Say Goodnight

Whenever I work late, Kerrie will call the office so the kids can say goodnight. When I don't answer the phone, they leave a message. Here is an actual transcript of one of those calls:

Daniel:
Hi Dad, you’re the best, you're the best, can I play a computer game in the morning? Bye, see you later. You're the best. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Here’s your kisses, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

Molloy:
Hello.
Hello.
Hello?
Mom in Background:
It’s a message, Sweetie, leave a message.
Molloy:
Hello. Can you wake me up? I’m going to be thirsty, I’m hungry, I’m thirsty.
Mom in Background:
No, you're not hungry, you just had a big belly from dinner.
Molloy:
I have a big belly. Can you not be a long day? Good night. Bye. Can you wake me up? Goodnight.

Daniel comes back on:
Don’t give her the things that she wants, all right? Bye.

Lev:
Hello, I love you you’re the best dad in the world, here’s your hug and a kiss. (Sound effects.)
