Hehe. You're like my brother!

Personally, I'm not a phone person, but cell phones come in handy, and my parents want to be able to call me at any time when I'm not at home. Its good because your parents can keep track of you, and there's not always a pay phone around. Also, they can come in handy when there's an emergency, or you really need to make a phone call. A few months ago, we went to visit a friend and my brother went in his own car because he had to leave earlier (he had to study for his test at school). When we got home, my dad discovered that he forgot the garage door opener, and that he locked the front door from the inside with the extra locks before leaving because he assumed we'd be coming in from the garage. Had we not brought the cell phone, we would've been stuck outside for hours, but we called my brother and told him to come open it, and we were free in just a few minutes.
