OT: Kids These Days , How spoiled are they?

Just an off topic anecdote to take our minds off the depressing news about our show ending.
The other day I was tasked with taking my 9 year old cousin back to school shopping . Im thinking her parents would give me maybe 100-200 bucks to supervise her with. No. Her dad(My uncle) gives me 700 bucks and told me to let her purchase what she wants within reason.Not only did she spend the entire 700 bucks on new stuff, clothes, supplies etc, he texts me that day asking me if I have the quickpay app so he could send me more money to spend for her if necessary.Not only that but Im amazed by how many THINGS she has.
She has an Iphone at nine years old. Her own widescreen TV. A laptop, and desktop computer . A tablet , an Amazon Echo and a smartwatch. I don't have 1/4 of those things.
And I thought my dad spoiled me when I was a kid.

Touche'. I don't understand the "Again?". I didn't argue the point after your original reply.

I wasn't referring to this event. It was "again?" where my memory of events/dialogue/etc from a show - in particular, Star Trek - was better than yours.

Ah, okay. I respect that. I am not embellishing at all when I say that you are the first and only person I've ever met who can make that claim. When the first Star Trek Trivia game came out, I wasn't allowed to play past our first game. I salute yu.
