Not having kids, I still don't understand this one. Is it about them fitting in with peers who also have phones - expensive ones, too - or is it just some kind of Helicopter-Parent tracking device for their purposes?

Yeah. I was at my brother's house and his Amazon Echo was playing a lullaby whose melody was a slow-tempo tinkly version of Lady Gaga's 'Pokerface'.

Some love ballads work well as a lullaby melody, like John Legend's 'All of me'. Others are a little disturbing if you already know the lyrics, like Hozier's Take me to Church' :stare:

You're missing the point. Things I did when I was a kid were totally functional and not at all dangerous to my development. It's the way kids are parented now that sucks. Duh.

Excuse you but Pnurtis is going to Regionals with that spinner. We bought an artisanal spinner off Etsy for $320 but can you really put a price on your child's whimsy?

If you look at toys' prices now versus around 20 years ago it's pretty ridiculous. Action figures selling for like 16 bux plus tax? I wouldn't have had many action figures as a kid.
