The game is called "telemarketer"

LG: "BB, the phone is ringing! Pick up the phone!"

BB: "Hello?"

LG: "Hello, this is Toys 'R Us calling. We want you to buy some new Playmobil for a million million dollars."

BB: "Okay!"

LG: "Great. But it has to be in real money."

BB: [pushing over a pile of little Playmobil detritus] "Here you go."

LG: "That is not real money. It has to be REAL money."

BB: "It IS real money!"

LG: [rolling eyes] "It is NOT real money. You can't have it because this is NOT real money!"

BB: [wailing] "LG is saying that this isn't real money!"

MB: [warningly] "LG..."

LG: "Oh, fine. You can buy it with that."

BB: "Hey, Daddy? Do you have a million million dollars? In real money?"

MB: [snorting] "No."

BB: [wailing again] "Then how will we get new Playmobil??? Oh, I know! We'll ask Papa and Grandma!"
