My first memory: Mom's in another room attending my 18 month younger sister; phone ringing brings me to consciousness that I'm in a crib in a kitchen where I cannot answer it and transmit a message, so I am angry. Later trained by parents with home based businesses in polite phone etiquette, only that sister would call me on even a hands-free phone in a car though I fear a brother has answered his while driving.
Otherwise, I'm so rude on the phone that few bother trying. Probably came from 5 years as a WYBC talk-show host.
