"I'm sorry Momma."
*Thinks a little and tries to explain why i was upset you took
my phone*
"Sighssss i know i was wrong Momma, and your right i do know
better. I was upset when you took my phone because like, it's
the only way i got to keep in touch with everyone from back home
since we moved here and it felt like you were cutting me off
from the completely, but i get it was my fault Momma, really"

"Mmm," I answer quietly when Willa explains where her mind was
when I took her phone. "Well, I can understand that,
Sweetheart." I bite back the urge to re-explain my reasons for
taking the phone. I know she understands them completely and
isn't trying to argue.
"Unfortunately, honey, I can't promise I'll never take your
phone from you. It's a natural consequence for some times, like
what happened this afternoon. And if you don't want it to happen
then you've got to be extra mindful of the rules surrounding the
phone. Can you think of a way the situation this afternoon might
have been avoided?"

*Nods at Momma when she says she can't promise that i'll never
lose my phone if i break the rules*
"I know Momma. I should have left my phone in my room, or at
least sat it outta reach while we was talkin so that i wasn't
tempted to play with it, or even just switched it off while we
talked."

"Mhm," I answer Willa's ideas. "And if you were texting someone
from home at the time, you could have let them know that you
were needed and you'd talk to them in a few minutes."

*Nods my head*
"Yes Momma."
*Smiles slightly as think on who i was texting, Janey having
been my best friend and partner in crime since we started
school*
"Janey says Hi by the way! And yeah, janey would have
understood i just didn't think Momma"

"She would have and probably known what the consequences would
be if you didn't listen, too," I point out with a slight laugh.

"Yes, she does." I pause and then ask, "honey, you're really
missing home a lot, huh?"

As I listen to my daughter I gently stroke her hair. When she's
finished I tell her, "I miss it too, honey. But different isn't
always a bad thing," I point out. "And missing what was doesn't
mean not liking what is, either. You don't have to feel bad for
missing how things were. A lot has changed and needing time to
adjust to that change isn't a bad thing."
