BLEPHAROSPASMODIC

I have discovered an awesome new weapon against telemarketers - Lily. The past 3 calls I have handed over to Lily as soon as they start their spiel, occasionally taking back the phone and chiming in to keep it going as long as possible. I try to coach lily along. This last call, I was amazed. Whatever-her-name-was from some company interested in reducing our mortgage held on for nearly 3-4 minutes. From what I could hear, the conversation went something like this:

Woman: Hi, this is so-and-so from such-and-such lending….
Lily: Hi Mommy!!!
Woman: Hello?
Lily: I eat mac-anonis, hot dog, milk!
Woman: ???
Lily: I go poop (on the) potty!
Woman: Oh really? Sir, are you still there?
Me: Yes, I’m sorry.. my daughter took the phone.. please continue.
Woman: I’m interested in lowering your interest ra……
Lily: WHAT???
Woman: Hello, sir?
Lily: Mommy??
Me: I’m sorry again…
Woman: She sounds cute. We show that your current…
Lily: I play (with) my toys in (the) backyard. It not dark yet!
Woman: ???
Lily: Come play (with) me! Come on!
Woman: Sir, are you still there?
Lily: My daddy right here! Talka me!
Woman: Can I talk to your daddy?
Lily: My daddy, um, my daddy poop (on the) potty too!!
Me: Lily! don’t tell the woman I’m in the bathroom
Lily: What???
Woman: Sir, is this a bad time
Me: No, not at all - I can wipe and talk
Woman: I’m sorry, is this a joke?
Lily: [singing] twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder way up high
Woman: ???
Lily: I want some can-nee (candy)

I believe it was at this point that the line went dead.
