I get a call and it's this friend of his, who has become somewhat of a friend of mine as well. Anyway, she's going on and on, and Larry's saying, "Ask her this! Ask her that!" so to get off the phone, I said, "Okay, well, Larry wants to say hi so I'll give the phone over to him. Talk to ya later..."
I hand the phone to Larry and he says (so she can hear him), "I didn't want to say hi, I just talked to her a few minutes before she called you."
So now she knows I was trying to slough her off. And I think he should have covered for me, considering it's his friend and all. I do that all the time for the girls when they're trying to get out of doing something with a friend - I don't say, "Emilie, why are you shaking your head 'no' like that??"
You know, if it were one of my girlfriends, she'd have grabbed the phone without missing a beat and said, "Listen, I forgot to ask you about..." because women do things like that for each other.
