At about 8 pm, her reverie was interrupted by her mother’s voice calling up the stairs. “Jessica! Phone call!”
Scrambling to get her shorts back on over her diaper, Jessie wondered who it could be. She ran down the stairs, oblivious to any noise her diaper was making.
“Who is it, Mom?” Jessica asked.
“It’s Mrs Roberts. She wants to know if you’ll sit for Amanda for a couple of hours this evening.
“Hello?” Jessica said as she put the receiver to her ear.
“Hi Jessie, it’s Mrs Roberts. Sorry about the short notice but I was wondering if you would watch Amanda this evening for a couple hours while Mr Roberts and I go out to a movie.”
“Sure thing. I’ll be over in about 5 minutes.” Jessica said.
“I’m going next door for a couple of hours, Mom. I’ll be back around 10.” Jess told her mother as she ran upstairs for her purse. Into it, she threw an extra diaper in case she needed a change. She ran down the stairs and out the door, slowing just as she got down her walk so as to walk ever so nonchalantly to the Anderson’s.
