business calls

This whole economy thing has got Finley worried - he's constantly on the "cellphone" with his stockbroker, shouting important-sounding orders and chattering absent-mindedly as he paces back and forth around the living room (he never stands still when he's on the "phone" for some reason). In this case, the cell phone is a small plastic container, but in a pinch, a flashlight or a shoe works just fine.


It's extra cute because Finley doesn't get the part about holding the phone up to your ear, he just knows there is something important about holding it in your hand up near your shoulder. When he is lucky enough to get one of our cell phones, he often babbles into it while holding it upside down and backwards against his shoulder. It always makes me smile! This photo gives a good view of his phone-holding technique:
