Just then Sally exclaimed, “Oh look at these!” On the bottom shelf near the wipes was a row of dark blue packages labeled ‘GoodNites’. She grabbed one with the markings, ‘XL, 85-125 lbs. and up’.
“These are what we need for your Jordie. ‘Nighttime pants for older children’ and they are made for kids your size. I bet they don’t even have those babyish prints on them either. I’ve been in baby-only mode for so long, I didn’t even know this kind of stuff existed for kids with problems like yours.”
Jordan shuddered at the way that last phrase rolled off her mom’s tongue. Problems like mine? She makes it sound so final – so daunting – so pathetic. Ugh! I’m such a freak!
