Long Distance Call!

The day after my son had the "Speaker Phone Date," he confessed to me that his girlfriend had been out of town and the call was long distance! I had been okay with it if it was local, but long distance can add up on our home phone! Actually, we never make long distance calls on our home phone--we usually use our cell phones on weekends when it is free--usually. So he was shocked to learn that it would possibly cost a lot to talk long distance from home! I won't know until next month how much he ran our bill up, but I am glad for one thing--at least he didn't use my cell phone minutes. If he had gone over my limit, it is about 45 cents for every minute over. I think we have a 10 cents a minute home phone plan (long distance). It could be high, but not near as high as if he had used my cell phone. It turns out that he did this more than one day, too--so it could add up! I just hope it isn't too bad--he will definitely have to do some things to work off this bill! I guess teenagers and high phone bills are a common occurrence--still, it is always a shock to the parents when they get the bill! And it is also common for teens to have to work to pay for their high phone bills! Guess he better get to work!
