Hailey suddenly realized that she had been given a golden opportunity. “Would you feel better about wearing diapers to bed if I wore them too?” It was absolutely brilliant. In one move, she had found a way to help Erin, to wear diapers, and to make her appear more mature to her parents for making such a “sacrifice” for her cousin. She didn’t have time to think about the logistics of actually being able to use the diapers, but she figured that having her parents’ blessing to wear them was a good first step.

Neither Erin nor Sue expected Hailey’s offer. Erin had already decided that she would try wearing diapers to bed, and she didn’t want to force Hailey down to her level, but she couldn’t deny that it would make her feel better. “Yes, it would help… but only if you really want to do it.”
