No, not an impassioned plea for comments (although comments are always very welcome, hint hint) but Li’l Bhaji’s latest party trick.
Ages ago, we gave the boys one of our old mobile phones as a toy – far more satisfying for a child to play with the “real thing” than a multi-coloured plastic lump that looks nothing like Mummy’s or Daddy’s mobiles.
Li’l Bhaji has become fascinated with the concept of a telephone, crawling up onto my lap if the landline rings shouting “‘LO, NANA!” at the poor unsuspecting caller (usually Akra’s boss – I’m sure that goes down well). Today, however, he’s discovered the aforementioned old mobile and has begun a peculiar ritual.
He starts off sat down in the study, purposefully presses a couple of buttons on the phone and lifts it to his ear. “‘lo? ‘lo?”. He then gets up, moving to the window at the front of the house, still saying “‘lo? ‘lo?” then ends up in the hallway by the front door. He then presses a few more buttons with a very serious face and comes back to us looking smug and self-satisfied.
Can you tell his father has problems with mobile reception in our house?!!

Heh.
I reckon you should charge the battery and put a sim card in. Just to see what happens… ;)

Hi, this isn’t srictly to do with this comment, but I thought it might interest you Pewari. I’ve just found out, via a forum I’m on, that if you type gabbly.com in front of the url of any site you are visiting, it brings up a chat box which lets you chat to anyone else who is also visiting the page. e.g. http://gabbly.com/pewari.may.be
Have you heard of this? Weird or what?

No, what you think he is saying is ‘lo but really it is…
“Hi, is that Toys R Us? Yes, I’d like to place an order please.”

Oh that looks interesting, valb – thanks for the heads up. Haven\’t heard of that before!
paula: *laugh* … you\’re probably spot on there.
Dom: no way! Last time I let Akra Jr near a mobile charged with a sim card, he ended up dialling 999…
