Best Phone Call

So, I was secretary at work today and I am so glad I got to take this call...

AW:NICU this is Abbe how may I help you?
Baby's Mom: Hey girl (say with that gi-rul in your head)
AW:Hey?
B's M: This is Ms. E. Do you remember me? I am baby's mom! (she said the name)
AW: Oh yes. How are (I was going to say you, but mom had moved on)
B's M: She wants to say hi, hold on.....
B's M:(from a distance) say hi, say hi
Baby Girl: Hi!
B's M: Did you hear? She said hi! Can you believe it? She can walk, too. One day when it is not so cold we are going to come see y'all.
AW: That would be great I am glad she is doing so well.
B's M: Uh huh she is doing great girl (say it that way) there ain't nothing wrong with her! Bye!

What a hilarious phone call. Made my secretary day exciting. This was a sweet, sweet but not the quickest mom. It was too funny to hear her so excited about her daughter and still wanting us to be updated a year later. I bet she worked so hard practicing before "they" called. We are all glad to know she is loving her baby so well, just like we all hoped she would.

Classic! I think it was funny to me too that I was only hearing your half of the phone call before the caller was revealed. So funny!! Glad you got to take that call!
