Why Do Parents Take Away Cell Phones When They Know You Need It?

October 18th, 2008

why do parents love to take away cell phones from kids when they know they need it!!?
and then they expect you to call them to let them know where you are going to be?

Dear *Luigi*,

Since when do you need a cell phone? When I was a kid, I sure didn’t have a cell phone. If I wanted to call my buddy Luke, I had to climb to the top of a high hill, cup my hands to the side of my mouth, and yell “HEEEEYYYYY, LUKE!!!!”

Then again, if I wanted to let my dad know where I was, all I ever had to do was fold my hands together and pray…

But, no, you don’t need a stinking cell phone. You ever see those rectangular boxes outside with chewing gum stuck all over them? The ones with a strong odor of stale cigarettes and vomit inside them? Those are “pay phones”. Stick a quarter in the slot, dial the number, and you’ll be fine.

Don’t remember any numbers without your celly? You’re in luck! Half the time the pay phone booth will contain a “phone book”, which is a really thick book with most of the pages torn out of it. The person you’re calling may be listed in there.

But probably not. The only people listed are losers without cellphones. So call somebody else.

Want to text message? Sorry. Try writing a letter. You’ll have to wait longer for that booty-call, but it’ll be well worth it. Chicks dig getting letters.

Anyway, suck it up, you spoiled brat. You don’t know how good you have it.

Gotta go, I’m getting a message on my Blackberry.

Peace out,

Jeesus
