Tech Cat

Dear Elsa,
I see you’ve found my old phone. But you’re not supposed to be playing with phones.  Even old ones.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mum,
It lights up when I touch it just right!!!!! 
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
I shouldn’t have charged it. I just wondered what it had on it. But we might need some rules about phone use.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
It doesn’t need a rule, it turns on by itself.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
I think we need a Don’t Touch rule.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
You have too many rules. Like the Table Rule.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
The Table Rule is a good one. And I follow it too. You don’t see my feet on the kitchen table, do you?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
Charlie doesn’t like that rule.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
True. He mostly ignores it.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
Then there’s the rule against going outside. But there are so many exciting birds and bugs out there!!!!!
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
There’s more than that out there, honey. Between the coyotes and the cars, I have to worry about your safety. That’s why we have the Strictly Indoor Cat Rule. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
We all watch to see if you accidently leave the door open.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
I’m counting on you to be terrified if you ever stepped out the door. Puffin did that once. He came racing right back into safety. I didn’t know that chubby guy could move so fast!  
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum
Well, oh. Can we talk about your phone now? I want to see it light up again.
Love, Elsa
