Teenagers and Phones



Since my teens don't have their own cell phones yet, they tend to use our land line phone a lot. My daughter spent almost an entire day talking to her friends this past weekend. Now THAT reminds me of MY teens--I was ALWAYS on the phone and my parents were ALWAYS complaining about it. Back then there was no call waiting--callers would just get a busy signal. Guess what--I HATE call waiting because it always interrupts my phone calls, so I canceled it years ago! Most people have my cell number, too, so if they can't reach me at home they call my cell. So any callers that called the other day heard a busy signal--some called me on my cell phone, others just called some other time or gave up. Is it time to get another land line--nah, I think the answer in today's world is to get them cell phones--we just have to choose a good plan that won't allow them to run up the bill. Until then, people who call our house have a good chance of hearing that dreaded busy signal sound!
