Me: Mom, why don’t you get a cordless phone?
Mom: But I like this phone. I’ve been using it for the past 15 years. It’s loud and clear.
Me: If you get a cordless one, you don’t have to put me on hold when you want a cup of tea or a couple of cookies. You can carry it anywhere and we can still talk.
Mom: …
Me: Mom? Are you there?
Mom: What a great idea!!! Then we can talk even when I go to the bathroom.
Me: Eeewwwww… THAT you should put me on hold.
Mom: It’s not like you can smell anything.
Me: Keep the old phone. You are absolutely right. It’s loud and clear. There’s nothing wrong with it. Keep it.

PEEE YUUUUU!
Newfangled technology isn’t for everyone. Or for every situation.
muahahah, that says LOVE when you can pee with someone on the phone with you!
No way can I talk on a phone when I’m in the bathroom it’s like an invasion of privacy, but of course I hear people in public bathrooms on them all the time, your post was cute.
Great, now I’ll be wondering what people are doing while on their cordless phones! Ewww!
Corldless: LOL My Mom still has a Rotary Dial Phone, and can’t set the time on the VCR.

“the man” and I have been trying to ocme up with smell-a-vision for awhile now. Hopefully it never comes to fruitation.
i am afraid that i am like the kid…with the never mind keep the phone deal.
Wow. What a brilliant way to end that debate in your favor.
