We do not have cell phones in my family (although I did have one at one point several years back for a period of two years). My youngest is a little over a year and a half old, and he notices cell phone everywhere. He began to notice people walking around with these things glued to their ear and talking into them. He would come home and grab the remote controls and hold them to his ear, talking into them like a cell phone. Finally, we pulled out the old cell phone (with no battery) and gave it to him to play with. One day we went to wal-mart and immediately he began to frantically look around at everyone with their phone glued to their ears. His hands shot up to his ears. Then he dropped one hand down and began to talk into the hand remaining at his ear. It was so funny, but it also made me realize what times we live in. Gone are the days of babies talking on fisher price phones that wobble around with the googly eyes. Now even our babies know what a cell phone is.
