Timmy: Ouch! Mum, I’ve got a really bad pain in my neck!

Mum: (annoyed) Well, you’ve been glued to your phone for hours.

Timmy: (sadly) But I’m doing important things—reading and learning...

Mum: And chatting and playing games, too?

Timmy: (reluctantly) Yes, but not that much...

Mum: Timmy, pass me your phone. I think it needs to charge for a few hours.

Timmy: But I’m in the middle of a...book.

Mum: A book or a game? Hmm. Perhaps I should send you to Grandpa’s house. You can stay away from your phone for a few days.

Timmy: What? Mum, no! You can’t!
