Soft Pharaoh Gets Daughter an IPhone...
Alright, I caved in.
For years I was adamant; my daughter was not going to get a cell phone until she was in high school (in two years), period! No questions! No exceptions!
In other words, my heart was hardened, like pharaoh in the Old Testament when the plagues kept afflicting Egypt but noooo way was he about to give in to Moses; that snot nose, who was like a brother to him growing up but then betrayed him by becoming the leader of the Israelites! (It helped that my wife was on the same page!)
However, a funny thing happened at the beginning of the year. First of all, my daughter earned first honors again last semester, for the third time in last two years (the first time, I took her to the One Direction concert!) and her 13th birthday was fast approaching.
