Had this exact exchange with my 13yo son yesterday! Older siblings have them but received them when they turned 16. When I told him I got my first cellphone when I was 24 a fear washed over his face cause now he saw the leverage shift. Yes, we establish at 16yo you “might” get a phone BUT It could be as late as 24yo! Funny how the conversation ended when he realized he needed to reevaluate his strategy.

Awesome this exact thing happened to both of us. I still remember the look on his face when I said 27...!
