I am 32 and cell
phones weren't around 14-16 years ago for me to have one. Nor would my parents
have gotten us one if they had been around. I was damn lucky if my father let us
watch the b/w tv. Usually he had all 3 tv's in the living room watching 3
different basketball/football/baseball games. LOL

My daughter has a cell phone..but she does extra
chores for
me to earn it...and I like knowing I can
call her and she will answer even
if she is not home.
I had a phone when I was a
teenager.

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would
end
the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I
could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the
dance.
