Hahaha poor Jacob. I usually just pick up and say "sorry my parents aren't home right now" as soon as they pause to take a breath. I don't wanna waste their time by waiting til they finish their spiel but I've had no choice a few times because they don't stop talking! I want to just hang up but then I feel bad. xD

Making up funny stories with them sounds like it would be fun. Probably more interesting for them too haha.
