I can't tell you how many times I want to take the phone from them and beat them with it. I am guilty of giving my daughter one (she's 14) but she walks to school and has to call me when she gets there.

I like a phone in my hand if I'm going to talk! Sandi - My son turns 12 this summer and I already said NO! Christy - thank you for thinking! Rhonda - well that is part of the movement - forgiveness on the other end! My tooth isn’t even charged – can’t stand it. I like a phone in my hand if I’m going to talk!

I was in the bank the other day and my phone rang. I answered it and told my husband I'd have to call him back because I was at the teller. As I put my phone in my purse, the teller said "Thank you for doing that." I guess she was stunned that I actually put it away to talk to her. I just think it's rude to talk on the phone when someone is trying to wait on you or help you out. I rarely use my cell phone and the only reason I have one is for emergencies.

Kids today think it's a right of passage and if they don't have a phone at 12 years old they're the only one in the world who can't communicate with the outside world (wah wah wah). And another thing...you don't need a phone that will let you research a cure for cancer. It's a phone people! It needs to ring and dial out!!
