It seems that the above quote is a bit inconsistent.  If I am free to have my 
opinion and my opinion is that a cell phone should be a part of everyone's 
first aid kit then. of course, you are free to have another opinion but mine is 
still mine.  In any case, I will do what I will do and you can do what you 
want to do.

As far as April goes, she can do what she wants.  If she feels better 
bringing a cell phone for whatever reason (to alleviate the fear that her mother has) 
then she has her right to do so.  

As for me, I am bringing my cell phone to communicate with friends and 
family.  If a first aid instance requires outside help then it will be handy.
