"Hi. This is ***. Leave a message"

hmm. I know you are in the car, I know you are coming to me. I know you are bad with directions. I know you don't know the area. I know we said we'd touch base. I know you have a cell. What I don't know is why you aren't picking up.

time passes, this time it's the reverse. My phone rings.

"Hello" I say.
"Um hi, we're here."
"Oh good! I just called you."
"Oh did you? I turned my phone off. I don't like using it while I'm driving."

I understand that. What I don't understand is why you don't hand your husband, in the passenger seat, the phone. I presume, unless somehow you got hold of a drivers ed car , that only one of you is actually operating the vehicle.

Ah.
The elderly.
