Wanna pester me for money, get past my 6yr old first

OMG I am so embarrassed but so pleased with my ds at the same time.

He's just started answering the phone, it's his new "trick" and he runs to get there first every time it rings. Today I was upstairs when the phone rang and he was down stairs, so he answered. I heard him say hello, who is it. (I've tried to teach him not to ask who is it but he's nosey and hasn't got the idea of privacy yet lol) and then after a pause, "yeah but who is it." I was on my way down stairs to get the phone off him when he said "I'm not giving mam the phone till you tell me who is it" by the time I got downstairs the caller had put the phone down.

I Check 1471 and it was bloody GE money AGAIN :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: They will think I have him trained to screen my calls. :o
