Well, do what I do then.
My phone rings while I'm on the lake.
Me: Hello, my love.
Wife: Hey, babe. Whach'a doin.
Me: Babe, are my rods in the rod rack? Is my boat in the garage? NO? Then I'm fishing. What in the heck do you think I'm doing. Are you hurt? Is the baby hurt. Did the house catch on fire? NO, then why are you calling me?
Wife: When will you be home?
Me: When the fish stop biting or after dark.
Wife: Ok, I love you.
Me: Love you too, babe. Bye. Hang up.
OR
Me: Hello, Love. What up?
Wife: Nothing. I just calling to say hi.
Me: Babe, did you get my phone call while you were at the gym or getting your nails done? No? That's because I didn't call you to ask you silly things. I'm fishing. I love you, bye.
Wife: Ok, I'm sorry. I'll have your dinner ready for you whenever you get home. Have fun.
