I don't think I've ever heard that said by someone of your age demographic. Until my kids went away to school I think I could carry it in my pocket for days without a peep except during swim seasons. I'd get a text when they were 20 minutes to be picked up. My DS 26 had a cell since he was 15, going into high school. My DD had one she took to school in 4th grade. She was in a full leg cast, the disability bus picked her up in a wheelchair and the bus broke down one day and they didn't call the school or me and she was trapped for over an hour. A friend saw her sitting on the bus on the side of the road and called me. I drove and pulled her off the bus (in snow) and the school staff met me at the school. I was livid. After school she got to pick out her very first phone. It was against school board policy and I as a member of the board should have honored that but I didn't care. We rewrote the policy.
My DH and I are on the same plan and we don't come close to using our data unlike my kids. My DD went to bed tonight 'cause her phone was almost dead and her charger is in her bed.
Watching me move around erratically, doing really bad dance steps, he thinks exercise is a form of possession from evil spirits! Gotta admit that my exercise moves never look quite as good as the person on the DVD. Plus, the livingroom is tiny, and sometimes I bump into things. Guess I don't exactly look graceful knocking over the lamps, and apparently, my own dog is mortified, by being in my presence!
