Cell phone
I'm one of "those people." I don't own a cell phone. I just don't need one that bad. Honestly, I don't want to be that readily available. I don't want to use it as a reason I can be "running late." Not having a cell phone actually helps me be more responsible and on time.
Today was one of those days when a cell phone might have been a good idea. I was meeting D at the ball field at 6:00 pm. The kids had a group piano lesson I hadn't told D about at 5:00 pm. Therefore, I was going to be a little late.
When I pulled up to the ball field, D was there waiting for me. "Where were you? I've been waiting for you. I tried to call you. I thought maybe you were in a car accident."
I told him, "Sorry...I forgot the kids had group lesson this week...and we came straight here...I guess I might need a cell phone."
But then I thought about it and said, "but...then you wouldn't have thought I was in a car accident and realized how important I am in your life. And you wouldn't have thought about how much you loved me. See what cell phones do to us?"
We smiled at each other and I realized I liked being one of "those people."
