Thats the parents fault. hehe
I get so tired seeing adults and children in the stores, on the sidewalks,
driving etc. with a phone stuck in their ear. It seems no one can get away
from home anymore, they just pick up and up take it with them. And I mean
stuck IN their ear. Its like a science fiction movie out there. You go to
a restaurant, and there is that joker -talk talk talk talk talk, - and not
quitely either - he yells into it to insure the other person hears ( and
everyone in the restaurant too.) I predict tht in 40 years, there will be
millions of voice box transplants, and some will get a phone stuck IN the
ear and have to have it surgically removed.
