Mississippi Calling (Dateline: March, 2004)

I was sitting around the dining room table the other night when the phone rang. It was Mrs. Hansen for my husband (to discuss some work we are having done to our house).

My daughters, busily coloring, just love it when the phone rings ("can I say 'hi'?" is a favorite response to a picked up phone). I explained that it was Mrs. Hansen for Dave to discuss construction details.

Daughter #1 (now 4): Mrs. Handsome? What does she want?

Me: Not Mrs. Handsome, Mrs. HanSEN...

Daughter #2 (now 4 as well) Why is her name Handsome? Isn't that what boys are? And girls are beautiful? Right?

Me: Not HANDSOME, HANSEN! Daughter #3: It that is Mrs. Hansen, then who is Mississippi?
