Mom get off the phone!!!!

Don’t you remember the days when you had that girl in your fifth grade class that would always call your home and your mom would pick up? Well I do. Man, did I have a crush on her. My mom would giggle and hand me the phone, and I would always always turn red. I felt so weird talking on the phone with the girl, because I could never tell if my mom was listening to our conversation on the other line. Now that I am older my mom is not the problem. I wish she was the problem because now that I am old enough I can tell her to get a life (she is sooo annoying). Now I really have no idea who is listening in on my phone conversations. Is there someone recording my conversations? Is there someone listening at all times? Did I say something that is going to get me in trouble? These are just a few of the things that I think about when I am on the phone. Sometimes I feel like I can’t even talk about action movies with my friends on the phone, because all we talk about is how much we love to see things blow up. The point that I am trying to reach here is that I love my privacy!! Privacy is something that every person should have the right too. If I do not have privacy, or “alone time”, I do not feel like a human being. Instead I feel like I am just a little fish swimming in the open sea where anyone that wants to run into me can because there are no barriers just like phone lines. Phones have been tracked, traced, and tapped for years now, and I just can’t get over it. I am no longer comfortable sharing my thoughts with anyone on the phone. If you want to talk to me, we can meet face to face. I just wish I was 4 again, so I could worry less about invasion of privacy and more about getting my pee in the toilet.
