Sunday morning and Flo was going on a quick errand to the supermarket. Wouldn't be more than ten minutes, she said.

      Not more than thirty seconds after she left, I heard the beep of the car horn announcing her return. I went out to see if anything was wrong.

      She had forgotten her cell phone! She realized it as she pulled out and tried to make a call.

      I laughed and poked fun at the fact that she couldn't be without her cell phone for ten minutes.

       Others I have shared this story with confess that they also would have returned for their phone -- even for a ten minute errand.

      How long can you be without your cell phone?
