My favorite voicemail of all time was as follows from Bret Annalese when she was in kindergarten or 1st grade:
"Mom - May I have the last Gorilla Poop in Big Bird?"
At our house this actually made sense at the time!
We had a Big Bird cookie jar in our kitchen and there were indeed Gorilla Poops (No-Bake Cookies) in the cookie jar... :0)
