They have their extended conversation! What does one do while that happens. Look around? Take out a book and read it??

On the rare occasion that someone we're with gets a phone call, they'll either make the call brief or tell them they'll call them back. We do the same.....or just let it go to voice mail. It all seems to work out fine.
One friend of ours calls his mother every afternoon at a certain time. She expects the call and would get worried if he didn't call. We're completely understanding of the situation - he always excuses himself from the room to make the call.
