Most nights that I'm at home, my son is sound asleep in the next room. To avoid waking him up, I put my phone into silent mode faithfully every night at 9pm and, subsequently, miss a whole lot of calls and text messages. That's bad for two reasons:

1. I miss what could potentially be important information or, as in most cases, good times.
2. It makes me look like a jerk who never answers his phone and ignores his friends.
