cell phone absolutes

I always get a kick out of how self-centered my cell phone is. I don't have a plan; I bought the phone for 39€ and get minutes from a prepaid card. The phone, taking initiative, sends me texts when my minutes start running low. The first text always says this:

"Your credit claims the greatest attention. There is no more than __€."

The greatest attention? Well, okay.

The second text, which is sent after I have used up the card, says this:

"Think about buying a baguette, about brushing your teeth, about not sleeping too late, and about calling 224 to recharge your card."

Well, okay. You dig the priorities of the French? baguettes = hygiene = getting to work on time = having minutes on your cell phone. I dig.
