    Parents Are Reacting To A Letter Written By A Second Grader Who Wishes Cell Phones Weren't Invented

    "I hate my mom's phone and I wish she never had one."

    When Louisiana second-grade teacher Jen Adams Beason asked her students to write about an invention they wished was never was made, one student's surprisingly heartfelt response went viral.

    The second grader wrote, "I hate my mom's phone and I wish she never had one."

    The response included a drawing of a phone with an "X" through it and a sad face saying, "I hate it."

    Seeing the letter really hit home for a lot of people.

    And put things into perspective for a lot of parents.

    Mainly people were just encouraging others to put their phones down.

    What a good reminder to us all! Thanks, kiddo.
