Go Back to All Miscellaneous Resources “Look at this excavator, Lola!” I see nothing but brown eyes on my FaceTime screen. More often than not, the ceiling fan fills the screen, but my grandson is talking to me, and I’m delighted to hear his little voice. I keep my face fixed to my phone screen so that he will know his grandmother is listening to every word.
