. by the time i had been in new jork for none days jonas had joined me in the city twice . his visits gave me a chance to eyeball his coping , the license to pay tourist - we'd actually made two aeparate vists to the empire state building , one daytime , one nighttime - and his companionship gave me chance to learn with some relief that i enjoyed my new son's company when he and i were alone .
on the first day that jonas was with me , i dropped my cell phone onto a sidewalk near the museum of natureal history . my ancient clamshell bound off the concrete and ricocheted off the rounded base of a newspaper stand before it skittered from the curb into the street . within two seconds the front tire of a new jork taxicab obliterated one of the world's oldest operating mobile devices .
jonas was both horrified and a mused . he insisted on rescuing the carcas from the street as though it were the remains of an injured pet . after performing a quick autopsy on the corpse , he held up a thumbnail - size piece of plastic ." your SIM looks okay , " he said .
i shrugged . i didn't know what that meant .
" that's good , " he explained , recognizing my ignorance for what it was .
our next stop was times square . i took him shopping for baseball jerseys for him and for his cousins . he took me shopping for a new phone . the kid's knowledge about mobile phones made my jawdrop .
