We have a 26 month old foster son in our home. He always plays with the lovely Mrs_Bob's phone. I never let him play with mine.
Thanks to the Daily Wire we know that not all news is bad news. Some is just plain old funny news. Got to appreciate the fact that the kid also is a good tipper too.

‘That’s What Heroes Do’: Two-Year-Old Steals Mom’s Phone, Orders 31 Cheeseburgers

A Texas toddler stole his mother’s unlocked phone to play with it, and she thought nothing of it — until the DoorDash delivery driver showed up at her home with 31 McDonalds cheeseburgers.
Kelsey Golden shared a photo of her two-year-old son Barrett along with his ill-gotten gains — grinning from ear to ear —and advertised “free cheeseburgers.”
“I have 31 free cheeseburgers from McDonald’s if anyone is interested. Apparently my 2 yr old knows how to order doordash,” she captioned the photo.
Golden explained the incident to CNN, saying that when Barrett grabbed the phone, she hadn’t been terribly concerned.
“He likes to look at his reflection,” she said, noting that when he has taken her phone before, he has used the camera to look at himself rather than trying to find games to play or videos to watch.
But he didn’t appear to be using the camera this time. Instead, Golden said that he “starts pressing the screen, swinging it around like his arm is a roller coaster.”
Golden still was not overly worried until she got a notification from DoorDash saying that her order was taking longer than expected. Since she occasionally orders from the food delivery app for her other children when they need lunch at school, Golden called to check — and was told that they were eating the lunches she had packed for them.
The mystery was not solved until the DoorDash driver arrived, giant McDonalds bag in hand, and announced, “31 cheeseburgers.”
Golden told CNN that her first thought was that they had the wrong house. “Then it dawned on me that Barrett was playing with my phone,” she said. “I went back and looked at my phone and an order was placed at that time that he was playing with my phone. I thought, oh my gosh, he really did this.”
She posted the photo on Facebook in an effort to offload the toddler’s booty, noting that in an ironic twist, no one in her family even liked cheeseburgers.
“One woman came by, she was pregnant and wanted six of them. No judgment,” Golden said.
Barrett’s order totaled over $90 — in part, Golden said, because he had somehow managed to leave a 25% tip.
“That’s what heroes do,” one person responded to the story on Twitter.
“Today we bow our heads and crown a new true BURGER KING,” another added.
“It hurts to see other people living your dreams,” New Republic’s Grace Segers commented.
