Yep, I've become one of THOSE parents

Did you ever think you'd become one of those parents who throws up the: "Back when I was in school we had to walk five miles each way in 20 feet of snow."

Me either. But I threw one up last night.

"When I was in school, we didn't have cell phones. Heck, we didn't even have the Internet."

You see, my daughter lost the rights to her cell phone last night and she thinks it's the end of the world. I can't comprehend what life would be like without my cell phone. I guess the difference is that I lived 3/4 of my life without a cell phone. For her, cell phones have been a vital part of her entire life.

Still, she'll survive. And perhaps she'll learn to appreciate it more.

Yep. I've become one of those parents. Is it snowing yet?
