raw gratitude

Today I am thankful that NO ONE is going to mention:
1. cell phones
2. cell phone plans
3. sim cards
4. tricking me into "trading" phones
5. blu tooth
6. blu teeth
7. pay as you go plans
8. AT & T
9. Blackberries
10. The Unusable, No plaN, blackberry that a friend in Brett's office gave him- much to his distress because it doesn't work.
11. The untrue fact that he may need to make an emergency call to 911 if our house is on fire & the phones are all not working and the neighbors are all gone.... ?
12. "everyone has one"- which is a LIE
(even though last week after school, across town, we saw a little girl about kindergarten age, walking & talking on one... if I knew her or her parents I would slap them. Trent just about flew out of his seat...Proof that someone Younger than him has one- "look that girl has a cell phone!!" I bet it's a toy I said- I bet she's borrowing it from her mother, I said... no luck convincing him)


NO ONE will mention these things...
Because, if anyone mentions these things-
SANTA WILL HEAR HIM!
and you know what that means!?

  5. I finally told my daughter "do.not.ask.anymore.in.fact.do.not.ask.again.for.5.years" and in a very serious voice I told her that to ask anymore would only get her in trouble and we would revisit the conversation again when she is 13 (she's 8). So, I know. I know what you are talking about.
