My parents are starting to become old. They both have to go to the bathroom a lot. It seems that their bladders have grown smaller. Sometimes this frustrates me— how often they have to use the bathroom. It makes me impatient. I want to tell them they can’t go. I want to tell them things like, “Come on, can’t you hold it?”

Someday I will be their age. Someday my bladder will have grown smaller, too. Someday I will think about how I feel now, and I will become embarrassed by the impatience I once had.
