How can I teach my mother about telephones?

We've had a telephone in our house for over 10 years now. I love my mother, but if she knocks on my trailer door one more time to inform me that "the box in the hall is making that funny noise again" I'm going to throw a freaking hissy fit.



I've tried everything. I just can't face another afternoon explaining where the wire goes.



When I do manage to get her connected (which requires 6 to 12 mg of valium just to keep her calm enough to hold a conversation) I wind up having to come back 15 mins later because she's screaming "Can you hear me now Maud?" at the top of her lungs into the frickin earpiece instead of the mouthpiece.



Also, occasionally (about once a month) she knocks the phone off the receiver and then beats it to pieces with a rolling pin when the thing starts beeping. It's costing me a fortune in new phones; our insurance refuse to cover this expense anymore.



Please help. Any suggestions at all because I am, literally, tearing my hair out.

I think you should get the phone in your room. Also when you are not at home, put the receiver in silent mode. Also consulting a psychologist for your mother might help.

Just go back to the two tin cans and a length of string. And as an added suggestion, perhaps you can take the valium instead??
