The Fossil

Take a look at this bad boy.  This is our awesome cell phone; the only one we've ever owned.  It's pretty obvious that this has not become a major portion of our annual budget, especially when you consider the fact that we put 1000 minutes on it last December and we still have over 250 minutes left.  If we don't use them by December 26, we lose the rest.

In an attempt to use up some minutes, we've been sending it with Savannah to various functions so she can call us when she's ready to come home.  She loves it.  She was okay with it until she attended the basketball game at the middle school last week.  She pulled it out and her friend Dakota said, "Um...Why hasn't that thing fossilized by now?"  Savannah laughed it off, making a crack about her awesome parents and how "in" we are, but I'm pretty sure she just wanted to crawl under the bleachers.  A few other friends threw in their own ancient/antique comments about our amazing phone.  They were just jealous.  I mean, who wouldn't be?

I can relate. We're the same way. When I was serving in YW's one time, Aaron and I were driving them somewhere and one of the YM couldn't believe how old Aaron's phone was. Pretty sad that these teenagers have way cooler gadgets than us!
