OT: How to you get off the phone?

I ALWAYS use one of two things...the kids or the hubby.

I will usually say what is that in your hand? I'm sorry I'm going to have to call you back my child has gotten into something. I'll talk to you later though....

, you don't see it? I put it right there. Oh lawd...I'm going to have to call you back this man is blind as a bat I tell ya if it were a snake it would have bitten him. I'll talk to you later though....

jamille...maybe you can say "oh no my water broke...gotta go " lol.... sorry i couldnt resist...

back to the regular scheduled program...

mack i just hang up when im done talking...when they call back i dont answer...then later i say the phone died lol.or i just keep saying ok or alright after everything they say..and then PEACE

I can usually end a conversation, except for when I'm talking to one very long-time friend who talks so much you can't even get an "um" in.  So, I usually have to do two things:

1 - just stop responding.  Don't give an "um," "uh huh," or anything.  For most people, they usually get the hint, but might get mad at you for not listening (oh, well)!

2 - With my friend, I just pick up my another phone and call myself.  I usually have to shout to interrupt my friend to let her know I have to take this other call.  Sometimes she still goes on and on, so I have to urgently say, "gotta go!"

I swear,  I think the child is sick!
