Puts phone down & asks me "How do I politely end a conversation? I don't want to talk to her right now?" I had her put phone back to ear...

and called out, "Meghan, get off the phone you need to shower!" Totally made my kid's day. LOL

very cute

Dear Abby always said kids want parents to say no. They are too young for some responsibilities and social skills. VERY sweet!

I read an old etiquette book once that said the correct way to end a phone call was to say, "I have to stop now."

That is too cute!

chalk one up for the "good mom" category. Remind her when she's 13 that you were a good mom, once.

When our family is talking our clue is "I'm done talking now, have a good night!"

I like it!
