It's much more likely to have died out because of smartphones

I know kids have a lot more money these days but I refuse to believe they are swinging two smartphones together instead of conkers.

I would like to introduce you to my six year old.

Mind you, it's much more likely the two phones involved would be mine and my wife's.
