“Be still,” Mayra soothed as she did not wish to make him any messier than he already was. Next was the legs. She pulled from the footies of the sleeper, keeping a firm hand on James’s body as she eased it out, immediately seeing the thick mess, the color and texture of melted candy bars, covering his left leg. She managed to get it free before doing the same with his right leg, careful not to spread the mess or get it on her hands.
“What in the world…?” she asked as she tried to lift James off the sleeper… only to find that it was stuck to his backside. She had little doubt as to what was acting as the adhesive. “You made such a big messy, pequeño. We might need two tubs of wipies to take care of this job.”
