0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11.
0:11.0	Nicole, welcome to the program.
0:14.0	What can I do for you?
0:16.0	Well, I need to know what to say in response to a text from my sister or whether I should just leave it or alive.
0:25.0	So this is what happened. My dad and mom took my daughter to visit my brother sister and their son and my daughter took a very expensive doll with her that came back damaged.
0:37.0	And their son had had a friend over and they had hit it all and they later admitted to my dad that they had punched it with a pen.
0:46.0	And I just, I don't know what to do or what how to make it better.
0:57.0	I'm sorry. What do you mean you don't know how to make it better? I don't understand what you mean by that.
1:04.0	Well, my sister, you're taking, you're taking some responsibility about making something better.
1:12.0	Something was done to your daughter's doll. They're supposed to make it better.
1:20.0	Well, that is where the problem lies is that do tell.
1:25.0	They're on the defensive now and what do you mean on the defensive?
1:31.0	Well, can I read the text that she found that you know that would be magnifical read the text.
1:38.0	Okay, it's lengthy. So bear with me. No, honey. I want to hear every syllable.
1:44.0	Okay. Hi, I'm going to be honest with you. Due to recent circumstances over the doll incident, it is, is it Reagan or you who wants to talk to Andrew?
1:53.0	Never has Reagan ever wanted to talk to Andrew. And yes, I'm on the defensive here.
1:57.0	I'm not trying to say that. As you would be if your daughter was under attack and being accused without proof for something she didn't do. I know how tricky it can be with family and I'm not trying to start an argument.
2:08.0	I'm a huge fan of keeping the peace. I will not stand by and let you or anyone in this family attack him.
2:14.0	Simply because they feel Andrew is to blame.
2:18.0	I'm not trying to say anything with myself or Tracy. We are more than willing to do that. But as far as the kids talking, Andrew has expressed that he would rather not.
2:27.0	And we're not going to force him to do so. We feel bad that this has happened to Reagan. She doesn't deserve that. We love Reagan. Please know this.
