How Bluetooth Works Mom

I wake up on my birthday and check my phone for messages.

Aunt?

Check.

Grandma?

Check.

But, no mother.

Worried, I make myself a bowl of cereal and checked my email.

Mom wrote me.

Dear son,

I wanted to call and wish you a happy birthday, but I took my phone to Verizon to install the bluetooth and now it doesn’t work.

I will call you later.

Love,

Mom.

As soon as I read that, I started laughing.

This is what happened.

She went to get the bluetooth installed and then tried calling me without having the bluetooth in her ear, so she thought the phone didn’t work, yet it totally was, but she didn’t know it.

Anyway, I went on with my day and drove to Pasadena to spend my birthday night.

On the way, I got a call from mom and sure enough that was the issue.

We laughed a little and then came the barrage of question.

Dave, how can I answer the phone without opening it?

Dave, can I close the phone once I answer it?

Dave, How do I hang up the phone?

Dave, can I answer the phone from the earpiece?

Then came the best line ever.

She told me she was going to the market and planned to leave the phone in her car and just walk around with the earpiece.

I told her it didn’t work that way and teh phone needed to be within 20 feet of her, and she was shocked.

Apparently, when she sees other people walking around with bluetooth in their ear, she didn’t realise that the phone was somewhere on their body.

Anyway, I love my mom and one day she will learn, however this gave me an idea.

Why not make a bluetooth earpiece that is an actual phone.

Not for outgoing calls, but just for incoming  calls that you would need to take.

For example, you are at the gym on a treadmill, (obviously not a situation I would ever be in) you wouldn’t want a whole phone on you, but you would want to be able to answer the phone in case your kid called you to tell you that they broke their little brother’s collar bone while “play” wrestling.

(this never happened by the way and my brother’s collar bone breaking was a mistake)

You would totally want an earpiece that you could answer.

I think the reason they haven’t made one is because you would get brain cancer.

But, you would always be connected.

It’s all about sacrifices.
