You know you need to buy a Bluetooth headset when …
You don’t have enough hands to talk on your mobile phone and wheel your four youngsters across some parking lot simultaneously. Here’s something from Parents Behaving Badly:
Today, I went to pick up coffee from the Starbucks next to our neighborhood Safeway. What did I behold while there? A woman with four kids, none older than seven, ushering them across the parking lot with one hand. What was she doing with the other hand? Why, gabbing on her cell phone, of course. What else would you be doing when the safety of four precious children has been placed in your hands? Geez. As if there’s any phone call on Earth so necessary that you can’t wait until you’re out of the path of oncoming traffic to take it.
For me it isn’t much about talking on the mobile phone. The issue here is allocating one arm to a “full time job” of keeping it to your ear whilst your little kids wander the parking lot. It would have made a difference if you had a wireless headset allowing you to have both hands free, at least – if that call was really important.
