I'm just sayin'

All the children are on pre-pay phones. 

Not one of them earned money this month to cover the cost of the plan.

All of them currently have phones that are not working.

No one is freaking out.

Will someone please tell me why we have paid this bill for so long if the children obviously don't really CARE about the phone service??

One successful step on the road to "un-entitling" the children. :)
