The Possum Chronicles: Possum Unlimited

02Oct10

Willow has a cell phone. We were not sold on the idea of getting Willow a cell phone — just one more way for the bad old world to insert itself into our baby’s head, thank you very much. But her world is expanding a bit, and she’s had to borrow her friends’ phones to ask us or tell us some perfectly reasonable things.

And then we found out about the Walmart T-Mobile plan, which is (because Walmart is the Evil Empire) dirt cheap AND lets you control which phones can call, and be called by, your child’s phone. This means that we can make a list of trusted friends and family and then let her go nuts because the plan has unlimited talk and unlimited text.

Which Willow and her friend were celebrating there in the back seat of the car:

Willow said this:

“I have unlimited talk and unlimited text.”

Willow’s friend said this:

“I have unlimited talk and unlimited text too.”

Possum (who is 5 and does not have a cell phone at all) said this:

“I have unlimited talk and unlimited text, too! And I have unlimited throwing-big-giant-rocks-at-hobos!”

——————-

*I’d like to clarify that we do not encourage the throwing of big giant rocks; even if we did, we would actively discourage the throwing of big giant rocks at hobos.
