It feels good to to be hindered when something is difficult becaused you always get delayed or hindered. Like maybe you have to help your dad put up a cloths line, and the pipe is really heavy. You might not even be strong enough. well that's what we are going to do at 1:00. I am going to ask my brother if he canhelp me. Sometimes you can't be hindered at all. Sometimes people are hindered at the airport. They are delayed. They are propably somewhere where there aret thunderstorms.
