00:00It's interesting in my house obviously because obviously a lot of kids, I live in a cul-de-sac
00:05basically and sometimes you see a couple of kids in the cul-de-sac out there with their
00:09iPhones out there watching YouTube kids while they're playing outside and I think that it's
00:13a bit, you know, children still got to be children.
00:16Well it's technology isn't it? It's what it's all about these days isn't it? You know, what's
00:22the fault of kiddies? They're about four hundred, five hundred pounds some of them.
00:26Yes, my grandson's 12, my youngest one, he's 12 and my oldest grandson, he's 23 and he's
00:32never off his phone, he's always on his phone even when I'm trying to talk to him.
00:36Yes, what's that? What are you doing? Yes, that.
00:39And I say, what's that? Yes, that, let me see.

00:47like a child you should be like out and trying to, you know, playing with friends, going
00:54to playgrounds and not stuck at home inside on smartphones.
