Yeah, smash the phone.
This texting crap goes on at the college level as well. I don’t know how many parents realize that little Johnny got a C because he wasn’t paying attention and was texting during class and not because the ‘prof is a jerk.’
Heck! It's in the work place too, and in all age groups! I can't count the number of times I'll be talking to someone and they pull out the blasted phone and start texting. It's a new level of rudeness that really burns me up!!
Then there's that danged i-phone that grown people are always playing with...
