telephone

Juma found his long-lost, annoyingly loud play cell phone in the deepest recesses of the Couch Which Engulfs Everything, and had a "conversation" with his cousin, Xander. Juma asked Xander what he was doing, and heard that Xander experienced an earthquake "yesterday" out there in Hawaii, but that he slept through it. (Juma got his cousins mixed up. It was Isaac that slept through it, wasn't it?)

Funny thing is, Juma can remember he has a cousin named Xander who lives in Hawaii, but I bet he wouldn't recognize him if he saw him. It's been a couple years since we saw him. Neither Juma or Xander were talking then, so I can't imagine they've ever had an actual conversation.

Juma also had a conversation with his friend, Eden, who moved away this summer. When it was dinner time, I asked Juma to tell Eden we're eating now. "Oh, Eden? We're eating now, so I'll just set the phone down next to my dinner. Okay, bye."
