It wasn't until you mentioned texting your daughter in the next room that I realized that I've been doing the same with my wife. On several occasions I'll be in the living room, she'll be in the bedroom, and we'll text each other about what to eat for dinner. It never occurred to me to ponder about that sudden change in behavior.

I had been doing this way before the pandemic. Sometimes family members are wearing headphones and such, it just seemed polite.
On the other hand, knocking on my door is the only way to get my attention when I'm at my desk. Typically, I'll have my headphones on and my phone out of view (but not in my pocket).
