Should I or shouldn't I?

 Emerson climbed up on the stool when he was visiting...

 He had spotted the phone and pulled it toward him...

"Ummm?  Should I or shouldn't I start pressing buttons?"

 He quickly pressed a button or two....

"Ummm?  Nothing happened.  Should I try it again?"

The phone lit up...

"Now what?" 

It was so cute...Emerson was so curious about the phone...about how it worked...
