The 57-year-old father of three said on the Today show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their thirteen birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

   “We’ve made a rule in our family that it's 13 when you get a phone. ” He also said as a result his child often returned home from school complaining (抱怨) ， “All the other kids have it. I'm the only without it,it's so embarrassing. ”
