If you give a child a phone, he’ll smile for your pictures.
If he smiles for the pictures,you’ll have a happy momma.
The momma will be happy and the baby happy, unless you take it away… So you’ll let him play with it for a little longer.
When he looks at all the buttons, he’ll push them and call someone from your contact list.
When he calls someone from your contact list, you’ll stumble through an explanation that you didn’t mean to call them—your son did the dialing.
And when you try to explain, they’ll think you’re an idiot. Which will only confirm reality.
When you hang up the phone, your child will look longingly for the device you now hold in your hand.
And chances are if you give the child the phone again, he will smile for your pictures.
