When Mrs. Sparks asked her son Allan to buy her a smartphone and teach her how to use it, he refused.
So when his older sister bought their mother one, he was furious because he knew he would have to explain how it works to her.
However, when his sister learned about his tantrum, she surprised him with something he never expected.
“Please, Allan. I want to be up to date,” Mrs.
Sparks begged her son. She wanted to buy a smartphone and smartwatch but needed Allan’s advice on what to buy exactly. “I also want a Facebook.
All my friends are using it.”
However, Allan refused for what seemed like the millionth time. He didn’t want to buy her the gadgets because he would have to explain how they all worked, and she would probably nag him way too often.
Allan was in his 20s and getting his master’s degree at NYU. The program was so challenging that he didn’t have time to work.
Therefore, he moved in with his mother to save on rent.
Meanwhile, his older sister lived a few states away, making him the only person who could teach their mother how to use a smartphone, and it seemed like too much of a hassle for him.
“Mom, if you want to talk to Ruth, I can just set up a FaceTime call. You don’t need those things. It’s too complicated, and I have no time to teach you,” he told his mother, trying to contain his frustration at her request.
The older woman frowned but stopped nagging him for a while.
However, her birthday came up, and some family members gathered at her house. When she opened Ruth’s gift, she discovered a brand-new iPhone and an Apple watch to match it.
