How can I get my dad to buy me a new phone?

Question

Well, I am currently using a Motorola Razor V3 (which, by the way, SUCKS!) and it is starting to c**p out on me. Certain buttons only work some of the time, it locks up, etc. Anyway, I'm not due to get a new phone from my service provider (AT&T) for like a year and a half, but my dad is completely not going anywhere on getting me a new phone. I would get a job and make some money for things like that but I'm to young to have a job... So, any tips in the art of convincing...?

Answer 1

Accidently, drop it in the toliet (fell out of my pocket) , set it on fire (instantaneous combustion), put it in the microwave (thought it was popcorn) are some that come to mind.
