Ainsley told us during her game she had a "deal buddy." She explained she made a "plan" and asked another little boy to join her. Her plan? "When the white team is down by the goal we guarded it and kicked the ball out. When the yellow team has the ball, we help them (she was on the yellow team). Henry nor I have talked to her about defense. Love that girl!
Saturday night we got a babysitter for the kids and took Ryan and Clayton downtown. We ate at a Tapas restaurant and then walked the Southside Flats to get dessert at The Milkshake Factory. We ended the night with a quick tour of Mt. Washington.
During the course of the evening Ryan brought up an excellent point. There should be a universal rule for who should call back when two callers get disconnected. As it is, when I'm disconnected many times we're both trying to call back getting voicemails or busy signals. Ryan thinks the person whose name is first in the alphabet should do the calling. Clayton thinks the person who was the original caller should be the one to call back. So I'm taking a vote. What do you think the international rule on dropped calls should be? Feel free to come up with your own solution, too. (and for the fun of it, put where you're from in your answer.)
My mom and I have the same problem-so we decided that whoever made the call in the first place would call back.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Memphis, Tn. I think it should be the person who originally placed the call. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm from Hamilton, Ontario in Canada and I think the original caller should be the one to call back :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the person whom made the orginal call first.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Durham, NC, and I vote that the original caller should return the call.
ReplyDeletei say the original caller. Iowa
ReplyDeleteState College, PA - Original caller should call back.
ReplyDeletewhoever made the call should be the "caller-back" from minnepolis! (but going to school in omaha)
ReplyDeleteI agree that the original caller should call back. This keeps things fair and spreads the calling responsibility more equally. Otherwise, if your name is Abby... you would ALWAYS be the call-back caller. I am from Central California.
ReplyDeleteThe original caller is the one who dials again. MD
ReplyDeleteThe original caller should call back. I'm from Virginia. After telling Kim about it and Ryan's proposed solution he jokes "he with the most characters in his name".
ReplyDeleteI'm from Ontario Canada. I think the person who made the call should be the one to return the dropped call.
ReplyDeleteI think the original caller should call back..hopefully they are not too talkative or it may be a while before they realize the connection got dropped...hello....hello...
ReplyDeleteHurst, TX.
I've always thought it is the original caller, and if they don't call back once the call is dropped then I assume the purpose of the original call was achieved. I've never really stopped to think about it until you asked.
ReplyDeleteI think the original caller should. Cincinnati, Ohio
ReplyDeleteAgreeing with everyone else - whoever dialed the call that lost connection should be the one to call back.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Clayton wins! And I have to say, I agree. The original caller should call back. One reason - if you didn't make the call, you may not have the number to return the call. I know, that's not too likely now, but I still sometimes get calls where the number doesn't show up.

Look at Ryan trying to get creative. I think original caller. Way easier that way. Lexington, KY
ReplyDeleteOriginally caller should call back. New Hampshire.
ReplyDeleteI am from Indianapolis, Indiana and I think the person who initiated the call should be the one to call back.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Amanda--I would ALWAYS be the one calling back--no thanks to Ryan's proposal (also noted its coming from the one who's name starts with R!). :)
Here in Chattanooga, TN, I think the original caller should be the one to call back.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Hilton Head, SC and I think it should be the original caller who should call back. :)
