Transcript

I got an email the other day from Berkeley school and they were like just wanna let you know that we found Berkeley on her phone. Phones are not allowed but I was like I know I know we were texting and I was like I know listen I'm a terrible parent. Okay, but sometimes you have to text your kid. Okay, sometimes they have to text you. You damn I'm gonna get mad at her because she was on her phone in the bathroom. Absolutely not. Because we were talking. So I was like, oh thanks things. Good thing you caught it. I don't know. I'm the worst parent. Or the best. It depends who you is.
