Lessons in Motherhood

After I talked to my husband at 5am to explain to him the unfortunate turn of events that led to me deactivating his phone, he literally laughed at me, to which I took absolutely no offense. This whole technology thing is not my cup of tea, and I’m even lazier about it since he solves all of our tech problems.

Which leads me to the next conversation that I had with him at approximately 10am when he called to tell me not to worry about the big flaw with the phone. What big flaw with the phone? Apparently, if you hold the phone by the metal around the side, then you lose all of your signal bars. You drop from like five bars to two bars. “It’s widely reported,” he said. Yeah, it’s widely reported in places where tech geeks hang out because I had never heard of such a thing. I was in disbelief that our precious little Apple would not test such a basic functionality. Did they not pick up a phone to make a call? Because you pretty much can’t hold the damn thing without touching the metal.

Of course, I experimented with it on and off during the day, and I saw it happen one time. CRISIS!!! Luckily, Luke has already ordered some type of case for it that will prevent the problem. Unfortunately, it won’t arrive for two weeks. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Walk around talking on only two bars or try to balance the thing without touching the metal? Whatever will I do? Oh the trials and tribulations of early adopterhood.
