My Baby, The Cell Phone Programmer
Hi it's Saioa!
For being only one year old, Saioa is very talented with my cell phone. She can turn it on and off, change the ring tones or set it to vibrate. She freely uses the features that I get charged additional for, and she even will make phone calls. It’s not unusual for her to call someone and I have to explain that it was Saioa that wanted to talk to them and not me. And I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve missed a phone call or text because my phone was on some weird setting.
If you were to call my cell phone right now, instead of getting my voicemail, you’ll hear an operator say “this call cannot be completed as dialed.” I don’t know how long my voicemail has been MIA, but my husband asked me the other day, “When was the last time you got a voicemail?” I couldn’t remember! It explains why when I looked at my missed calls, people had called two, three times in a row, probably wondering why they couldn’t leave a message.
So I called Verizon and they asked if I had recently re-programed my phone. Yeah right. The only thing I can do with my phone is dial a number and text, as I am very lazy when it comes to learning new technology. Saioa, on the other hand, is the programming expert around here, but when I asked her what she did to my phone, all she said was “bub bub bub.”
Verizon gave me some troubleshooting tips but none of them worked. So I’ve yet to call them back and figure out how to get my voicemail back. In the meanwhile, Saioa’s not allowed to play with my phone anymore. She’s adjusted to the new rule well and has now shifted most of her attention to the printer. I know this because the last time I tried to print something, not only did it not print…. everything in the menu window was in Japanese. Saioa had somehow changed the language settings.
So if you get a call from “me” and no one answers or you get a strange email written in sanskrit or something…. just know it’s most likely an impostor….a darling, mischievous one!
Does your baby like to play with your cell phone? Who has he or she called on accident?
