Wash: (as Stegosaurus) Yes...yes. This is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it...this land.
(as Allosaur) I think we should call it...your grave!
(as Stegosaurus) Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
(as Allosaur) Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now DIE!
(as Stegosaurus) Oh no, God, oh dear God in heaven...

My now-grown boys survived just fine without carrying around cell phones, just as my husband and I did. Even now, my husband will not carry one. Although I do have one, because it is for emergencies only; the only time I keep it on is when I am expecting an important call.

I agree that this product reeks of a company trying to take advantage of a "consumer group", mainly parents who are nagged by their small children for an item they couldn't possibly fully understand. Whatever the original target group was for this item, retargeting small kids to make a buck is not the right thing to do.]]>Jun 27th 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/Jun 27th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/As a kid of 4 I either had my mom, granny or auntie or even a babysister.. never was I alone.. Maybe if a a kid goes to divorced parents house and needs to hear other
parents' voice to go to sleep or be assured everything is OK.. but really..... And people are getting more complex phones for kids anyways at younger and younger ages... my cousins are 9 and 11 and they have gotten new cellphone every single yr since they started school.. They started out with FIREFLY.. Now the 9yr old is a text addict like her 16yr old cousin. they holidays both sit texting .. ]]>Jun 27th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/Jun 27th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/Jun 27th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/Jun 27th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/Jun 27th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/25/cell-phones-aimed-at-five-year-olds-hit-the-streets/Jun 27th 2009 3:15PM
