Phone Addiction

I went to see a movie in a theater for the first time since before the pandemic. I took the kids to see The Little Mermaid, which they loved.

I was impressed with the cast but it’s not my kind of movie...and this isn’t a movie review.

I noticed that I was DYING to check my phone every few minutes—which, in a darkened theater, was inappropriate.

Like so many of us, I’m in the terrible habit of frequently checking my phone while watching a movie or TV show at home.

I was relieved when one of my girls dropped something and I had an excuse to turn on the phone and use its light to check the floor (and my email).

I’m so ashamed!

No, really—I resent what this gadget has done to my brain.
