Hot water with lemon and honey.

Hubs just held his phone up over them. They were sitting on his chair.

Oh. Is your husband tall?

When I was your age, it was much more difficult to communicate with friends. One telephone attached to the wall in the kitchen was it. You had no privacy and the time when you were actually together, face to face, was never wasted... full of important things to talk about before the bus came.

Today, it's so much easier to communicate, like right now we are across the country talking with others! It's amazing! The problem is that sometimes easy things are taken for granted. And sometimes it's hard to really understand what someone is trying to say when you can't see their face. True friends won't take you for granted. And true friends will be forgiving and understand that communicating in this format makes it easy to misinterpret things.

heehee once I turned 12 I had my own phone in my bedroom....but it wasn't its own line. There was still a huge chance of parents picking up...or listening in...or all of the above.

And when I was an older teenager the internet made lots of loud noises and took over an hour to download a single song.

Honestly, I hate the expectation of being constantly connected. I feel like there can be no work/life balance if you can be connected 24/7...or any balance. It's always good to be able to shut off for a while...but that's not understood anymore.

That is very unthoughtful of them. Sorry but so many people are so self centered. Just be the best that you can be. You will attract the right people.

Amen

I do too. Hate when I feel like I have to respond to someone right away.
