When they entered, Sally walked straight toward the “Diapers and Baby Care” aisle which was located directly in the center of the store. Jordan followed sheepishly behind staring down at her shoes and the white tiled floor. Sally pushed no cart and carried no basket for the focus of her visit was solitary: bedwetting supplies for her daughter. As they walked down the aisle, Jordan saw the myriad of brands and sizes of diapers and she felt embarrassed to be in that section of the store – and FOR HER!!! Scanning the shelves of Pampers, Huggies, and generic brand diapers, Sally finally saw what she was looking for: the largest size of Pull-ups available. Reaching out to grab the brightly colored pink package complete with Disney’s Minnie Mouse, she read out loud, “4T-5T 38-50 pounds. Hmm…. How much did they say you weighed at the doctor’s office this morning dear 146.5?”
