I had tears running down my face...

.. even ask Marlene who walked in:)

MANY times I've had discussions and arguments

with people regarding the appropriate age for

kids to get cell phones..

Now, for no other reason than entertainment

value, I'm still

a fan of kids with phones...

I was at work this morning, and these are

a few of the

texts I received:

Reminds me of when Courtney

got her cell phone years ago..

Rule here is.. when you have a job, you can

have a phone

ONLY for texting family..

(we meant parents and siblings:)

When you're 15, you can text friends..

Courtney promptly texted Aunt Nel with

something to the tune of:

'Hey Tante! This is Courtney and I got a phone!

Don't tell Mom I texted you...:)'

HILARIOUS kids nowadays!
