Cell Phones

The Joys of New Technology….

Having a cell phone has been a must with a busy family, running to 4 overlapping soccer games, but it can also be a challenge. Here is our experience owning not one, but two cell phones.

Kathryn likes to be able to contact Gerald at any moment by dialing his cell phone (enough with explaining to the receptionist why she just called 15 times in the last 5 minutes). However, lucky for Gerald his vibrate only works ab0ut half the time… so Kathryn never knows if she is being ignored, or simply just not getting through. (Gives her an excuse to call another 15 times… or at least until Gerald answers!)

Caroline likes the Cell phone too, but apparently not enough to keep track of it… did she lose it at the restaurant or the library! Kathryn quickly cancels it, as she has never really trusted strangers, and can’t afford 150 calls to Tibet!

Jessica loves the convenience of giving mom and dad an update of how the family is doing and finding out when they are coming home, every 5 minutes, while they are out for their special “alone” time. So much for dates without the kids.

Susanna knows that a cell phone means she can reach mom at any moment to inform her of which friends house she will be at next.

Jayden has mastered speed-dial and often calls his dad and pleads “let’s do lunch” or just has to share his latest dream during Gerald’s early meetings at work.

Andrew learned mom was not as happy as he thought she would be for trying to help clean up. All he did was wash her phone in a glass of water… we don’t want any germs after all…

and apparently no working cell phones either.
