How to get rid of those pesky telemarketers...

Or any other annoying telephone calls!

So, we get pesky bill collector calls on a daily basis. They're not for us (don't ask) and they annoy the hell out of us.

Let me just say, first of all, I totally empathize with the stress that broke people have who get hounded by these people. They DO NOT GIVE UP and they don't care if you've lost your job or are on your deathbed dying of cancer. They're ruthless.

Anywho...we've decided to try a different tactic now. Before we'd say, "No, so-and-so isn't here. Thanks, bye!" But that didn't work.

Enter Collin.

After we discovered that he likes talking on the phone and he knows how to, we just give him the phone when an unknown number comes up.

Today, I laughed so hard I almost cried.

Here is a transcript of the conversation:

Collin: "Heh-woh?"

Telemarketer: "Hello. Is so-and-so there?"

Collin: "Hi!"

Telemarketer: "Is your mommy around?"

Collin: "(Senseless gibberish)...blah, blah, blah." <---- this went on for about two minutes until the phone went dead.

HILARIOUS!

I need to get this on video.
