Big Smurf
I'm kind of with you, but conversations with my nephew when his dad puts him on the phone are hysterical

Nephew: "Hi Uncle Coke!"
Me: "Hi nephew. What have you been doing today?"
Nephew: "we went to the park and we played and daddy bought me an icecream!"
Me: "Wow! Thats sounds ama..."
Nephew: "BYE!" *drops phone handset on floor*

That sounds like my kid
He is very young though (Not quite two) so when I ring him up to say good night to him I get some one word answers.

Hey little man, were you good for your mommy today?
Bear!
What?
Big House
Ohhh, you are watching bear in the big blue house?
Bye! * Phone drops *

You're lucky you got the "bye" before the sound of the phone dropping...
Mine always yelled "bye" as an afterthought.....about the same time the next person had picked up the phone from the floor.

I think when a kid actually says "bye" first, it is a sign that they *really* like you.
