Sean and I went about our day.....grocery shopping, cleaning, doing laundry and of course playing. Then we got the call! Chris called and told me something I never thought I would hear. He told me he ran over his cell phone!! I was speechless. I didn't know what to say! I mean how does one run over their cell phone?!? Finally I got out the words "HOW did you do that!?!"
He was at a site (he works on cell phone towers) and as he was talking to someone he sat the phone on his bumper (he, obviously, has a wireless earpiece). He finished at the site and got in his truck and drove off, forgetting that his phone was on the bumper! His earpiece started beeping at him letting him know he was now out of range. That is when the light went on and he remembered he left the phone on the bumper! He turned around and went back to look for his phone. Sure enough there it was in the road smashed! Since that cell phone is his work phone he had to immediately go to the Sprint store to get a new phone.
When he got home he showed me his phone. I was surprised how well it looked considering it was run over! Chris said he pushed the silver speaker on the side back into place. Here is a picture of his phone:
The second picture doesn't show the damage very clearly, but all and all it held up pretty well!! Too bad it won't turn on anymore!
So now skip to the afternoon. Chris picked up Austin from school and when they got home I asked Austin for his cell phone. He said he didn't have it and he never had it! We thought Rebeckah must have it then since she was the one that grabbed it on the way out the door. So when she got home after volleyball we asked her for the phone. She said she didn't have it. She sat it down in the truck and that was the last she saw of it! We sent her out to get it from the truck. She was out there for a looong time. She came back in the house in tears because she couldn't find the phone. This did not sit well with Chris! We couldn't call it and search for the sound because the phone was turned off since they can't have it on at school. Rebeckah went back out there and searched again, Hannah went out and searched, Chris searched and then I searched. It never turned up. We were thinking maybe it fell out of the truck at school and we were hoping it would be in the school office waiting for them tomorrow. Chris went out to the truck to search one more time. This time Sean followed Chris and as Chris was searching Sean said "Daddy, here's the phone!" All that time the phone was under the passenger seat! We all looked and felt under the seat, but somehow missed it each time!!
This has nothing to do with cell phones but I thought I would throw in some pictures of Sean modeling his "Cars" towel.
