Outdated Thinking

I don’t want to have a phone at my house anymore.  Is there a need?  Everyone in the world, including Harper, has a mobile phone, so what’s the need?  Nobody calls my home phone except for telemarketers and people looking for donations to a dozen different causes.  All this phone gives me is a way to be interrupted at dinner.

I pay over $50 a month to be annoyed almost daily.  Kristin says we need this phone in case someone attacks us and we have to call 911.  I guess this is a legitimate thought, but can’t we call from our other phones?  And if someone really wanted to attack us, I guess they could cut the phone lines before attacking us anyway.

OK, that’s a little morbid.  Sorry.  $50 a month could pay for a lot of something.  That adds up.  Is there another need for this service, or is this just something that’s outdated?  I don’t bundle this with other services either, so I could really cut it and never think twice about it.  Most people I know have a home phone number, so I’m either missing something or we’re all just doing this because we used to have to do this to be able to communicate.  What am I missing?
