I Phone/ My Phone

Okay on with the story of my brothers new phone. He was going to turn 16 on the 17th of Novemeber, and he wanted a phone as his gift. He waited the whole week, without much comment or complaining, but when Friday came around, as soon as my mom picked him up from school, he was ready and waiting to go to the A T & T store. We get there, get signed in, and ask for the same salesperson that my dad used the week before. We figure we had traumatized her enough that week, that even though he knew exactly what he wanted, she deserved the commission from the sale. Of course he had to look and play with several other phones, even though he knew he wanted an I Phone. My birthday is coming up at the end of December, and my mom kept asking me if I wanted a new phone too. I have an old flip phone, over 3 years old. It has none of the bells and whistles, and I rarely use the phone. Like I have said before in the blogs, I have very little to say, and even less to say on the phone. The only reason I got the phone to start with, is because everyone else in my family had cell phones, and my mom decided to get rid of our home phone. Since I was at home for most of the day by myself, doing schoolwork, and my mom never knows what will come up for her in the day, where she may have to go, who she has to pick up, etc. etc., she wanted me to have a phone to reach her, and for her to reach me. So I agreed to get the phone. I probably have used the phone a total of 30 minutes in the 3 years I have had it. The I phone looked really cool, and it has a lot of good qualities and applications, even some that will come in handy, so I told her sure go ahead and get it for me. Let me say, I hate to spend money, even other peoples money, especially if I feel like it is being wasted, and I thought this would be a big waste, the cost of the phone and the cost of the plan every month. My brother and I both got I Phones, and have been having a blast with them. He has a lot of stupid apps on his, and I am sure he thinks the same as mine. The phone has come in handy a couple of times already, we looked up directions, a phone number and I can get onto the school website to check emails and other things. I still don't talk on the phone, and I have only sent about 5 texts, but I am enjoying the phone. So maybe it wasn't a waste after all.
