My son, my son...

J-man received a cell phone for his birthday. This isn't a Nextel, Cingular, or Verizon phone; it is a prepaid, basic jobber that he can't do anything with but receive calls or call out. We are hoping this will help him with responsibility so when he DOES get a real phone he will not lose it within 4 hours.

So, remember earlier when I said he was curious about puberty? Well, he is really hitting his stride. We were discussing downloading ringtones and wallpapers on his NEXT phone; the one he will get when he is 13. He tells me:

J: Know what I'm going to get on my wallpaper?

M: What? Jeff Gordon?

J: Nope. (Raising his hands in the air) A swimsuit model, baby!

M: Oh, really now!?! You think so?

J: Oh, Mom. You just don't understand...

Unfortunately, I do.
