Please Don’t Answer the Phone

Lemuel wants to know why people answer their phones when they are having lunch with others. He observed, and overheard, one parent answer numerous calls from adolescent children during lunch. Lemuel asked me, “Bob, who is training who in this behavior? Can we not learn to wait, does everything have to be NOW?”


Lemuel’s question made me wonder if phone and texting addiction isn’t contributing to other addictions. For sure it is contributing to the absence of peace in our society. We are a nation of addicts in one form or another.
