I so tested Fate with that last post. That very night, when we said our "Bests and Worsts" of the day, Josh said his worst was school. All of it. And tonight he threw a fit about being the Only One In The School (except for maybe four others, he conceded) Without A Cell Phone. Royal. Fit. Screaming. Throwing Things.
Very unlike my relaxed Josh.
Oh yes, the demons of junior high have begun their evil work...

Lauren got one when she was nine. NINE!
Hopefully Josh doesn't read your blog because that will just give him more material.
Good luck. I feel like at this rate, my kids will come out of the womb with a bluetooth or something.
I don't look back on my Junior High Years with fondness! Remember that's when I had "The Gayest Teacher I've Ever Had!" HaHa! Even though it's cell phones, ipods, etc. now, I remember that horrible pressure to have what everyone else had. Those were some pretty tough years, but you're right...they did help to make us who we are today! Josh is such a great kid! Chad ran up to him tonight to say hi, and Josh totally acknowledged his little four year old neighbor even with his buddies around! That says a lot!
Aw... I feel for the kid, and for you. Jr high is so yucky. Brittney has had the same complaint about cell phones. Blah.
Ah, Lara doesn't have one either. Family rule is you have to be in high school AND participating in an afterschool activity. Secretly though, it's so much easier once they have one.
Kerri, you're such a MEAN MOM!!! Gol, you don't give your kid a cell phone???? What kind of mother are you??? ;-)
Welcome to adolesence!!! Or, as I've decided it's real name: hell............
Just laugh your way through it girl, it's the only way to retain your sanity.
