I mean dead as in kaput nothing a charger would fix.
Jumping off of this, so Dylan's phone died, went kaput, wouldn't take a charge, wouldn't keep a charge. He wakes up late, doesn't think to use his ipod, the home computer, the home land line, walks out the door with all his belongings and vanishes in thin air.
Not picking up what's being put down here. No offense at all, just jumping in because there was phone postings.
I can't buy that this kid shows up and all of a sudden his phone dies, but this tec savy kid can't manage to contact a single person by any means in the morning for a ride. He just decides to walk off on a trek of over how many miles in hopes of maybe possibly hitching a ride with someone that might be going on a dead end street on a Monday morning.
I know that my grandson wanted to go to his friends house and we didn't (meaning I didn't have the number) my 10 yo grandson figured out how to get the number long before I did. I can imagine that a 13 yo would be able to contact the friend, dial 411, look on the internet, for his friends home. Or is it that they all live in the sticks and nobody had land lines all the while knowing the get crappy cell phone reception. Or perhaps they have land lines but they are private & unlisted.
It can't work all ways, the possibilities of the impossible don't match up with the actuallity of the reality.
Again, mija, nothing against your posting at all, i just jumped on it because of all the phone talk.
