Why I do not have a cell phone

Some may be wondering how a teenager could ever live without a cell phone. Well frankly, I don't. I just use my mom's. Which I hate doing. Here is a conversation that may show why:

We are driving into town.

Mom: Hey Jellyfish, why don't you call Big-Al to set up a time to hang out?

Me: That would be cool, but can you talk to him?

*Here you could be thinking I am very unsocial, but I assure you, this sentence was simply generated from experience in the realm of scheduling over the phone.

Mom: He's your friend. Here, it's dialing.

Me: But-

Big Al: Hi! I must be popular!

Me: Sup, this is Jelly.

Big: Sup dawg!

Me: I wanted to know when you could hang out?

Big: Dude, I'm busy all day.

Me: He's busy all day.

Big: Huh?

Mom: Ask about tomorrow. Gets out her planner.

Me: I was talking to Mom.

Mom: Maybe 2:00.

Big: You're with my mom? I've been looking all over for her!

Me: No! I'm with MY mom.

Mom: Why won't 2 work?

Me: Look out!

Mom: Whoa! Lots of screeching noises as our car dodges in and out of trees in an orchard.

Big: For what?

Me: I was un! talking ahh! to my help! mom.

Big: Whats going on!

Me: ugg! Car jolts over ditch back onto road (Lots of honking and screeching)

Mom: That idiot just cut me off!

Me: You're the one who's driving crazy!

Big: I'm at a stop light, how can I be driving crazy?

Me: I was talking to mom again!

Mom: How 'bout 4:oo?

Big: Oh, well I thought you called to talk to me, not your mom.

Me: Will 4 work?

Mom: That's what I just said!

Big: For what?

Jelly hands phone to his mom.

Me: You talk to him.

At this point, Mom talks to my friend all the way into town, laughing the whole way, and forgets to set a time to hang out. Why am I always the victim?

lol! That's awesome. And I second the motion... for the third time, I guess. Well, it was only second-ed once, and then it was third-ed, so I guess I'm only second-ing it for the second time, but it's really the fourth time anyone has said something about it in this thread.

Did that make sense?
