Another situation was developing that Carley hadn’t been attending to. She needed to pee. She was pretty sure she could hold it until they got to Crystal’s house, but then she remembered the diapers and wondered if she’d even be granted access to a toilet. She opened her mouth to try to ask for the bathroom, not remembering her pacifier gag, and was rewarded with a jaw-crushing mouthful of air-filled nipple. It inflated so much that she couldn’t close her mouth. She held her mouth in its painful position for several minutes while it slowly deflated.
Crystal and the cashier shared more jokes at Carley’s expense before the items were paid for. In the parking lot, Carley tried to mumble her concerns from behind the pacifier.
