From Gramps
Well, Suzie won! She's been after us to get a cell phone. The term "nag" comes to mind. Probably payback. Parents tend to nag their children into obedience or conformity. We weren't any different. So, now, in role-reversal mode, we're equipped, thanks to Suzie, with a cell phone, number 801-803-3242, on the same family system used by Suzie and the Noyes. Call any time. If we can find the phone, we'll answer. (Kidding.) As I write this, Nana has gone to do substitute duty at the temple, followed by a bit of shopping. Dutifully, she took the cell phone with her. Being a conscientious non-Utah-type driver, she won't phone and drive at the same time. Born and bred Utah women have a strange growth behind the right ear. Because it extends through the skull to the brain, it disables their ability to drive unless an inanimate object is pressed against it. The cell phone, being inanimate, yet lively in utility, allows them to drive and talk (not think) at the same time. They find it impossible to do either one separately and independently, thus increasing the incidence of road rage, accidents and, consequently, our insurance rates. We'll try hard not to add to the problem. Thanks, Suzie.
