"The first rule of the shoes is: You do not talk about THE SHOES. The second rule of THE SHOES is: You do not talk about THE SHOES . Third rule of THE SHOES : Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, you say , yeah nah cos the shoes said so . Fourth rule: Yin and Jaime rule the shoes and whatever happens with the shoes is fine ...

What! Are you saying that the phone also dials without a battery too? To answer your first question, no. I did not know.

What a night there Yin.

I did know that! I keep one in our tornado hide out. Also many police or sheriff  departments will take your old phones to give to people who have suffered, or suspect have suffered, domestic abuse so that if it happens again they can call for help. We have donated several old phones.

WOW!!! It seems like I was the only one who did not know this! LOL! Do you know, does it still apply if the battery is in? Can I take the battery out and let him play with it? Or do I just need to go to Toys R Us? LOL!

If you take the battery out it shouldn't work. The circuit isn't complete.

Yes, last night we got a knock on the door from a police officer asking if anyone called 911 from this house hold. We all checked our phones thinking maybe we butt dialed but none of our phones did. He said "it came from an out of service phone." We gave Jr an ancient phone to play with, no way to charge the battery, it doesn't even have a keyboard! Remember the dinosaur phones that has numbers only!?! Yep Jr dialed 911!!!

My family chuckles at me.... Yin that is a boy! LOL! Lets see... he has ordered 1.99 games and GPS on my phone before and it shows up on my dads bill! LOL! (But that was back when he was one!) He changes my daughters wallpaper on her computer background, he figured out where to put a vacuum hose me AND my dad couldn't figure out.... WITH READING THE INSTRUCTIONS! He catches the "Pokemon" on daddy's phone. He likes electronics and musical instruments.
