how could it hurt to shield the phone gently and tell mom who your talking to? she may be paranoid that medical and other forces are conspiring against her and the phone call may pertain to her. elders want to retain a little bit of control of their lives and surroundings and i for one believe they should.

My mother in law is always asking me who called and what was it about, can't say it doesn't bother me because it does, my usual response is "a friend" and I leave it at that. Sometimes i just walk away when my phone rings. Hope this helps

To maintain your privacy, perhaps you could make and receive calls on a cell phone, if you have one, rather than use a phone that is within her earshot.
