When it was my fault: owning up and making it right, sentence 2

Both things were true at once: accidents can happen even when someone is watching, and Dad himself said a nine-year-old should not have been left in charge so long; but Noah also learned to put the phone away when he is looking after someone.

Who acts: things, accidents, someone, Dad, Noah · What happens: be, happen, watch, say, not leave, learn · To what, where: year old, charge, phone · Speech: someone speaks here
