“It just feels so embarrassing to have this problem – and to be wearing this…” Jordan instinctively put her free hand on the front of the diaper.
“I’m really sorry Jordan. I’m sure it isn’t fun – in fact I know it’s not – but I’m sure it won’t last forever. AND YOU’RE NOT ALONE!!”
“So do you still wanna be my friend?” Jordan sheepishly but honestly asked.
“Jordan! Of course! How could you ask me that?”
“Just checking…and thanks…Oh – the nurse is coming back; I gotta go.”
“K – night-night sweet pea.”
Jordan was a little irritated by that term of endearment even if it was spoken in jest. This is not a funny situation – and I’m not a baby!!!
