as i AM a kid these are my thoughts...... In september, i'm going to have to walk an hour to and from school, but i'm a safety freak so I told my mom that I either walked home with two firearms and a butcher knife or got a cell phone for safety reasons. Of course, most kids these days give Bill Gates a run for his money on the way work we technology. I'm the only one in the house who can work the DVD player, computer, the sound system in the car, the list goes on. I think very maturely and sophisticated for my age, and there's NO way i could think with five buttons. Then my mom, dad, grandpa, and nana said that if i feel more comfortable walking home with a cell phone, then i could have one. My grandpa said he'd by me this kick-butt awesome phone from virgin mobile but then one day my mum read an article in the paper (i'm gonna kill the reporter Carol King) about this super childish phone called the firefly. When my parents showed me one, i was disgusted. I think the 911 button is cool, but the "mummy!" button is a waste of time. But anyway, 5 buttons? FIVE BUTTONS? Don't my parents understand?! In grade 2 I wrote a 273 page book and was considering having it published! Because I go to a private and EVERYONE is super-rich and has kick-butt phones, but if I get the FreakFly, I'm gonna be like the mental kid in my class. Why do I need a phone that has "11-going-on-3" and "Oh, ya, it was an accident, I think it's at the bottom of Thetis Lake" written all over it?! When I first saw one I nearly cried at the fact I can't take pictures, I can't text message, AND I can't call the hot guy I saw at the beach yesterday unless he's "mummy approved". HELP ME!!!!!!! I think I will put a revolver or two in my back pack.........
