So for Christmas, we got Dewars a cell phone. He did not ask for one…was a little pissed when he opened his present from us…and mumbled under his breath a lot that he didn’t understand why we got him a cell phone. You see, if Dewars could have his way, he would like to be completely alone geeking out to video games 27/7. For our own selfish reasons (like hoping he might learn to answer the phone), we bought him one.
Dewars seemed to begin to like the phone more and more–especially since a few of his buddies got them as presents for Christmas too. I noticed that he was beginning to text message and thought he was maybe beginning to socialize more through the cell phone…that was until this past Wednesday…
On Wednesday, we received a phone call from AT&T concerning our bill. Well, how high is our bill you ask? That would be $13, 463.83…Yes, don’t feel like I wrote that incorrectly…I really wrote 13 THOUSAND and some change …and it all is to Dewars’ number. There must be some mistake, you’re thinking…yeah, no Thai girlfriend, no calling China and forgetting to hang up, no 1-900 numbers, NOT EVEN SOFT PORN to justify this bill….OH, AND JUST A SIDE NOTE: HE HAD ONLY USED 28 MINUTES FOR TALK TIME
Dewars had been playing flipping video games all night long EVERY NIGHT that he had downloaded from the internet, STUPID (not even funny) youtube videos and FLIPPING RINGTONES! 13 thousand dollars worth…how do you even begin to punish for that?
I bet you guys think the kid is begging for mercy, right? That would be a big, fat HELL TO THE NO…he blames us for buying him the phone!!! It is our fault!
I placed Dewars on Ebay yesterday to see if there were any interested and serious buyers…no dice. So, not only are we stuck with THE KID (who won’t be going to college because of his cell phone bill), but we are stuck with paying it. Anyone out there in with someone at AT&T? WE are desperate!
DISCLAIMER: I WOULD NEVER SELL ONE OF MY CHILDREN. THIS IS ONLY A JOKE. I MAY GROUND THEM UNTIL THEY ARE 21, BUT I WOULD NEVER SELL THEM…

That is so familiar i’m not even gonna laugh… mine had to do with long distance charges on the phone bill due to playing a computer game over the phone lines… way before the handy dandy broadband got introduced. Yeah didn’t come close to 13k but yeah mine was cut short due to the time spend in game being free and timed…
I paid mine back, but wasn’t even close… wow… just wow…
