Bold Accusation

"Aren't we going to wait for the uncle?" the kid said, pointing towards Nash, who was still surrounded in the distance. 

"Yes, of course," I supplied helpfully. "He'll be here shortly," I reassured him. "In the meantime, do you want to have something to eat?" I asked. 

The child shook his head. But a thoughtful expression crossed his face upon coaxing. "Can I get some ice cream?" he asked. 

I stifled my laugh and nodded. "You can have ice cream if you eat something heavier first," I told him. The first thing to do to overcome shock was to readjust the body to normal function. Food was the easiest way to nudge it back into the track. 

At first, the kid would either be high on energy or lethargic. Thereafter, he would not realize when he was hungry or in need to go to the bathroom. Therefore, to kickstart his system, we would need to feed him on time and make sure he goes to the toilet at practical intervals.
