[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 609717, member: 6705"] Belle once tried to tell husband and I that her disappearing was OUR fault because we had taken her cell phone away. When we pointed out that 1) she wasn't supposed to be gone and 2) all her friends had phones, she got really upset... LOL! Right now we just replaced Pat's cell phone. After 3 trips through the washer and drier, his died. But - we made him pay for the replacement phone! Partially this is a safety thing for him - being that he is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), things happen. We do not have a land line, so if we need to get hold of him at home... It must be a cell. Our neighbors are... Not always neighborly. And even if we explained to him, it would not occur to him to walk to a business though there are quite a few of them close. In addition, he does walk home from school about once or twice a week, which is 5 miles and a couple of busy roads. But mostly, it is a treat for him and a convenience for us... When he gets a job, he will have to pay for his own phone. Same as we did with Belle. He went 3 weeks with no phone between killing the old one and this weekend and did fine... It's not a necessity by any means. [/QUOTE]
