Please stop making me talk to your kids on the telephone.
They can't hold a decent conversation.

Uncle Smurf: Hi Smurf Niece. How are you?

Smurf Niece: We went to Tescos today!

Uncle Smurf: Did you? What did you buy?

Smurf Niece: We went to Tescos today!

Uncle Smurf: And what did you do there?

Smurf Niece: We went to Tescos today!

ad infinitum

She's only two. It gets worse when it's my one year old nephew. It's just absolute gibberish and I can hear the baby saliva dribbling in to the mouthpiece of the phone.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing them (as long as there is no poo involved), but I really don't want to speak to them on the phone.

And as someone mentioned previously, that whole parent thing. "Oh Smurf Nephew moved straight from baby milk to cows milk the other day". So?! I thought that was normal? "And they've stopped wearing nappies" I don't care!

Give me cats any day.
