Funny Call(s)

Yesterday I was driving home from soccer practice. My cell phone rings I answer thinking it was my sister. All I heard from the other end was some breathing, so after saying hello for a few times I hung up. A minute passes and the phone rings again and I answer thinking again that it was my sister.
Me: Hello....Hello.....Hello
Caller (niece B): Hi, Kara.
Me: Hi B. What are you doing?
B: I am riding my bike with one hand.
Me: While you are on the phone?
B: Ya, I can ride with no hands and talk on the phone!
Me: Do you have a helmet on?
B: (laughing) no, I am in the house.
Me: Oh, that is good.
B: Is Arie there?
Me: No, She is at home. I can have her call you when I get home.
B: Okay, Do you want to talk to T (little brother)?
Me: Sure
B: My mom says "No".
Me: Ok, I will have Arie call you when I get home.


On to the next call.....about 30 minutes later. Phone rings, I answer and it's B again. She says "Kara you told me that you have Arie me and she didn't call me!" I tell "B" let me get her. I give the phone to Arie and they visit for a bit. I was worried that B is calling to say thank you for some clothes that I sent down. (Arie is a hoarder and doesn't get rid of anything, unless her mother sneaks it out of the house.) But it turns out that "B" has just called to visit with Arie, wanting to play and go to the mall with her. The call ends. Another few minutes go by, the phone rings again. I answer and it is "B" again.
"B": Hi Kara I just called to say that I miss Arie really bad. (In a really sad voice.)
Call is then interrupted by parent taking away the phone from her, and apologizing to me and promising to hide the phone better. The parent tells me that (B)know how to look up my number to call. I thought the calls were just great!
