iPhone + Water = Brick

Molly has a problem.  That problem is her phone.  The problem is always her phone.  A few years back, we decided it was time to get new phones and replaced hers.  Well, we replaced hers with the worst phone on this planet. Ever since then, she’s continued to have the worst phone on this planet.  Our conversations usually go something like this:

Molly: HI!
John: Hi!  How are you?
Molly: What?
John:  How are you?!?
Molly: What?
John: Hello?
Molly: Can you hear me?
John: Yes.  I can hear you, can you hear me?
Molly:  Can you hear me?
John: Yes.
Molly: Good. I can hear you too!
John:  Hello?
Molly: Hello?
John: Can you hear me?
Molly: Yes.
John: Can you hear me?
Molly: Yes. Can you hear me?
John: Hello?
Molly:  UGH!  <click>

Anyway, the new iPhone came out and I have thoroughly enjoyed my first iPhone.  Therefore, it was time to upgrade, so I was going to get the newest iPhone and give Molly my faithful iPhone for her enjoyment and for our sanity.

Then this happened:

This is Jack swimming.  He loves to swim.  This is Jack in his new floaty toy.  He loved his new floaty toy:

I was on my way to the pool.  I was carrying stuff and decided to keep my phone in my swimsuit pocket.  When I reached the pool, Jack was in his new toy and was really digging it.  Therefore, I jumped in with my camera (the camera did not get wet and still works) and then 15 minutes later and basically after I had taken all of these pictures:

…I realized my phone was still in my pocket.  It’s an iPhone and therefore no way to take the battery out.  There’s water behind the glass touchscreen… it’s ruined.  Now our conversations will continue to be ridiculous and poor Molly will continue to use her terrible phone.
