According to Jake! And am I ready to cave?- Yes!
But justifiably so!
To state my case:
*I told Jake if he passed all of his TAKS test we would get him a cell phone (a bribe? maybe- was I sure he would? deep down- Yes! Was I just looking for something to hold over his head? Without a doubt!) Anyway, yes he passed them all, and (he isn't aware of this yet) was Commended on his Science Taks!
WAY TO GO BUB!
*Jake technically already has a Cell phone. The one we got for him and Presley to share. The same one that hasn't left Presley side for two years. The same one that he has never taken with him when we needed him to. 
Who in the world could say no to this face? ( this picture was taken several years ago (5-2004)-but I love it!)
* Next year, he will most likely be walking to and from school- so I'd like him to be able to call me if he needs!
*And of course the thing all parents worry about- Your child goes to play at someone else's house, and while they are there you are talking to another one of your friends that tells you the dad at the house your child is at is a little off his rocker- so then you get a little paranoid, but you don't want to call that kids house- because the dad might then know that you found out he is a little off his rocker- so I'd rather just be able to call Jake and make sure he feels safe with the LOONEY! I mean how would you feel if your child was with this guy?
NO!
Sorry Honey- I couldn't resist! (Halloween 2006)Anyway- so yes- I'm going to go get Jake a Cell phone! And NO- Not every 5th grader has a Cell phone except my son! I know this because I had to promise my good friend Karen that Jake wouldn't tell her son when he got a cell phone. There might still be one 5th grader besides you Jake!
*Jake- You did very well this year honey- All Pre- AP classes, and all A's and B's!!! I am very proud of you and Love you very much!*
