You know how you call a mom with young children, and 3/4 of the conversation is between the mom and her capuchin monkeys on crack kids?
Far as I'm concerned, this is one of the highlights of calling my sister, who has three capuchin monkeys on crack such spawn.
Some interesting things I've heard include:
"No, Natalie, you cannot have a penis for your birthday."
"Do not feed the baby to the dog."
"P-O-O-P, Sam, you spell "poop" P-O-O-P."
"Yes, you still have to go to school if aliens abduct your teacher."
"It is NOT cat snot, we don't have a cat. It's baby snot."
"Phoebe, how did this get in your diaper?"
"Stop eating the tinsel off the tree right NOW."
and my favorite...
"Do you not see this knife in my hand?"
(blatantly frogged from inspired by Natalie...and because my sister is a fountain of funny I don't hesitate to pimp out for the sake of a laugh want to waste.)
I've started grabbing a knife along with the phone too. It helps.
