When my washing machine broke down while I was babysitting Tommy, I reluctantly decided to take him to the laundromat. The place was crowded with the hum of machines, and I could already feel the stress of juggling everything. That’s when a kind stranger offered to hold him while I loaded the laundry. I hesitated but accepted, grateful for the break. But when I turned back just minutes later, my heart stopped—Tommy had a Tide pod in his mouth, and the stranger stood there, smiling as though nothing was wrong.
The excitement of my first weekend alone with Tommy quickly turned into a nightmare. What was supposed to be a simple task of doing laundry became a nightmare I couldn’t escape. I was juggling a diaper bag and clothes when the stranger stepped in to help, but I wasn’t prepared for the horror of seeing my grandson chewing on a detergent pod. The sight sent panic through my veins. Without thinking, I rushed to take it from him, praying that I wasn’t too late to prevent disaster.
