[Phone ringing.]
Me: Hello? Izzy?
Izzy: DADDY! I CAN'T TALK TO YOU!
Me: Why?
Izzy: IT'S GONNA LIGHTNING!
Me: What do you mean?
Izzy: IT'S GONNA LIGHTNING AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SHOCKED!
Me: What do you mean? [forgetting that it's the summer] Have you been learning about lightning at school?
Izzy: Yes. [pause] BUT DADDY! I CAN'T TALK TO YOU!
Me: Is it still raining really hard there?
Izzy: IT'S GONNA LIGHTNING AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SHOCKED!
Me: Aren't you on a cordless phone though? I don't think it works the same way, baby.
Izzy: BUT DADDY!
Me: Okay, okay. I love you!
Izzy: I love you too. BUT IT'S GONNA LIGHTNING AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SHOCKED!
[End of call.]
