Outdated Thinking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 Is there another need for this service, or is this just something that’s outdated?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?
