Cordless Phone on a Moped?
Back when cordless phones were officially out on the market and in most American homes, I remember being just at the age where the phone was a BIG deal. I was waiting on an important phone call. I honestly don’t remember what the phone call was about, but I do remember who was calling. I was in Middle School and the hours spent on the phone were a normal part of my routine. However, I got bored waiting. Somewhere in my head I justified to myself that I would jump on my sister’s moped and ride around the yard with the phone in my hand, and thus would be able to hear the ring from the ‘all important phone call’. Needless to say a phone on a moped isn’t a good idea, and I did drop it. The back cover crashed on the concrete pavement and needless to say my parents were not happy with me. They fixed it with some handy electrical tape, however to this day whenever I talk on the phone and mention it to certain members of my family they always remind me that I shouldn’t take it on...
