piratelemur, over on laddical's blog, mentioned that her niece is currently a high school freshman. Leems, you need to remember that some of us in the target audience can remember when your niece was born, and since we are now old, we have fragile constitutions, you need to give us warning, like this:

Attention Old People: The next sentence will make you feel Old!

Bwahahaha!

Sometimes I wonder if it bothers her that I've known some of you guys for longer than I've known her.

Crud. It's been more than 20 years now.

I'm pretty sure you still live out with the cattle.

I parsed your sentence incorrectly

I have a nephew in High School. He has a cell phone, and evidently several girls text him every day to his mother's distaste. [and shock, really.]

I was shocked she allowed him to have one, but it is evidently beyond *impossible* to be a teen without one. I suppose that's true, I guess with a family plan and all it may not even cost extra, per se.
