"Even today, in the car," she begins to explain, "I sent a photo from her phone to me three days ago. We had a conversation about it. The dog ate one of her shoes." Four days later, Shields opened her phone back up, and "she goes to our text and she goes, 'The dog did it again,' " Rowan recalls.

Rowan says she tried explaining to her mom at the time, telling her, "Mom, that was four days ago. I was sitting next to you. You sent me the text from your phone, and the dog didn't do it again. It's the same exact thing."

In addition to Rowan, Shields is a mom to daughter Grier, 18, and shares both girls with her longtime husband Chris Henchy.

While chatting with PEOPLE for a cover story in August, Shields was joined by both daughters before they headed off to school. "I'm terrified!" Shields told PEOPLE of her girls going away and becoming an empty nester. "I'm worried about me, just as much as I'm worried about her," joked Grier.

"Feelings are fraught," said Rowan, who's a senior this year at Wake Forest University, where Grier has joined her as a freshman. "I mean, I've already done it, and she was a mess. I think she's really busy now, which is good. Swamp her with work!"

"Off the record, I'm hoping you and Dad rekindle the flame," Rowan joked.

For Shields, it's a bittersweet moment as her daughters spread their wings and move out of the nest, becoming their own person.

"All of a sudden they are not yours anymore," Shields said. "When you realize they are their own human beings, you get to meet them again."
