12yo gets a cell!

Cell phones started showing up among E's classmates in the 3rd grade...he's been begging for one ever since.


Jodie and I showed up for Sunday school, and there was no class. We took of in Jet White down to a coffee stand and got a couple mocha's. When we returned, the one disabled spot we feel safe parking in was taken. We park at a bit of an angle there, giving me more visibility backing out. We parked in the back parking lot. I had to walk quite a ways to get to E's class.

I told E, "You know, this would be a whole lot easier if you had a cell phone."

He was hyped; I was committed. We went and got him his first cell phone, a grey Razr. He has 100 minutes.

Nephew Vance had a basketball game tonight. We were able to call E to have him meet us at the door with some of his cash so we could get in without making a trip to the bank.

Vance scored 28 points tonight...varsity 2a basketball. He kept making 3's!
