phone edict

Ok it used to make me so mad when my Grandpa Dean would call me, he wouldnt say goodbye before he hung up. So you would think he was still on the phone and you would still be talking and then you would hear the dial tone. It would annoy the hell out of me, how hard is it to say goodbye first! I THOUGHT THAT WAS BAD! Now I have my Grandma, who is even worse. When she calls she doesnt say hi. AND she isnt very nice on the phone either. She just called, but I didnt get a "Hi". All I got was ... "Is your mom there?" in a disgruntled tone! How hard is it to say "Hi how are you, is your mom there". No I guess thats to much work. Where is the phone edict. Do you think half the people that call for something really want to know how you are, no, but its polite to ask, its phone edict! When I see someone on the street, do I really want to know how they are? no, but I am going to ask them anyways. So the next time my grandmother calls and says "Wheres your mother" I am going to answer back by saying "I am doing great grandma, how are you"!!!!!
