I Heart You(r iPhone)
So this past weekend I'm in a stall in the JCPenney's bathroom when I hear the door open and I hear an older woman/teenage girl pair come in. They enter the stalls on either side of me and proceed with their conversation.
Older Woman: That's great! It really sounds like he loves you.And I thought to myself that while there were some kernels of truth to the older woman's words, is that the wisdom I would want to give to a teenage girl today? A girl who obviously thinks love means being allowed to hold someone else's iPhone? I realize that views on romantic love are always skewed during the melodramatic teen years, but isn't this a chance to discuss that love is more than sharing personal electronic devices? Maybe I'm crazy.
Teenager: I mean, yeah. He definitely loves me. Like the other day he actually let me hold his iPhone for him.
Older Woman: That's great! That's how you do it. Boys are funny like that. You just have to show them they can trust you and give them a little affection and then it's awesome.
