“Um, sorry mom, I woke up feeling like going, you know, to the bathroom, but it was cold, and I was tired…”, babbled Melissa, trying to say something that would make sense to her mother, mentally kicking herself for being lazy and not changing off her soaked diaper before breakfast.

Ever since Melissa’s father had left them, she had tried to be as understanding as she could with Melissa, but how should she deal with this?
