"Cell phones are not aloud in school, Mrs. Cragun."

I have two cell phones, one through Sprint that I use as my primary phone and a T-mobile phone that I use to talk to my family in Vegas (since that is the company they're with). On Tuesday morning my mom called me on my Sprint phone and when I asked her why she didn't call me on the other one, she said because she had just received a call from that phone from Logan's school! Huh? Logan's teacher called her thinking it was me, because the number was listed under "Mom"...are you following?

Anyway, when I picked him up later that afternoon (he just started at a deaf program through the school district until he can get into the John Tracy Clinic), the teacher pulled me aside and started off by saying, "Cell phones are not aloud in school, Mrs. Cragun. We found Logan's phone in his backpack and would prefer it if you left it at home. If you need to get a hold of him you can call the school and they will notify us." I started to laugh and told them that Logan does not have his own cell phone. First of all, he can not speak, hear or read the names in the contacts and secondly...HE IS ONLY THREE! Did they really think that I gave my three year old his own cell phone? I guess we do live in LA, weirder things have happened.

They said that they scrolled down through the contacts and when they found "Mom", they assumed that was me. When I tried to explain that he must have put the phone in his backpack on his own, the teacher said, "Well either way, they are not aloud in school," like she didn't believe me...quite funny!

Teachers are really smart people as you know. I mean of course Logan is the only person on the planet with a "mom" in his contact list! Duh

Don't all 3 year olds have cell phones? I love it when teachers talk to parents like we're too dumb to figure things out. That story is too funny!
