Hey so I got canceled on 2nite for bbysittin, Need a sitter?
from a 480 phone number, Saturday, July 23, 3:48 PM EST

Just think how much easier the Babysitters Club's job would have been if cell phones had been invented. For one thing, they wouldn't have had to always meet in Claudia's messy-ass room, just because she was the only one with her own phone line. For another, their clients could have scheduled sitting jobs all the time, instead of just having to call between 5:30 and 6:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays (and probably getting a busy signal). They could have run the whole business through an online sign-up form. The books would have been extremely more boring, but those seven girls would have totally raked in the cash.
