I finally gave in and got an iPhone this spring. I needed to be able to text my friends back quicker, because my old phone was too hard to use. Now that I have a decent phone, I struggle with not checking it when I’m driving. I’ve promised myself that I will never text and drive and that I will not check the phone even when stopped at a light. I see other people texting and driving all the time, and I’ve seen my friends do it. (I will tell them to cut it out.) Even though texting and driving is illegal almost everywhere, it’s hard to resist. I hope I will never do it, and I hope I can teach my son not to text and drive or even check his phone. One moment of not paying attention while you’re driving and you can seriously injure or kill yourself or someone else. Cars are no joke.
Loudmouth Jenny McCarthy apparently told her 12 year-old son, Evan, that it’s illegal to text and drive. The kid took her so seriously that he called the cops on her when he witnessed her doing it. Evan is autistic, and from what I understand people on the autistic spectrum can take things literally and see them in black and white. So what did Jenny do? She threw the kid’s phone out the window.
On her show, Dirty, Sexy, Funny, McCarthy said that one time she was texting a [sic] driving, which has become a big no-no on the road. Her son, well aware of this legal snafu, decided to call the police from his own cell phone to report the crime.
He said to the men in uniform, “‘My mom is texting and driving right now.’ True story.”
Because texting and driving is a huge offense, the TV personality knew there was only one thing she could do not to get arrested or receive a ticket – throw her son’s phone out the window.
She also let told her listeners about the time she snuck out for a cigarette, only to be caught by her law-loving son once again.
“He called 911 and said, ‘I am alone in the house. My mom abandoned me,’” McCarthy said. “I go back in the house and it’s 911 and they’re like, ‘Your child just called. Is there an emergency?’ I’m like, ‘What? No! Everything is fine.’”
Fortunately for the future-Mrs. Wahlberg, she has yet to be obtained [sic] as a result of her son’s complaints.
I get that Jenny needs little anecdotes to tell on her show so she can get press, but this is ridiculous. Yet again she’s violating her son’s privacy by telling an embarrassing story about him. Also, this makes her come across as an a-hole as usual. Her son called the cops so instead of explaining to the 911 operator that he’s autistic, or instead of owning up to her mistake and getting a ticket, she ditched the poor kid’s phone. What kind of lesson is that teaching him? Don’t tell on mommy or you’ll pay and she’ll tell the whole world about it.
The “mommy abandoned me” story sounds like she’s not telling Evan when she’s leaving the house. Even if she’s just popping out to have a smoke, she needs to explain it to him so that he understands.
