When my parents are on the phone,
it usually makes me feel like really bored and like makes me want to do something
because I don't really have anything to do
and I'm kind of just like sitting there and like watching them on the phone.
And what do you think about the amount of time that dad and I.
Spend on the phone?
Well, I think like when they had landlines and stuff,
you wouldn't spend too much more time on the phone and you would spend it on other,
other types of devices.
But now since it's all in the phone,
so you wouldn't really be seeing like your parents like on a computer.
You'd only see them doing that for like work or something.

Who's the meanest to you about it?
