Me and Mr. Droid…
Yes, once again it is storytime at The Little Brown House. Grab a cup of coffee and some kleenex
cause it might get messy..
I blessed myself with a phone upgrade in February -
Can I get a Holla!!
I went through weeks of hand wringing trying to decide which one to get -
If I should switch plans so I could get an IPhone, or if I should go with the
new Droid my plan offered. Well I decided on a Droid and never looked back.
Yes – I became the proud owner of Mr. Droid. Whom I quickly fell in love with
and came to depend on. Notice how I have shown him here with a scarf
that compliments his tan? I realize that he is a little bit blurry, but that is
only because he is too modest to accept praise and
be the center of attention. The little doll!
So – I faithfully carry him on my person at all times. He not only lets me know about
my appointments and sends calls my way, he also allows me to go online
and check up on random things such as Facebook, Ebay, and Amazon.
Three places I frequent. He also has a cute little way of letting me know
when I get a comment from one of you – he says, in his low velvety voice- DROID...
Which always brings a thrill to my heart.
So, about a month ago, I was dressed super cute in my jeans
(go here to hear about my jeans) Drama In The Dressing RoomAnd one of those cute little swing jackets in yellow.
I had Mr. Droid with me right inside the jackets slit pocket.
I went into the bathroom and began to take my jacket off so that
I could <ahem> go potty.
Next thing I know there is a plop – and I see the elegant Mr. Droid
floating in a sea of toilet water (untainted at least)
I snatched him out and ran to the kitchen. Where I always go when
I have a problem. I proceeded to take him apart to dry and keep him
from drowning – I put my thumbs on his tiny little chest and performed
DPR (you know – Droidiopulmonary resuscitation)
But all to no avail.. So I called up the insurance company – of course I had
insurance – he meant everything to me- and they overnighted me a new Droid.
It was a tough thing to go through, 24 hours without him, but I did it and I think
it made our relationship even stronger. Or so I thought…
And then came last Thursday…
He was obviously not as happy with our relationship as I was.. He made
a desperate dive for freedom in a washing machine full of sheets…(warm water, cotton setting, Tide)
I can only believe
he felt too loved by me and was afraid of somehow letting me down,
so he choose to sacrifice himself..
He was in the front pocket of my cute little denim jacket when he made his tragic leap.
I always thought he looked good in denim…..
This time I took him apart even faster, and did as the emergency room suggested
and put him in a bowl of dry rice overnight. Sounded strange to me but I
was desperate to save my little buddy. But once again, it failed.
And once again, I called the insurance company. Yes, I needed a replacement for
the second time in two months.. so they sent him out again, and last night my BFF
the Fed-Ex guy brought him home to The Little Brown House..
Where he belongs..
The first time I heard him say “Droid” a tear came to my eye.
I believe I have talked him down off the ledge, but I will have him
on suicide watch for awhile – he is not allowed withing 6 feet of water.
But I realize – relationships are like that.. you have to work through things,
gain trust.. come to realize how much you mean to each other and believe..
that you are together for life. Or at least until the two year contract is up.
So that is my story – I hope you enjoyed it, and I understand if you found yourself
misting up over it. Love stories have that effect on all of us…
It doesn’t end with happiness on all sides, however. The insurance company
is no longer accepting my calls……

I have never heard of a droid before you spoke of it.
Clearly, I am not cool enough for one!

Oh my! I love the insurance, love the insurance. I am looking at that same upgrade as you, and possibly getting a Droid. Good to know about the water… lots of cell phones can recover from suicidal swimming but apparently Droids can’t. Sorry about your fails but I loved your story!
