Uncle, Hello?

Any time Arabna sees a phone, she immediately picks it up, puts it to her ear, and says, "Hello?" (Pronounced, "Heyo?") She's definitely a girl 'cause she'll even hold the phone with her shoulder while she's doing something else and just keep talking. She's not even 2 yet.

A few weeks ago, Anowa and Arabna were on a bus on the way home. All of a sudden, Anowa heard Arabna say, "Uncle, heyo?" She bent down to check for her phone in her purse but it wasn't there. Then she looked at the man next to her and asked him for her phone back. He looked at her like she was crazy and said he didn't have it. Anowa explained to him that the baby said he had it, so he should give it back. He tried making fun of her for believing a little kid instead of him, but then someone offered to call her phone for her. It rang. In his pants. He had hidden it, not in his pocket, but in the cuff of his pant leg, so nobody would have found it if it didn't ring. He of course was forced to give it back. When he handed it to Anowa, Arabna put out her hand like she always does (like "talk to the hand") and said, "Uncle shame!" Everyone started laughing at him, telling him "shame!" and making fun of him for getting caught by a baby. Then the driver stopped and kicked him off the bus.
