  • It was the sound of tiny feet padding across the carpet which woke me from my slumber. I smiled. My little girl woke me up this way most days. “Daddy!” she exclaimed as she jumped into bed to give me a cuddle. I squeezed her back. “Are you ok? Your voice sounds funny, I hope

    My teachers tell me every day that I need to concentrate in class. My parents yell at me for not listening to them as I’m not making eye contact. Then when it comes to sitting down and doing my homework, I yell at myself in my head to sit still and just do the work.

    Pantry, go up and show me what we have in stock. “We have 3 cans of beans and mustard.” Refresh. Show me something I can eat. “The food remains the same. No new products to load.
