Cell Phones and Driving...sorry Oprah.

I love talking on the phone while I aimlessly drive around every afternoon. School-gymnastics-soccer-ballet-Softball... I would be so bored with out my phone. I don't understand what the problem with driving and talking on the phone is. People have been getting road head, smoking cigarettes, getting road head while smoking and driving a stick shift, etc... When I was younger, a relative who shall remain nameless could drive and slap the shit out of every kid in the car with out even swerving.

So I guess I don't understand the no talking on the cell phone rule. I get the fact that you can't text because that requires your eyes, but talking...come on? I get all my best deals brokered in my car, and if I need to answer a text I have my kids do it. Kids and husbands are far more distracting to my driving than my phone.

Does a phone backseat drive you trying to force you to park in complicated ways?  Does a phone stick a rotten yogurt in their sisters face or spontaneously vomit? No.

Maybe Oprah should do the world a favor and start working to ban driving with your family in the car.

There is an app you can download to your phone that will read you your text messages and emails.... isn't that sweet? so you don't have to look at your phone at all... and it will do it automatically without having ot push any buttons.
