I shrugged. “I woke up before my alarm rang and couldn’t get back to sleep.”

“Well come down for breakfast. Carlos is going to be surprised when I ask him to put out another plate for you at breakfast.”

I went ahead of her out the door and felt at tap at my butt. “You aren’t wearing your new underwear.”

“She means your diaper,” said Clara.

“I know what she means, Clara,” I said.

The mother looked worried. “Who are you talking to?” she asked.

I felt panicked. “Um, no one.”

“Well, lie down on the bed. I don’t want to send Jimmy to your school to bring you more clothes. Wednesday he had to bring them twice. This needs to stop and that is why the doctor suggested diapers until we figure out what is wrong.”

“Fine,” I said and went to lie on the bed.
