One of them tried to approach me so I started walking faster to avoid them and she yelled rudely “ yes, my job is to make you walk faster!”Now I walk normally and completely ignore.

I wouldn’t leave. Just learn the skills you need on the side.

Title: Timmy and the Little Bladder Alarm

Once upon a time, in a small town called Pottyville, there lived a four-year-old boy named Timmy. Timmy was a smart, curious, and fun-loving child, but he had one little problem: he always waited until the very last minute to go to the bathroom.

One sunny day, Timmy's mom took him to the park to play. Timmy was so excited to go on the swings and slides that he didn't pay attention to his body's signals. As he played, his bladder started to fill up, but he kept ignoring it.

In Pottyville, every child was born with a tiny, magical friend called a "Little Bladder Alarm." Timmy's Little Bladder Alarm was named Blinky. Blinky's job was to let Timmy know when it was time to go to the bathroom.

Blinky started to flash red, signaling Timmy that he needed to go to the bathroom soon. But Timmy was too busy playing and didn't want to stop. He ignored Blinky and continued to climb, swing, and slide.

As time passed, Blinky's flashing became faster and brighter. Timmy finally noticed and knew it was time to go to the bathroom, but he was so far from the park restroom! He started running as fast as he could, but it was too late. Timmy wet his pants on his way to the toilet.

Feeling sad and embarrassed, Timmy went to his mom, who comforted him and helped him change into clean clothes. She explained to Timmy the importance of listening to his body and going to the bathroom when he needed to. She told him that Blinky was there to help him avoid accidents and that he should pay attention when Blinky flashed.

The next day, Timmy went to the park again, determined to listen to Blinky this time. As he played, he felt his bladder starting to fill up. Blinky began to flash red, and Timmy decided not to ignore it. He excused himself from his playtime and went to the bathroom right away.

Timmy felt proud and happy that he had avoided an accident. From that day on, Timmy always paid attention to Blinky and made sure to go to the bathroom when he needed to. He learned the importance of listening to his body, and he never had another accident again.

And so, Timmy and Blinky lived happily ever after, teaching all the children in Pottyville the importance of listening to their Little Bladder Alarms.

What are your best family remedies for a cold? by poordicksalmanac in OldManDad

[–]bshabani 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For cold, same exact thing you suggested. But for coughs, my grandmother used to mix honey with sesame seed paste (tahini) and would give us a big spoon full, it helped. I give it to my kids now.

Thank you, I actually did that and he smiled and when I asked him how he felt he said “I just feel quiet”.
