Your instruction here | Speaker: I felt a little bad the other day because I got upset with my son. He always panics when I have to buzz his hair and I was so frustrated.
Listener: Dealing with kids can be like that. Is there something about doing his hair that he is scared of?
Speaker: I think it is just the noise of the buzzer that makes him nervous, but he literally just screams and cries. It definitely doesn't hurt him at all.
Listener: Sounds like a bribe is in order. Then it's a win for everyone.
|
Your instruction here | Speaker: I had just moved into a new house and when I came home from work there was a giant spider crawling around.

Listener: Now that is hopeful.

|
Your instruction here | Speaker: I feel like I have let my family down. I got into trouble with the law.
Listener: Oh that's not good. What did you do?
Speaker: I lied to the cops about something I was questioned about. Truthfully, I didn't want other people to get into trouble. But instead, I was charged with making false statements to the police.
Listener: I'm sorry you are going through that. Sometimes telling the truth is the best, even if other people might get in trouble.
Speaker: That is entirely true. I was also worried about retribution from the other people. In the end, telling the truth is better than getting myself into trouble and letting my family down.
|
Your instruction here | Speaker: I haven't been sleeping well for a few days now because my husband was on a 30 hour road trip to get our new puppy.
Listener: Oh wow. I know being away from our loved ones can make it hard to sleep. Have you tried to listen to nature sounds? I have an app on my phone and I play rain sounds to help me sleep.
Speaker: That's a great suggestion. Last night I actually did sleep a bit better because I opened the window and was able to listen to outdoor noises like crickets and cicadas.
Listener: I love listening to nature. I live in the country, and could not imagine being in the city. I lived there for a few months, but there was too much traffic and noises that kept me up. I moved back to the country.

Speaker: I've never had that happen before either. It was a hostile environment and he certainly didn't have to help me, but he did. I've tried to be more like that since then.
Listener: i wonder if he has a crush on you or wants something in return
Speaker: Haha. I doubt that. He was halfway around the world. It was a long time ago and he never asked for anything.

Speaker: Well, actually I did end up getting a job that I like!
Listener: That's wonderful! I hope you find fulfillment and a sense of purpose {not to mention a chunky wallet haha}
Speaker: Thanks! The wallet's still a bit skinny, but I like the job, though!

|

Listener: Did it make you nostalgic?
Speaker: Why certainly! It brought back memories of childhood and how carefree I used to be. I'd love to go back to those times.
Listener: I know what you mean, life gets more complicated as you get older :)
Speaker: Such is life but, the best we can do is find pieces of the old emotions we cherish in modern item. Like the smell of dishsoap my grandmother used to use.
