Written for https://lindaghill.com/2024/04/24/one-liner-wednesday-parenting/ Parenting is more than having a child, it is caring, educating and guiding them through their own journey of understanding; they will respect their elders, but only if you share respect as they grow.
Expensive
Written for https://fivedotoh.com/2024/04/22/fowc-with-fandango-dental/ I am not great at going to my dentist because the fees are too expensive. It feels odd that hospital treatments are for free, but still have to cover the expenses of our teeth. Needles don’t scare me, and I am pleased to receive the check-ups if they were more affordable. UsingContinue reading “Expensive”
Safe Hands
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/04/22/share-your-world-22nd-april/ 1. Have you ever attended a First Aid Course? No. I supported in a classroom where they were taught to do CPR. It is more challenging than I thought. You are meant to push hard enough to get the heart to start again. In the plastic dolls you needed to hear theContinue reading “Safe Hands”
Slow You Down
Written for https://crispinakemp.com/2024/04/17/crimsons-creative-challenge-284/ Slow you down. Flowers draped around the sign. Each bouquet was a reminder of a person gone. Their fading colours remained as a symbol to any drivers speeding over thirty. The bicycle, with a plastic rider, was Elizabeth’s idea. She thought it would be a visual reason to take it easy.

Baking
Written for https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2024/04/21/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-311/ It was a tonic to see her granddaughter. When there was a tough week at work, and it felt like she was crashing into a brick wall, seeing that grin was catching. Even something as simple as baking could outshine all the stress. ‘What do you want to do today?’ she asked.Continue reading “Baking”

Mummy
Written for https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2024/04/20/story-starter-saturday-mix-20-april-2024/ There was no chance he was doing it, and that was that. What did she know anyway? She always wanted him to brush his teeth before going to sleep. What if he got hungry? Bob stomped his feet. His teddy bear hung in his right hand and he agreed. ‘No,’ he said.Continue reading “Mummy”
Grates
Written for https://lindaghill.com/2024/04/19/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-april-20-2024/ It grates on my nerves when humans drop litter on a street where there was none. It isn’t great to show that lack of respect.
Liminal
Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2024/04/18/reenas-xploration-challenge-327/ A liminal horizon stretched beyond the tracks. I held my battered rucksack over my shoulders, with nothing more than a few essentials packed; a reading book, snacks from the cupboard, the money in my savings jar, and a water bottle.
