Long Phone Calls

Ever since I can remember, I've made long phone calls. The record was once in my school days (only land lines then) when I phoned my classmate. Her Mom answered and I asked for my friend and her Mom handed over the phone.

Thereafter, while we were speaking, her parents went for a movie to the theatre. They watched the movie and returned — my friend and I were still on the same conversation.

I just got done with an hour long conversation with my cousin who lives in California.

So what do long phone conversations give me?

A sense of companionship, a space to really explore what I feel about certain people and situations, a safe space to bounce creative ideas and a safe space to vent when I need to. I know that, before the days of mobiles, 'she hogs up the phone' used to be the standard comic line about any teenage girl int he family. But I think one need not be flippant about long phone conversations. I'm fifty-seven years old and I still have them and value them.
