WHY WHY WHY do kids wait until you get on the phone to yell, scream, rant, fight, or want your attention? I sit here, for 3-4 hours every day, at my desk facing theirs, and for most of that time I'm completely available for anything they might need.
Unless I'm on the phone.
THEN they are supposed to work quietly and not bother me.
Today, while on the phone with customer service because of network problems (although thankfully not the nefarious Donella), the boys had at it. Yep, the whole screaming, fighting, one leg hits one nut all-out-brawl.
*Sigh*
I apologize to the poor rep, took care of the busted balls, doled out a little discipline, and reinforced the BE QUIET WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE rule.
UPDATE: It must be one of those days. The very next call (an insurance auditor!) got the requisite round of fighting over a pencil.
