cordless phone range? forget it -how about "mom range"?

Called a friend of mine today and she was getting ready to walk out the door. she grabbed her husbands lunch, her toddler etc. and the conversation continued. All of a sudden she said - "I wondered why my phone was loosing the signal". She had walked out the door on the cordless phone and was driving down the street before she realized it. Of course I didn't admit this but I so did this about 4 weeks ago.

Running out the door...... again.
