Did I tell you I manipulated my dad into buying me a new phone?
Why did you have to manipulate him?
I just wanted to play with the new one.
You should never manipulate people into giving you something. New phones are expensive and all because you want to play a few games. You should explain to your dad why you did what you did and apologize.
I'd rather not say anything to him.
It's not good to get into the habit of manipulating people. If you love and respect your dad, you should apologize and offer to cancel the contract or pitch in to help pay for the phone.
