Etiquette

My husband travels frequently, and when he does, I like to make sure the kids speak to him and at least say good night, tonight was no exception. Today he called while we were on our way home, and the kids did not feel like talking to him. Once we hung up, I told them that when Baba calls, we have to talk to him. I told them they should tell him they love him and miss him, and finally say good night.  So I went over my spiel with them and then I asked them, "What do we do when we talk to Baba?"  My younger one says, "Punch Baba?" My older one chimes in, "Then take Baba's phone?"
