A few years ago, my old flip phone broke for the last time. I walked into an AT&T store and asked the guy for some help. He promptly showed me the newest iPhone, and I decided to try it out and see if it worked for me.

After three months with the iPhone, I returned it to the store and purchased another flip phone. My daughter asked me why I didn’t have a cool phone like some other mothers. I told her, “I did have a smartphone for a few months.” She looked at me curiously and asked, “So why don’t you still have it?”

I smiled at her and answered honestly, “I realized I was paying more attention to it than I was to you! So I gave it back.”
