Granddad and Gracie's Separation

Once upon a time, there was a brown bolt granddad named Bernie and his granddaughter named Gracie. They were the best of friends and loved spending time together.

Bernie and Gracie both had smartphones and loved to be on social media. They would take funny pictures, share videos, and talk to their friends online.

One day, their phones started acting funny. The screens flickered, and the batteries drained quickly. They couldn't use their phones anymore!

Gracie felt sad because she couldn't talk to her friends or see their pictures. Bernie felt sad too because he loved sharing funny videos with Gracie.

But then, Bernie had an idea! He said to Gracie, 'Let's take a break from our phones and spend some quality time together. Maybe we'll discover new things to enjoy.'

So, Bernie and Gracie put their phones away and went for a walk in the park. They played catch, fed the ducks, and even had a picnic.

During their time without phones, Bernie and Gracie realized how much they missed each other's company. They talked, laughed, and made memories that would last forever.

After a while, their phones started working again. But this time, Bernie and Gracie didn't spend as much time on social media. Instead, they enjoyed being present in each other's lives.

From that day on, Bernie and Gracie understood the importance of balancing technology with real-life experiences. They continued to make memories together, cherishing every moment they spent.
