“Will, did you take your cell phone, which is supposed to be used for emergencies only, to
school and prank call your sister from the bus this morning?”
“I did…we thought it would be funny!”
“Who’s ‘we?’”
“Everybody on the bus.”
“You are aware that your sister starts school 45 minutes before you do, right?”
“I don’t know. I never really thought about it.”
“Did you realize she was in the middle of her English class and her cell
phone, which was ‘accidentally’ left on, was in her backpack at the back of the class?”
“Well, no. I guess I never really thought about that part either.”
“Now tell me, exactly how many times did you prank call your sister?”
“Probably about 20. Am I in trouble?”
“What do you think?”
Mexico must be looking pretty good to him about now.
You know, I heard him practicing his spanish last night!
LMAO Nance!
Damn kids!
Isn’t the advance of technology just so wonderful?

While we didn’t have cell phones growing up, we did have access to various non-pay public phones. One thing I learned from my phone-company father – use somebody else’s phone so they can’t trace it back to you! (He never actually TOLD me that, but you’d be surprised what a kid can take away from supposed-to-be education. Well, then again, YOU probably wouldn’t be surprised…..
Now that was thinking! These ding-dongs never consider the fact that their phone number shows up on caller id.
We all know the male species doesn’t think. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.
HEY! What do you mean, “We all know the male species doesn’t think”? I resemble that remark!
LOL!!! I was going to say the male species thinks with the wrong head but Will isn’t old enough yet. I’m married to one of those males.
Common sense is a tough one sometimes!
You’ve got that right! “I didn’t know!” is a common response to most things in this house.
Oh yeah…..time to clean the toilets
…and pick up sticks in the yard.
Well, how about I don’t think Anna’s cell phone should have been “accidentally” left on in English class. Wasn’t Will’s fault…completely. Call the grocery store and ask them if they have chicken legs. “Well wear pants and nobody will notice.”
Don’t worry, she’s in trouble, too. In fact, she spends about 50% of her life in trouble these days. It seems as though “almost 13-year-old” girls have a problem with biting their tongues.
You can’t place restrictions on fun pranks. Everybody knows that.
Maybe not restrictions, but definitely consequences.
