Who is They?
Recently, on an idyllic evening when the family was gathered by the fire eating carry out Chinese, Kristin realized that she had misplaced her mobile phone. She dialed her mobile number from our home phone and then we asked the girls to listen for a ring. After a few seconds, the girls jumped up and raced into the kitchen in search of the muffled but easily recognizable sound of Kristin’s mobile phone ringing. Amelia reached it first, grabbed it from beneath a coat and, as she turned to make her way back to the fireside, lost her grip on the phone and sent it skittering across the kitchen floor. Amelia received a stern reminder to be gentler with Mom’s phone. “But Mom,” she explained plaintively, “I was trying to race it back to your before they hung up!” (Even better, the entire episode was recorded because she had also inadvertently answered the phone when she dropped it.)
