Might as well just eat cereal at home if you're not going to talk to each other.

We did not have these potential, you know, issues like predators on roadblocks, you know, like these sextortion rings and everything that's going on right now is so scary.

You know, you and I both spoke about this initiative called Wait Until Eighth Grade.

And it's where, for the audience that's not aware of this, it is a pledge within your school that you will wait on a smartphone for your kid until they're in the eighth grade.

And we signed that pledge and you told me you guys did too.

Why do you think that's important?

Yeah, and that's the, yeah, yeah.

And Nicole, that's the thing, right?

You know, as adults, I mean, you and I both work in social media.

I'm connected with Paria.
