I have instructed my children to tell you that yes, their mother is home, but unfortunately she only speaks the African clicking language. If you still insist on talking to me, I will get on the phone and click at you until you hang up.
My solution has been to just talk to them in Spanish. How about using your French. Which would be a great way for you and the girls to practice your French :-)
I began explaining that we had already expended our charitable-giving budget for the year and the bastards hung up on me. That's right! A charity HUNG UP ON ME! What's the world coming to? They also like to explain in painstaking detail that the federal do-not-call list does not apply to charities. I tell them, I know, I'm the lawyer. You are right. Think I'm going to donate now? How does it feel to be right...and broke? They are probably former AIG execs.

Excellent technique.
I hadn't thought of that. Good idea!
