Did you hear that?

Click, click. Yeah, what was that? I dunno. What were we saying? So, how are the kids? Fine. How are you feeling? Click, click. There’s that sound again. What do you suppose it is? I dunno. The kids are fine. It’s raining here today. Is it raining there? Click, click. There it goes again. No, it’s sunny and warm here. Click, click. I’m going to hang up now...I can’t stand all that clicking. Is this a party line?
