Blame some app!..... What ever happened to parenting???

"Blame some app!..."

Who is to blame when the parents give their kid that "smartphone" in the first place?!

We got in enough trouble when we were kids WITHOUT phones at all... (and all of that was local...)

We did something similar in the schoolyard in the early 50s loooong before cell phones. It involved taking deep breaths, having someone wrap there arms tightly around your middle and doubling you over for a bit. Upon release, one would be disoriented and possibly faint. Told my Dad about it and he went through the roof. The next day myself and one or two other kids put the kibosh on the practice. That fad lasted about one lunchtime...possibly two, but it stopped as quickly as it started.
