Oh the irony

My cell phone is being bratty. I can get mail, I can go anywhere on the internet, but I can’t make a phone call, or more importantly text.
The irony is back when cells were becoming accessible, I would loudly proclaim that I would be the last person on the planet to get a cellphone.
Yeah.
When the iPhone commercials debuted , I wanted one so bad, but I realized my hypocrisy. My youngest son said, “just think of it as a computer that you can make phone calls on.’’

Well!
I soon after became the first member of my family to own the newest, latest, greatest tech. 😳

And seriously, I rarely use it as a phone. I have less than 20 contacts on it.

Yeah, I don't even know what's the point of me calling my smartphone a phone. I doubt that I make an actual phone call more than four or five times in a year, and I let all incoming calls go directly to "missed" or "voicemail" as the case may be. I have the ringer on mute so I don't even pay attention to an incoming call while it's happening. (And right now I'm using said smartphone to write this comment.)
