Review:
Anyone who has ever played the telephone game knows what nonsense can emerge from a series of half-heard conversations. But one day, Toni's life is turned topsy-turvy through an inadvertent round of telephone! Upon deciding to throw a potluck party, Toni calls all her friends to tell them what to bring. Unfortunately, none of them can quite hear her requests: Ruth lives near the airport, Kirk baby-sits noisy babies, and Fiona lives next to the fire station. So instead of bringing bread and cheese, Ruth brings a bride and a niece. In place of salad and juice, Fiona comes with a sailor and a moose. "Oh no!" Toni cries, when Kirk shows up. "Hats and balloons, not cats and baboons!" Now, not only does she have no food, this hapless hostess has lots more guests than she counted on.
