, and all kinds of things. And at one point Kai stopped and looked at us and said very seriously, "Don't interrupt me when I'm on the phone!"
