For the record, I quizzed my kids on the difference between cannibals and camels the day after the previous post. It went down like this:
Me: Okay, Z. What's a cannibal?
Z: I'm not falling for that again. It's the green, spiky thing in the desert! Yeah! See!? I remember!
Me: Z, that's a cactus.
Z: GEEZ! Why can't I get this right?
I gave up.
Today's conversation was about cell phone etiquette on the college campus.
Apparently this child had his cell phone taken today.
J: Miss, do they take your phones in college?
Me: J, what are you talking about?
J: Well, will they take my phone from me if they see me using it in college?
Me: No, honey. They can't do that. They won't take your phone then.
J: YES! That's awesome! I'm gonna act the FOOL in college! I'm gonna use my phone all the time!
What do you say to that?

Tell the kid, "No they don't take your phone away, but your teachers will embarass you in class if it rings or disrupts their classes".
I forgot to silence my phone, it rang, and my professor said "Answer it." So I did. And then he came over, and took the phone said, "Hello, Meg is currently learning about Shakespeare. Bye bye now."
