Today, I was at a restaurant with my kids. I told my 13 year old about how the very first time she said she loved me. She was 2 and it was at this very restaurant. I told her the details and even started tearing up a little. She didn't even look up from her cell phone and said, "That's fab, ma." FML

I'm only a year older than OP's daughter, and I would have probably gushed all about it! :') Am I the only one who loves hearing stories about their childhood?

I didn't get my first cell phone until I was 13, and I shared that one with my brother. It was only for emergencies. I'm 19 now and I have my own phone with texting, but every time I leave college to visit home there are no phones allowed at the table. And if my mom told that story to me while tearing up I'm pretty sure I'd start crying too. I've just always been that way.

Kids say, "That's fab, ma"? That phrase sounds very 80s.

Right, because there are no responsible teens out there. *Please don't start with the Gen. Y bashing, there are some responsible teens out there.

Wait 7 more years to tell her the story again and maybe she'll care

Why does your 13 year old have a cell phone anyways? Who she gonna call? Dora because she cant find her way home? This generation is way to reliable on technology..

What conceivable reason is there for a thirteen year old to have a phone in the first place? I mean honestly. It's not like she's driving to work. Or paying bills. Or anything difficult. Tell her she needs to get a job, pay her bills and then she can say "that's fab, ma" to your story.-and get rid of her phone. It's rude to txt while on a family outing, or dinner. And she's to young for a phone. And people complain about THIER children, look at how they are being raised. :(

Why would you need a phone to drive or pay bills? I mean honestly.

Bc. If she's paying her bills she can pay for the damn phone. And if she is driving around her parents can track her since she has a phone, then she can't go around and act like a ****.

Teenagers... I hope she won't be looking on her phone when she learns to drive.
