His mother, a blogger named Janelle Hofmann, wrote up an 18-rule contract for the 13-year-old. If he doesn't obey each line item, his phone will be taken away.

"Merry Christmas! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone," her letter began. "Hot Damn! You are a good & responsible 13 year old boy and you deserve this gift. But with the acceptance of this present comes rules and regulations."

 

Greg initially felt (of course) embarrassed.

"Oh my God. My first reaction was, 'Why? Why did she really have to do this?'" he told Good Morning America.

But the rules his mother provided are actually good etiquette tips all iPhone users should abide by.
