Can You Hear Me Now?

Proof that my mother may need a Cricket phone:

Mama: "Did someone call me? I didn't hear it go off. Oh, I forgot I put it on "shake" so it wouldn't go off in church."

Hula: "Shake? Does it dance mother?"

Blank stare.

Hula: "Wait 'til I tell them at work I need to put my cell phone on "shake" so it doesn't go off in a meeting. Ha!"

Blank stare.

Mama: "Oh, somebody's calling again."

Hula: "Hey, maybe it's a booty call."

Blank stare.

Hula: Insert wigging of hips. "You know, a boo-TAY call."

Blank stare.

Hula: "Never mind."
