Well, despite my IPhone, i still have a land line and I won't give that up. I want it for the fact that in an emergency, the cell phone doesn't do so well with 9-1-1, and my house is hard enough to find anyway.
I had a weird thing happen yesterday, related to the topic of phones. I was at a meeting for one of my 5 year old clients. It was noted that she doesn't know her phone number. I thought, well, that's because she doesn't have a phone number. Her mom only has a cell phone and I don't think kids see their parent's phone as *their* phone. She will have to learn that number, but I can see this being an issue in the future. Obviously, we won't be giving 4 and 5 year olds their own cell phones.
Both of my kids and their spouses only have cell phones. I have no chance of "accidentally" talking to either of my D-I-Ls when I call my sons. While this may or may not be a good thing, I think it might enhance the relationships if they were the ones answering the phone once in awhile.
