Nerds

Now that Wm is a Giant 10 Year Old Tween of Hormones and Doom and Grumps, we decided to get him a phone for his birthday. Mostly because we don't have a landline and he needs to be able to make calls if he's home alone, even if I am just running to the store. And we told him, at 10, he will be old enough to stay home alone for short trips like that. After much research, we found a cool provider that will work well for Wm's needs and won't break the bank. Since we ordered the phone and started paying for it, it seemed stupid to leave it in a drawer for another week, so we gave it to Wm early. He's thrilled. THRILLED. It's like we gave him the greatest treasure of all time. So, it was a big hit. However, there is a consequence....

I looked over at The Two Nerds and this is what I saw:

 

Now BOTH of them are constantly on their phone. What have I DONE?!?  

Wm's sleep over is this Saturday. And Steve got my germs. He actually left work early yesterday - which NEVER happens. He did say this morning, after his nap yesterday and a good night's sleep, that he's feeling better. So he should be back in action for The Big Sleepover this weekend. THANK GOD, because he is on Kid Duty. I am on Chatting with Parents duty at drop off and pick up. It works out well since I do not care for children and Steve does not care for adults. Everybody wins!
