Dean, an electronics salesman, makes a sales call and a little kid answers the phone.
Dean: Hello, little fellow. Can I speak to your mother?
Little kid : She is not at home.
Dean: Well, is anyone else at home?
Little kid: Ya, my sis.
Dean: Okay. May I speak to her?
Little kid: All right.
There was a long silence. Then:
Little kid: Hello?
Dean: Oh, it’s you again. I thought you were going to call your sister.
Little kid: I tried. The trouble is, I can’t get her out of the playpen.
