Now tagless for your comfort.

I have been in situations where my T-neighbor realizes I am reading along, and moves how he holds the book so that I can read more easily. Rarely, they will pause and wait for a nod before turning the page. I think it's cool! Symbiotic, like.

Something like this gives me hope in humanity.

Bwah! Not interested in being a magic user, I guess.

My nephew leaves voicemail all over the place. When he was younger, it was just heavy breathing, but now he babbles. Until he gets bored and then wanders off, leaving the phone to pick up ambient noise. But you usually figure out it was him pretty quick. Unlike my brother, whose touchy phone apparently dialed my parents while in his backpack in lab. It freaked my mother out.

Keys lock! My cell phone is always on keys lock.

I saw a toy cell phone yesterday at Target that can record voice messages for you baby. I considered it for a moment, because Owen has become fascinated with the phone. He sees me talking into it and smiles and tries to grab it.

I'm sure if I bought it, DH would hate it. He hates all phones.

I'll get these kind of messages only the person doesn't know that their cell phone (most likely in a pocket) dialed the number without knowing it

I call that ass dialing.

I was once watching a DVD on a plane, and they guy next to me was obviously watching. i ignored him. I had to go to the bathroom at one point, and when I got back, he asked if he could share my headphones. That was going a bit far, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is it with phones? Are they like magic to the wee ones?

Just one small step on the way to ... MILE HIGH CLUB.

I think you get extra points if it's zipless.

They have buttons to press and voices come out of them. Yeah, they're magic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why people gotta ruin everything?

Oh, ita, there was a reference to the zipless fuck at this reading thing I went to over the weekend. I thought of you and laughed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They have buttons to press and voices come out of them. Yeah, they're magic.

Some of them also produce candy.
