My Verizon cell phone was pretty much as useful as a paperweight on a still day. It would take me about 10 minutes to place a call since my phone would lock itself as I was trying to use it, it wouldn't ring any longer, and the speaker function failed on me weeks ago. So early Thursday morning Greg, the girls and I went out with the crazies and stood in line for our pre-ordered iPhone4's.
We get in line and mall security saw me standing there with the twins and she pulled me out of line so I could wait inside in the air conditioning- really nice I thought. Well, as I was being escorted I got many a glare and one lady who was about 50 people from the front of the line snidely comments, "Oh, so bring your babies to get ahead in line. That is what you have to do huh?" Now, this could have been taken a few different ways and each has its own appropriate response, I think I chose wisely and possibly too nice of one. I stopped my stroller, looked at the woman, cocked my head and said "Well, I'm not cutting in line. I'm sitting inside with my kids, and you will still get your precious phone."
2 bottles of water, a cupcake and donut later (all provided by Apple) Greg and I are happy owners of iPhones. I have been busy finding new Apps and taking pictures of the girls :) The picture on this post is one from my phone.
