Can You Hear Me Now?
No, it’s not about that.
It’s about five year old boys and walkie talkies.
Hilarity.
Boog received a pair of walkies for his birthday. So excited was he that he threw me one and ran off.
“Mom can you hear me?” He yelled from the bedroom.
Pressing my button, I instructed him to “push the button and then talk.”
He squawked it and again yelled, “Mom, can you hear me?”
“You have to HOLD the button down.”
I heard him open his channel but he didn’t say anything.
“Now say something.” I yelled back to him.
He released his button and yelled back something to me.
“Press the button, hold it down, and talk, then let go of the button.”
He brought me his walkie, said “These aren’t any fun,” and walked away.

I love this story. We must have been through about 30 sets of walkie talkies in my childrens’ lifetime and it always ends the same.
