Bad times to answer a cell phone

30.  Senior year, I tricked my parents into getting me a cell phone by pretending I didn’t want one as a “leash.”  About three days after they ’surprised’ me with it, I lost it.  Apparently I switched it with a Mountain Dew while reaching into the cooler.  When I did finally find it, I dried all the parts, put it back together and charged it.  Then I kept that phone for years…  I miss that phone.

I thought I’d give you all a break from my pseudo-deep thoughts.  Three quasi-related posts are coming up in quick succession until Saturday.
