I remember getting on the other phone and trying to join in the silly conversation by saying the same thing happened to me with a guy I work with. It didn't work though - it just moved the eye-rolling stage up a couple years. Ah yes, I remember it well.

I can't remember exactly how old she was. Pre teens, I think. I don't think we even waited until a birthday or Christmas came around; we just went out and bought the damn thing so we could have some semblance of our lives back. Some parents get stuffy about it..."*I* never had my own phone! *She's* not getting her own phone either!" Etc. etc. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Sheesh. I just shake my head and shrug. What purpose is there in denying them a phone? Other than promoting fighting and strife amongst the entire family? GET 'EM A PHONE! GEEZ! Good for you, Debbie.
