I never used to take mine with me, I wanted to be left alone. But one night I came home and the lights were off and my pregnant wife and 1st daughter were gone. There was a note on the door that she went into labor and my mother had to take her to the hospital. I started to run a round like a nut trying to clean myself up and get to the hospital, when my wife comes out of the closet and bets me that I'll never leave the phone again. I take it now.
