3 generations (I hope this post is ok)

Captured this picture of my dad, my brother and his kid last week.

My nephew turned 11 today, the youngest in our family, and I think he’s the only one who doesn’t get glued to his phone. My other nieces and nephews (and their parents) are scrolling all the time.

Mostly uses it for communicating, I think he face times his mom who lives out of state. When he’s not using it he sets it down on the table face down, he doesn’t carry it in his pocket.

The boy is kind of on the spectrum like me, instead of scrolling he likes to play with his soccer ball, ride his electric scooter (I like to ride my motorcycle with him) and he loves practicing archery in my backyard.

Now whenever I feel like I can’t put down my phone I try to think about this kid. I bet his screen time is abysmal. Don’t have or want any kids of my own but I feel like he’s my little hope in humanity and just wanted to share.
