Good evening, everyone! I'm Mrs. Anne. I often walk in a playground. My daughter and grandson walk there, too.
I'm already an old woman, so I often worry about my grandson when he runs somewhere or climbs a tree.
"Look where our boy went," I once said to my daughter.
"Mom, don't worry so much. He plays with other boys," she said.
I may be very nervous sometimes, but my grandson is an active child.
There was a case when he went onto the road and my daughter immediately took my grandson from there.
Also, I was worried about Timothy when he got into a trouble. For a while, the young man literally 'had no face'. But all the problems were resolved as I hoped.

Sophie had many different friends. One of them was a boy from the yard. They knew each other for a long time.
He studied well at school. Also, this boy attended several clubs of interest.
By his nature, he was very impressionable. If he watched some bright show, then he worried for a long time. This boy said about it.
"He just has that kind of personality" Sophie's mother said.
Sophie agreed with this, because he was always so emotional.
At the same time, other people reacted differently to such situations.
Sophie had her own views on different things. Sometimes even her grandmother didn't understand her. At the same time, Sophie often said truthful phrases. But still she wanted to know the answers to some different questions.
Many people wanted to know why Timothy goes out late at night and even in an iron mask. Some admitted that they "accidentally" saw him without an iron mask.
One of them was a boy of nine years old. He studied well, also, attended different school sections. Despite all this, he later couldn't sleep all night when the child saw from the window in the evening a young man without face. He was very impressionable.
The little son of Raymond, and his independent eight-year-old niece have long seen Timothy without an iron mask.
"Grandma, why do people react so differently to Timothy's appearance?" Sophie asked.
"We are all different and react differently to different life situations." granny answered.
