Although they interrupt so many things, their batteries are dead when you need them, and they seem unable to survive even the shortest fall into Puget Sound, the good thing about cell phones is that you can hang up on a person and they won’t even realize it. Oh, I must have lost the signal. My battery died. Oh, yeeeaaaaa. And while we’re at it, what is the deal with batteries these day? My camera battery dies whether you use it or not. It’s like the blowup pool in the back with the slow leak. It calls out to you, all puffed up and shiny, but when you go to use it, the sides fall in and the water flows out. Kid uses flashlights when she gets in bed and those batteries can’t seem to last either. They were only on all night for a couple of nights. Where’s that energizer bunny when you need him? Then there’s the laptop batteries. Forget about them dying, they just explode and set your house on fire.
The greatest purchase DH has made this year was the hand crank flashlight for the Kid. She loves it and goes to bed slightly faster and with slightly fewer fussy breakdowns. I highly recommend it for all kids! And it may work well for power outages and emergency situation, too, according to the label. But, really they missed their marketing target — three year olds. Put a Dora or Cinderella sticker on it and sell them for $30. Hey……maybe that is our next cottage business…..
