Ok...many of you have read this, but I decided to revise it a bit( thanks to Julia). Here is the updated version:
As James recently learned, there are certain things you cannot do
with a cell phone. His lessons are number 1 and number 2 on the list.
1. Do NOT leave your cell phone with Faith. She will call all of your friends, in the middle of the night, trying to figure out whose phone was left behind. Thankfully for James, his friends did not answer.
2. Do NOT, under any circumstances, drop your phone in the toilet.
It does NOT need to pee, no matter what it tells you.
I learned lesson number 3 last night.
3. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT, wash your phone in the washing
machine. It is not that dirty! Use some alcohol to wipe it off. No,
it will not sting the phone.
Yes, friends, I realized after the washer was filled about half way
that my phone was still in my back pocket..of the pants IN the
washer. I took the battery out and let it dry all night. It came on
this morning, but it kept buzzing. It finally stopped, and I
thought " It is a miracle." Then in my brilliance, I thought, now I
can charge it. Clearly, it was not all dry, and it was NOT a
miracle. Now the phone is acting DEAD not weird.
I just wanted to share this story and lesson with you all, in case
you were thinking your phone needed a good washing, or in James'
case, that it needed to pee. Also, as I mentioned, Faith is not a good foster parent for your phone. Do not leave it in her care.
UPDATE: I still do not have a phone. It was mentioned to me that I might be able to get a phone for less money, on ebay or Craig's list, than my deductible. I am now consumed by searching for the perfect, less expensive phone. I was 45 minutes late to church on Sunday as a result. I openly confessed to Michael that I had lost track of time searching for this elusive phone. NEVER tell someone who enjoys research to do this. I cannot just find a phone and buy it. I must investigate every single one to make sure I want it. Too many choices..too many choices.

Amy, you are so funny. However, I think it is interesting, to say the least funny, that I never heard James complain that I had his phone. James, are you listening and do you have any complaints?
I noticed that not leaving your cell phone with Faith took priority over not submerging it in the toilet or washing machine. I totally agree, Amy! I think within a few minutes of possession of my phone, Faith could have my deepest, darkest secrets figured out... sort of like identity theft. Scary, huh?
Oh, my gosh. I started reading Janet's comments at 12:22 - I am still laughing. People outside my office are saying, "Pass it on, Faith!" It is now 12:31 - oh, help me Lord! Too funny.
what faith? do they think it's holy laughter or something?
The things I was thinking were not holy. Not holy. But funny none the less! I could list them for you or just call Julia.
