8:53 pm
to read off it as yet in your own opposing, i think the trend is exponential. the further we get a of the longer the screen time gets from one generation to the next her for him. oh, it wasn't easy with lou anne, but it's even more complicated with victoria to this because she's a ready using take talk with diana. so compa precommit deepest killer, sometimes she's in her room while i'm doing something else. so i imagine that she is playing or reading. but in reality, she has my phone or i pad in hand her off at all. hello, won't to defer late, but it's not the same as having a t v in the middle of the room where you can see exactly what she's watching. it's much more in said u. s. s. yes, it feels that his greens have really invaded our lives and on everywhere were in every room of the house. and then i mean, oh so it's much harder to control. ha, a call 20. ready
8:54 pm
