On this Friday morning however, she wasn’t so lucky. When she got up to go to the bathroom to get cleaned up at the relatively late hour of 7:15am, her sister Mindi was on her way to the bathroom as well and they both converged in front of the door at the same moment culminating in a collision. Mindi, although only 5, was old enough to feel and smell the urine on her older sister’s clothing.
“JORDAN? Why are you all wet? Did you have an accident? MOOOOOM! JORDAN PEEEED HER BED!” She turned and ran back down the hall toward her mom’s room to tattle.
Jordan was frozen in embarrassment.
“Mindi! STOP IT YOU LITTLE SNOT!!” Jordan hissed.
“JORDAN PEED HER BED – JORDAN PEED HER BED!” Mindi began chanting as she realized her older sister was embarrassed and becoming defensive.
The older girl was quickly losing it and quickly turned to scramble into the bathroom just as Sally popped her head into the hallway. Shushing the middle girl and ordering her into her bedroom to get changed, she made her way down the wood-clad hallway toward the bathroom carrying Jen the toddler.
