I don't know, children are crazy. They will say all kind of stuff. I bet some kid did say they didn't want a phone. Another cried because they got a phone the wrong color. And a third asked for a hundred phones to throw at turtles. Yet we don't hear of those two latter kids.

The very stupidest ideas are filtered out by parents "no you aren't getting 100 phones to throw". And the merely mundane ideas are filtered out by newspapers "a kid wanting a green phone isn't newsworthy".
