One day, I got home very hungry. My wife was
around so I asked her to give me some food. She gave me our local
delicacy of eba and soup to go with it. I jumped into the meal hungrily but in
the middle of it, my soup finished. My wife was in the kitchen so I asked her
to help me with some more soup and while I waited, I picked up eba in my hands,
ready to go once the soup came. I was so hungry.
About five minutes later, she was still in the
kitchen and my soup was nowhere in sight. I called out to her but there was no
response. The eba in my hands had caked and become messy. I stood up and walked
into the kitchen.
There was my wife, busily chatting or pinging (or whatever
you want to call it) – she was so focused on the phone that she didn’t hear me
come in.
In anger, I grabbed the phone and smashed it
on the floor. Not satisfied that it was broken, I used my foot to smash it even
more. I was so angry that it took everything in me not to pick up the smashed
phone and throw at something. I walked out of the kitchen and abandoned my half-eaten
meal on the dining table.
She didn’t speak to me for days but I didn’t
care. She’s always so distracted by her phone that having conversations with
her is not the easiest thing as she’ll be chatting to ten people while you’re
talking to her. And it’s not like those chats are meaningful ones – sharing
dumb jokes and all kinds of trash. Well, I made my point that fateful day and
after she got over what I did to her phone, she adjusted her habits; now, she
pays more attention to the people around her and less to her phone.”

I think you should have sent her a chat to get you more soup. May be that is her learning style.
