Re: Unlimited Texting is a Must

Inquiries regarding a list of the rules for the new cell phones are slowly hitting the inbox. We’re new at this, what are good cell phone rules for 9 and 10 year olds? I have one: don’t text me if I have to walk past you to pick up my Blackberry, try speaking.

I respect this Overheardian’s desire to get it right:

1. When is it appropriate to remove the yellow ribbons related to HPHS football’s state title hopes? Am I a bad fan if take mine down first?
2. Our Mad for Plaid sign has been up for two months. Can I take it down or will people think I didn’t support our schools?
3. Christmas decorations. Should I take them down now or wait until Jan 2^nd or thereabouts? (Don’t want to be a grinch)
4. My neighbor still has a “He is Risen” cross in her flower bed area. Shouldn’t that one have come down after Easter?

Unlimited Texting is a Must

I thought that 300 texts per month should cut it for a 9 and 10 year old. Nope. After one day with modern communictaion devices in their pockets I upgraded to unlimited texting plans. Probably because they have replaced speaking with texting. I got this one from our 9 year old yesterday while he was seated less than 20 feet from me:

Can I have a few Skittles?

Then at dinner last night our 10 year old texted from across the table concerning our 6 year old:

She’s lying.

Texting rules are about to kick in.
