My brother was so sad and we didn’t know why until he told us it was his birthday, but we decided to throw him a small family party.

On the fourth day, as soon as my birthday brother woke up we surprised him with a small party and some cup cakes that made him so happy and we spent six hours playing games and partying, and we totally forgot what happened the day before. However, our phones were in the box and we wanted to take them back, so we talked with our dad to let us use our phones in the house but with a limited time.

At the end, my dad gave us our phones and we learned very well how to manage our time between using our phones and sitting together as a family. We are all thankful to what my father did to make us close to each other. Right now every one of us is living in a differing place, but we always talk to each other and we know a lot about each other. Being at home without phones made us know each other more than before, and it made us think together how to solve problems as a one family and appreciate one
