Whoever writes those smart phone etiquette articles are super wrong.

I have some beef with all those smart phone etiquette journalists out there. First, while yes, it's gross to take your phone to the bathroom with you, or be on it during a romantic dinner, clearly these etiquette gurus are not divorced single mothers. Frankly, the only time I have peace and quiet to pinterest in peace is in the effing bathroom. Also, when you say annoying things like "don't be on your phone so much when you have free time" I kind of want to scream. You know what I do when I have free time aka standing in line at Starbucks or waiting for my tires to be rotated? I think. And that's bad, because if I don't have my smartphone to distract me, I usually think about shit like the last fight I got into with my ex and then start crying in public. But with my amazing smartphone, instead of coming up with 40 different ways of telling my ex what to shove where, I pin the crap out of everything on craftgawker.

So on behalf of every divorced mom out there with an over active imagination, I'd like to actually thank Apple and Android and Blackberry for creating these genius devices that turn my brain to mush.

Love,

mama & b...who thinks smartphones are great too, if only mom would let him get his hands on one.
