Mrs. Feldstein took her son to the beach. The moment she sat down, she began
barking at him.

"Joshua, don't get close to the water. You'll drown."

"Joshua, don't play in the sand. If it gets in your eyes, you'll go blind."

"Joshua, get out of the sun. You'll get skin cancer."

She paused for a moment, turned to the woman next to her, and said,

"That Joshua of mine, he's such a nervous child."
