funny phone call

I had a great Christmas Eve.  My son-in-law was here and he cooked up a storm.  Sons and I went off to sing Christmas carols with my friend D, and when we got home dinner was ready.

Actually,  L showed up to sing carols late... suspicious behavior from this child. Seems he went out to hang out with a girl !!!!  More on this development later.  We still don't know if she survived the shock of having to talk to Papa on the phone.  She called and we heard this dialogue:
Papa:  "What?  Who is this??"  (he calls daughter V to the phone and hands it to her.)
V:  "Hello?" 
L: (trying to grab phone, saying to papa)  "I think someone is trying to call me."
Papa:  (grouchily to L) "Let her talk."
V:  (walks off so that she can hear , trying to talk to whoever is on the phone and thinking it's for her.  Then she comes back quickly and hands the phone to L.  It was for him all the time.)

Apparently the problem is that Papa can't get used to the fact that
people don't identify themselves when they
make phone calls nowadays.  So, L talked
with this girl several times and finally went
off to his
mysterious rendevouz...)


I guess the phone call wasn't so funny -
but we got such a kick out of teasing papa about
it over Christmas Eve dinner.  Check it
out: paella, ceviche, and the white blob
in corner is the only thing I contributed:
homemade bread.
