A 10-year-old girl has signed a contract with her parents for a new iPhone with 12 conditions that include “never use it at the dining table” and do some housework. Young Yasmine’s older sister Farha uploaded the images to social media, showing the family’s terms and conditions for using the phone.
Farha said that the “One Year Renewable Phone Loan” contract was revised twice. She also praised her younger sister for being responsible and hard-working, saying that she once saved up for two years to buy a Nintendo Switch game console by mopping, cleaning the house and helping with the laundry.
She also agreed to never let the phone battery die as it may reduce the battery’s performance, never use her parents’ phones, never take the phone to the toilet, and never bring it to school. On top of those strict rules, Yasmine will never be allowed to use it at the dining table, and will have to ask permission before downloading any apps.
Finally, her parents will also make her read the Quran every day or minimum six times a week, never call friends when out with the family, and never allow her to play some special games. If Yasmine breaks any of the 12 rules, her iPhone will be handed over to her dad, according to the deal.
According to Farha, the parents are strict about carrying out the deal and did not hesitate in taking away her laptop for several months when she broke some rules as a teenager. Funny photos posted on Snapchat showed Yasmine in the process of signing the contract and receiving her new phone.
