Heddo?

The other day I called home because I was going to be working late. No one picked up, but a few minutes later I got a call from Nai's cell phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Heddo?" It was Luke. Nai must have handed him the phone. Luke is learning to talk; Nai has been trying to get Luke to talk to me on the phone whenever I call. When he's on the phone he says "Heddo?" a lot, since that's one of the only words he knows.

"Hi Luke."

"Dad dad." Luke also always thinks that I'm the one on the phone. He will say "Dad" and "Heddo?" no matter what.

After a few more minutes of saying "Heddo?" back and forth, I finally told him, "Okay, give the phone to Mommy now." Silence. "Hello?"

"Heddo?"

"Give the phone to Mommy."

I hear some rustling on the other end, and then Nai's sleepy, tired voice. "Luke? Who are you talking to on the phone?"

Nai was sleeping. Luke was the one who called me back, and he gave the phone to Nai afterward.
