Related: Culture Forums, Support Forumsat 6:30 yesterday morning, my phone rang and announced my son was calling...
still in the fog of sleep but mildly panicked, I called his phone (was there an accident? anyone get sick?).
My unruffled son (who is a senior prosecutor with the D.A.'s office) answered calmly and I asked What's up?
Oh, he said, his little 19 month old, it seems, got hold of his iPhone and started speed dialing everyone on the screen...including his grandfather and my son's boss (eek!)....OY...
folks, this is what comes of all these newfangled devices! Now my little grandson thinks staring at/typing into a little black thingie is what you do all day, every day, morning to night...hmm, makes you think...

She was 9 months old, and not walking. (She was doing some speed crawling, though.)
She was FURIOUS when I took them away. I fear her future teenage years!
Congratulations on a bright grandchild - daddy will learn.

(53,410 posts)Your son's boss: "You daughter told me you don't give her enough allowance and asked me to help her out."
Your son's secretary: "Your daughter had me send out for pizza delivery", and more scary still, the pizzaman, "Your daughter's running tab has gotten too large so unless you pay it off you can't get any more pizza."
Teacher, "Your daughter called to say she was you and that she's too sick to come to school."
police, "There was a 911 call coming from your residence so we went to investigate..."
neighbor, "Your daughter asked me to unlock the tv shows..."
Precocious children come with their own particular brand of hell.

(11,155 posts)they would use the rotary dial or touch tones and accidentally call a number in Stockholm or some other foreign place.
You son will just be embarrassed at the next office party when his boss brings it up. And you can embarrass you grandson for years to come about his calling you at 19 months.

(63,912 posts)there'll be a bit more 'splainin' in the D.A.'s office Tuesday morning, but who could be mad at an adorable toddler who was playing with Daddy's phone (while Daddy was making his breakfast, letting his mom get extra sleep)? Besides, my son is a damn good prosecutor! (And, btw, strong liberal Dem!).
