Clearly I am not very technically savvy. When I got my first cell phone, two years ago, I took it shopping with me thinking that I was "all that" because I had a cell phone. Anyway, I went to the mall and thought I'd call Troy. I couldn't figure out how to turn the #$%^$ thing on. I looked at it from every angle, turned it over and over still could not find an "on" button. Frustrated, I came home, dug up the instruction manual and figured out how to turn it on.
We recently got new fancy phones. Kaiti, Alex and Troy got the new Sidekick, while I got a Blackberry. Troy set up my contact list for me. Mostly because I didn't want to have to deal with it. He set up "My Fav Five" with himself and the kids. Of course he couldn't just name himself Troy, instead he named himself "Sexy". Cute! So every time he calls or texts, I know it's my sexy hubby! When Alex saw that, he asked, "Who's 'sexy'?" I laughed that he didn't already know! Then he thought he would one up Troy and added, "Sexy Beast". Again, each time Troy calls or texts it shows me it's my sexy beast!
It wasn't long before Kaiti got in on the action. She decided to add picture icons for my fav fives. My crappy camera cannot focus on my phone to be able to post a picture of the icons, but hopefully if you use your imagination, you just might get a visual.
My "Sexy Beast" is an African American hottie! Am I lucky or what! Alex is now a blonde bombshell... of the female persuasion. While Kaiti is a frothy mug of what I can only assume is root beer. As for my mom, well, she is a lovely Asian women! When I realized what had been done, of course I had to giggle. But they all know it's not likely to change anytime soon, at least not if they expect me to do it!

I did that with Kaylees phone she gets calls from "worlds greatest mom" and "cool dad" Then she and recordeda ring for my phone, now when she calls me it sounds like a bunch of kisses and her saying I love you mom. It's cute but I never hear it until it's too late.
TOO FUNNY!!! This post cracked me up, isn't how funny how tech savvy our children are.
That is hysterical! Now you need to at that one song that goes........."I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts!" when he calls.
It's pretty sad when we can't even work the phone we spent a hundred bucks on, he, he, he. =) I can barely figure out this blog thing!
i love it! especially the sexy African American hotty beast! i'm with you on the not being technical savy! i aske my nephiews or my little sister if i need any help with my phone! my nephiew had to teach me how to text. how sad!
the fact that you couldn't find the on button is HILARIOUS! i'm glad to know your blackberry is up and running even if its pictures are all messed up!
That's so funny! I have to say, I've never cared that much about cell phones (except for the convenince), and my sister works for verizon, and has always been embarassed by my outdated phone... so she took it upon herself to get me a new, slick phone, and now I have no idea how to use it! I had just gotten used to the last one! (It can't be that hard right??) :)
all I can say... HILLARIOUS!!! I can imagine... because that's how I would be! Sexy beast, frothy rootbeer mugs, asian women... made me laugh out loud today@!!!
HAAA HAAA to funny! I think that it is every husbands dream to be the Sexy Beast. I am sure that if Mike read this he would be inspired to put a cool name for himself on my phone. It is really sad when my 10 year old knows more than me on my phone, computer etc.
in all fairness it's not too bright to have the "end call" button also be your power "on" button, which is in most phones. My mom always asks us for help and let's not get started on my dad he just feels like he is above asking for help. cute post, you always make me laugh!
