Salesman On the Phone Game

Salesman on the phone
A game I play well.
Love it too

When my children were toddlers
I merely 
handed them the phone

When they got older 
I started trying to sell the salesman
aluminum siding, Tupperware, Avon, 

I called this new game
Beat the clock
The win was easy….did I beat my last time?

How long would it take
for the salesman to get irritated
and hang up.

My best time
Three minutes 
I am proud of that.

My way is great, because it is a contest you can always win, and it gives you a sense of power and accomplishment Ilene.
