Went out with Miniest today and she accidentally left her phone on the bus. That's what I reckon anyway after I tracked it via "find my phone" and figured it was basically following the 513/514 bus route to Greensborough. Interesting seeing it moving around. Have secured it remotely, but luckily it's a dirt cheap ZTE Optus prepaid phone and not something more expensive, why would anyone steal it lol. That's why you don't give your kids an expensive phone. She's pretty upset but I'm like hey we'll call lost property tomorrow, nothing we can do right now. It's a good lesson to you to be more careful with things. Luckily it's not an expensive lesson. She's got the same haphazard mercurial nature as her father, but she's a better learner! Elder's like me, checks things several times and then checks again. There comes a time when I have to say to myself, "Right, I've got my keys, I've got my phone, I've got my purse" in order to break the cycle of obsessive checking.
