Gem of the Day

As I was making Joey's birthday cake, I got a call from Grandma Bertha.  She asked if we had been trying to get a hold of her because her phone had been ringing and she could hear kids voices and the piano, but nobody talking.  She thought it must be us, because she heard Joey say, "It's my birthday!"  I told her it must be the baby.  Sometimes he gets the phone and calls people.  He must have done it four times!  So I had the kids gather up all the phones to make sure it didn't happen again.  She called back to say it happened again!  We figured it must be somebody else, since all of our phones were under control.  Then Andrew noticed that Daddy's cell phone kept lighting up and sayind "Grandma Bertha".  We couldn't figure it out, because nobody was touching it.  Then Ben came up the stairs, and I asked him if the cell phone had been in his pocket.  He said it hadn't, but his Blue Tooth was!  He had been bending down to paint, and the button had called Grandma eight times!  I called Grandma Bertha to explain, and she said she thought she had heard Ben's voice!  Glad we got that one figured out.
