Careful

“Be careful with that glass”, my mother said. It was too late, I dropped the glass and it got broken. I was not careful. My mind was somewhere else.

“Be careful with that knife”, my mother said. It was too late, I cut my finger. I was not careful. My mind was somewhere else.

“Be careful with that hot pot”, my mother said. It was too late, I burnt my hand. I was not careful. My mind was somewhere else.

• Are you careful all the time?
• Are you careful around aggressive dogs?
