Mrs Anderson put her arm around Jessica’s waist and kissed her forehead. “I hope you know nothing has changed between then and now. And nothing is going to change that, ever. I would like to talk about these diapers of yours.”
Jessica sighed. She recounted to her mother how the whole thing began. She told her mother about sneaking diapers from the Roberts and the dreams she was having and how wonderful it felt to feel like a baby again with not a care in the world. She told her how she first saw the Pampers Princess commercials on TV and how she went out and bought a case of them. She recounted how she started wearing them constantly and how, one night she had even messed herself while watching Amanda. Once she got started unraveling this tale it seemed to tell itself. Having found a sympathetic ear, Jessica felt the burden of the whole thing lifting from her the further into her story she got.
