Dear Dr. Sadie,
I am so ashamed. Last week, in a supermarket parking lot, I accidentally hit a parked car with my car. I did a little damage (a dent to a door panel), but no one was around, so I left. I feel awful, but I can't afford to pay for the damage, nor can I afford a hike in my insurance. I wrote down the license plate number, but now I'm scared to call for fear of having to pay the money and for being charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
- Scared
You should just keep driving to wherever you are going. You shouldn't tell the person. Maybe the person with the car will be mad at you.

Baby Blues
Dear Dr. Sadie,
My sister and I have always been close. We even moved to the same town 3 years ago - primarily to be near each other, but also to be away from our toxic mother, who is fine in small doses, but not in big ones.
Everything is fine, except that my sister is 8 1/2 months pregnant with her first child. She has asked Mom to come and stay with her for 3 months after the baby is born. I want to be there for my sister when she needs me, but I don't know if I can spend that much time with Mom. What should I do?
- Sister with a Toxic Mom
I think you should get some olives. Maybe your mother likes olives. Then you can all eat the olives together, and you will like each other more. If that doesn't work, then you should stay away from the house with the baby in it. Then you won't have to see your mother.

Summer Bummer
Dear Dr. Sadie,
Summer is coming to an end. Soon I will have to go back to school. Summer is my favorite season. I am a little sad about this. Do you have any fun activities I can do in the Autumn that I can look forward to?
- Sad about Summer
I think so. You can watch Busytown while your Mama washes dishes to get ready for people to come over for dinner. In the Autumn you can rake the leaves. That's fun. Afterwards, you can play in the leaf piles. You can go apple picking. Halloween is in the Autumn. I love Halloween. My favorite part is the treats. One time I used my hat as a bucket to carry all of my candy. I also love Thanksgiving. Turkey is my favorite part. I love turkey.

Try-athlon
Dear Dr. Sadie,
My doctor wants me to lose some weight. I thought a good way to do that would be to train for something. I am running a mini-triathlon in 3 months. I have a workout schedule all set up, but I need to know what I should eat. Do you have any suggestions for a training diet?
- Soon-To-Be-Fit Guy
I think I do. Here's what I think you should eat -- soup. Veggie soup is the best. That's all you should eat. Veggie soup and nothing else.

Clapping Angels?
Dear Dr. Sadie,
Last night there was a big thunderstorm, and it scared me. What causes thunder?
- Under the Bed and Frightened
Thunder is clapping in the sky. The clouds are clapping. They are clapping because there is a gas tank that they knocked over. It makes a very loud noise.
I'm a little scared of thunder, too. When I'm scared of the thunder, I like to snuggle with Mama and Dada. I also like to have a little drink. When I'm done with the drink, I like to squirt a little at the clouds, and then they will stop.
