Jimmy: Hi, Mommy!
Mother on Phone: Oh, baby, I miss you. Are you being a good boy?
Jimmy: Yes, Mommy.
Mother on Phone: Are you brushing your teeth?
Jimmy: Yes, Mommy. I miss you, Mommy.
Mother on Phone: I know you do, swetheart.. I miss you, too. But don’t worry, you’ll be home soon.
Jingle: “Reach out.. reach out and touch someone.
