Hee. It sounds like she called his bluff. That's a cool daughter you have.

Honestly, I understand where he's coming from, but this is something he'll just have to get over. Maybe you can spin it a little and complement him on how he encouraged her to be independent and work for her cell phone (like he did it on purpose). Maybe say how she takes after her dad--if he has a stubborn/workaholic trait or if he likes gadgets.

Sometimes when my DH has made a bone-head move instead of rubbing it in his face I try to look at the positives. It usually makes me feel better and he ends up thinking I believe he can do no wrong. Win-win.
