Where's My Phone? Have you seen my phone, dad? Sorry, I haven't. I've looked everywhere, and I'm late for school. You're always losing your phone! You should keep it in your bag. I try to do that, but sometimes I forget. Did you look under the blanket and the cushions on the couch? That's where it was the last time. I did, and it's not there or anywhere in the living room. I checked all the furniture. What about the bathroom upstairs? I remember you left your phone next to the bathtub once. And another time, I found it in the sink.

I looked there, too. Hmm. Didn't you put it in a kitchen drawer once? It might be there. I already checked all the drawers and cupboards.I even looked in the garage and the backyard. Have you been downstairs this morning? It might be in the basement. No, I haven't been downstairs all morning. Well, I'll call your phone right now, and maybe we'll be able to hear it. Thanks. Um, Sadie, I think your bag's ringing.
