That’s How You Know It’s Working
Got a scrape on my elbow yesterday. Nothing major, just a standard scrape. So, I decided to use that spray in the first aid kit, you know the one? The anti-bacterial it’s gonna sting like a bee spray?
Did the spray, and it stung like a bee, and that’s how I knew it was working! Furthermore, it was an excellent way to tackle those pesky germs and bacteria!
This was also the narrative when the little one got a knee scrape. There was indignation, a wound had occurred, and now we were going to make it a boo boo, again. Moreover, that sting like a bee spray, is just plain mean.
It’s Working
At this point, anyone holding a can of spray was a villain. After a little discussion, in which germs became super bad villains, we decided to give the spray a chance.
We braced ourselves and got ready. This time anticipating that spray sting because that’s how we would know it was working. Those bad germs never stood a chance!
The old timers always know about things. Every problem that is plain too tough, seems to be a matter of common sense in that crowd.
That’s How You Know
I look back at many of those common sense tutorials, and wonder at what it cost the old timers to get all that info. The dues paid, the lessons learned, and everything in between.
A good way to celebrate all that wisdom, is to spread some love around today. Additionally, a few random acts of kindness will honor an old timer or two, plus it’s just kind.
It’s been known to create a cool side effect called a smile, and that’s how you know it’s working!
