Hopefully it shant be causing any further problems, and my daughter will stop bickering about her lack of internet.

oh thats good

Indeed it is.

Rose seems to have developed quite a temper since the storm that caused the damage in the first place.

But her precious internet is back (despite the fact that she has decided to spend her time reading rather than making use of it).

And the lights have stopped flickering, which I suppose one would consider an adequate bonus.

man thats great

she should appreciate it

I do so hope she does.

Although- and I hope you'll forgive me for saying so- but prior experience has me... a tad doubtful.

understandable but dont worry

To be perfectly honest with you, dear, it's quite a challenge not to be.

why

Oh, I don't think that's a talk that I should burden my little angel's friends with. My worries should be no concern of yours, petal.

My apologies, I shouldn't have raised the issue.

well ok

Well, with any luck she'll be over her... self imposed internet ban (or whatever she's decided it is) soon.

whyd she do that

I haven't a clue what goes through my precious Rose's head.

You'd think that that the logical course of action, once presented with something you've been pining over for almost weeks-

Would be to make use of the fact that you once again have access to it, yes?

But that doesn't seem to be the case here.

dont worry shes just backwards like that

i dont really get it either

It's hard not to worry, sometimes.

I just wish she'd actually come down and talk to me, rather than spending day after day up there in her room, alone.

tell her that

Well, I have before.. I'm either ignored, or told to let her make her own decisions.

Which, I agree, is entirely within her right. But... I don't know. I think it's just a bit...

Unhealthy?

yeah i dunno i tried to get her to open up too

i tried to make a deal but

she ended up locking in again anyway

How unfortunate. I thought she'd have the sense to listen to her dear friends, seeing as she's never really listened to me.

I'm sorry it ended up that way- it's admirable that you bothered to try, though.

For what it's worth- I appreciate it, if she doesn't.

hi mom!

oh um, rose's mom.

you're not MY mom hehe.

Why, hello there, my dear.

And don't worry- you may refer to me as whatever you like.

How have you been, John?

gee thanks! how're you?

I'm doing quite well, petal. Thank you for asking.

oh, i'm good! thanks for asking!

hehe we keep saying the same thing.

Great minds think alike, my dear.

That's what I think this is.

yes!!!!!!!! that's totally it.

Mom, as I've already asked you before can you please refrain from speaking with my friends.

aw but your mom is nice, rose!

You don't have to live with her.

she really doesnt seem that bad
