Talking To Daddy

Reenactment from what I remember:

*****
Begins with girl clumsily pulling out the home telephone to the living room floor. Lies on stomach and dial.

"Daddy, are you in New York?"

Gets up, holds the telephone in hand. Jumps about happily as she hears Daddy's voice.

"Why is New York an apple?"

Chats a while longer. Prances around. Hears the door open. Whispers,

"Mummy's home. I gotta go."

Hastily puts down phone.
*****

Recall that she skips around in a little pair of briefs while talking to Daddy. And the scene is taken as a long shot, somewhere behind the stairs, like a pinhole camera. It's as if someone (Mummy, perhaps?) is spying.

I dunno, the whole ad seems incestuous and warped to me.

There's a Mandarin version too. She talks about panda bears to Daddy who is in Beijing.
