“So what school will Ella be going to?” Danielle asked in between sips of her soda.
“I’m not sure we can get her into a school right now.” Heather said after a pause.
“Why not?” Danielle asked. “Is it because she’s not potty trained?” Ella nearly choked on her straw.
“Something like that.” Heather admitted. Ella felt her face blush bright red. She wanted to say she was to potty trained, but her throat closed up once she tried to summon the words. She almost never had accidents unless she was sick! She could use the bathroom just fine as long as it wasn’t…in the bathroom.
“So that’s why she;s in a diaper?” Danielle asked bluntly. Ella’s mouth nearly dropped open. Why were they talking about her like she wasn’t here?
