We at home have the ultimate weapon against telemarketers, those annoying people who hassle you with phone calls at indecent hours, when you’re expecting some quietness at home after work. Our ultimate weapon is : the 3 year-old kid.

Everytime the phone rings, Oscar runs and gets it. And starts talking just as if Grandma was calling : “Hello, I’ve had a good day today, at school Julia said I’m a good kid you know what ? I have a big red truck ! Also I have a new book” and goes on and on at a frantic pace.

The funniest thing is, if the telemarketer actually manages to insert a couple questions in this one-way discussion, like “is your mother at home right now ?“, don’t know why but Oscar usually replies something absolutely incongruous and unexpected, like “no, she’ll be here Monday“.

My wife and I are literally rolling on the floor laughing. This is deliciously hilarious :)
