Should little children be allowed to record messages on your answering machine?
Of course, this article is not likely to change the decision of any parents. You may decide that your child should annoy others. However, it is important to realize that you will indeed be annoying those who are trying to call. The child might be put on the phone in order to sing a song for Uncle Jim in Arkansas.

If you ask children to record a message on the answering machine then make sure that the information is clear so that the caller will have the correct phone number and the right home.
