So my wife was baking cookies, white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. They were fresh out of the oven, she asked me if I wanted one. Before I could answer I heard a loud pop. My belt had suddenly broken and my pants fell down. Sometimes the universe sends you unmistakable messages.

Tweedle! Oh, no! I was trying to make a phone call and my phone started ringing! Tweedle! It think I might've just called myself! What should I do? Answer it and tell yourself to leave yourself a message. Tweedle!

Oh, I meant to tell you … somebody called for you. While you were out. They want you to call back. It sounded kind of urgent. I haven't been out. I've been here all day, who was it? I don't recall. It was a few days ago. I'm sure glad I remembered.

Earl, I called you this morning and left a message on your phone. Yeah, I know. Why didn't you call me back? I was going to, but then it occurred to me that I didn't feel like it.

Hello, Earl. This is Pearl. Is Opal there? Nope. Okay. Can I leave a message? Go ahead. Do you have a pencil and paper to write it down? Yes, I do. Go ahead. I don't mean do you own a pencil and paper. I mean do you have them in your hands, ready to write something down? Oh ... then no. I think she's catching on to me.

I just sent a text to my daughter. Wow, I didn't know you were so tech-savvy. Oh, yes. I even sent an Imodium with the text. I think it's called an emoji. Whatever. |

Did you finally get your Christmas cards sent out? Yes, I did, but I didn't write anything clever in them, and they'll probably arrive late anyway. I noticed there are still a lot of Christmas stamps left. You DID put stamps on the envelopes, didn't you? |

Why do I always have such a hard time writing something on Christmas cards? Look at all these cards people have sent us with nice messages they've written. See? Here's a card from the Flournoys with a wonderful, thoughtful, handwritten note inside. Who are the Flournoys. I have no idea. |

Well, I hope you're happy. I finally told our daughter that I love her. I always figured she already knew it because of the things I did for her. But I guess she wanted to hear it in words. I'm glad you did. How did she react? Beats me. I left before she played the tape. |

Dad, you don't have to tell me you love me. I know it's hard for you to express your feelings. Hey, I'm not a caveman! I'm perfectly capable of expressing my true feelings to my family. And to prove it, I'm going to do just that right now. Really? Here. It's all on this voice recorder thingy. Wait 'til I'm out of the room to play it though. |

Oh, look at that, Earl! A little gray bird. My mother once told me that when she died she wanted to come back as a little gray bird. So now, whenever I see a little gray bird, I wonder if it might be my mother. I wouldn’t doubt it. That little gray bird is a nuthatch. |

Opal, is this your phone? Yes, it is. Why? I was just looking at this message thing here. It says you're supposed to call Ed. Who the heck is Ed? Let me see that. It doesn't say "call Ed." It says "called." C-A-L-L-E-D! Oh. Well … Good. That Ed guy was getting on my nerves. |

Earl, aren't you going to answer the phone? Ring! Ring! Nope. I don’t answer the phone anymore. It's almost never anyone I want to talk to. If they really want to talk to me, they can leave me a message on the answering machine. We don’t have an answering machine. Even better. |

Have you heard from Sylvia lately, Earl? No. I guess she's been pretty busy with work and things. I try calling her but she never answers her phone. She says I should send her text messages instead. She says she always answers her text messages. What is it with young people and their text messages? I think they like them because that way they can communicate with us without actually having to see or hear us. |
