The Downfall of Intelligence

I  can already hear the boos if anyone ever reads this...The biggest mistake that I/we made with our boys was getting them cell phones in middle school...We thought waiting until they were 13 was a big deal...
I can remember my niece coming over to visit and help with the babies but the entire time,  every few seconds,ding. click, click, click.giggle, ding. Really? I would say... put that thing away!!

Fast forward to our teen years and now there are earbuds to boot! I detest seeing kids walking around with earbuds in or dangling around their necks... What"s worse, is now there aren't even wires and you talk to them for 5 minutes before you realize you have wasted your breath and you will never get those minutes of your life back.

We have really tried to make the best of this coronavirus  business and are eating together every night then watching a movie together. Good movies. I have had to collect cell phones. They are playing games and sending snap streaks.... which I now know are the stupidest things ever. My sister has decided to send me streaks and everyday sends me a snap of her leg, the fish hanging in the wall or the ceiling all with a hand drawn  S at the top...geesch!

I promise my gifted twins  have lost IQ points since getting a phone. One twin stays up all night now and is sleeping all day.  One kid leaves the house after lock up and can get a ride with the click of a few buttons.... and hes gone.   here is a big but to my arguement. I can get in touch with him. while he's out.

Still, I believe cellphones are making today's kids stupid, and it is bad for the world.  end rant.
