I called a 8:15pm to give J some information for travel arrangements.
J- Hello?
P- J?
J- yeah
P- are you on the phone?
J- yes (inaudible) just called
P- Ok you want to call back?
J- um, no, you call me back.
P- When?
J- 1/2 an hour
P- ok bye
J- bye

J called back at 8:55pm:
P- Hello?
J- Patricia?
P- yeah
J- it’s J, I’m sorry, it was my dad
P- Oh that was Keith calling the kids.
J- oh
P- anyway
J- oh yeah, my dad was on the phone
P- can he
J- he doesn’t call me very often so he was like going on and on and on…
P- oh, that’s cool, um. can he talk to them before it gets late? later?
J- sure, well, can you tell me what’s up first?
P- uh, hold on…
( I wasn’t quite prepared, had to gather the information)
P- ok
J- do you want to just wait and tell me tomorrow and let him talk to them now? sorry…
(isn’t that what I asked at first? She was more interested in the information. So it was decided I would call her tomorrow night at home, cheaper costs.)
J- hold on, let me get the kids so he can talk to them.
P- ok, hold on, (calls for Keith to get on the other phone.)
