Kids today have cell phones because pay phones aren't around like they used to be. At 9 or 10 back in the 1970s I knew how to work a pay phone to call home. You can't find a pay phone that easily any more. A cell phone is the modern equivalent and serves the same purpose. Besides, in a lot of these cases, the kids don't have a phone because they're spoiled--it's for the convenience of the parents, so they can stay in touch with the kids.

Dear people asking "Am I the only one that thinks that the child is too young to have a phone?", no! You're not, so please stop commenting the same thing over and over again, it's getting super annoying!

I do hope you didn't come home that night.

But she's saying she loves u by waiting LOL my kid would have laughed and said we ain't waiting for dad. Only customer he could get off at five r ten LOL so anyways my point is its just that age. She loves you. Its just not "Cool" to tell u

I guess if today is her birthday, she's no longer soon to be 12. She is 12. Good luck. It won't get better for awhile.

you got her a phone when she was 11....

Why does she have a cell phone?

She's practicing to be a teenager. Better get used to it'

Screw the bitch, get her nothing.

Relax, i'm sure she loves you as well, it's just that some of us find it too mushy to express ourselves...
