That night when it was time for bed, Sally knocked on Jordan’s door and came in. “Jordie dear are you all ready for bed?”
She was typing on her computer and mumbled an incoherent response.
“Jordan – I want to make sure your night pants are going to work for you – have you tried one yet?”
She hadn’t – in fact she had been both dreading and delaying the eventuality.
“No mom. Not yet.”
“Ok well get one on, I wanna see how they fit.”
“O-KAYE! Gimme a sec!” she said with a little edge of condescension.
Sally stood in the open door waiting.
Jordan got up and began fiddling through her dresser for pajamas and then located the bag of Pull-Ups in the bottom drawer, already covered up by a heavy sweater. Opening it, she pulled out the pink papery article with Minnie-Mouse printed faintly all over the front. The package read ‘NEW! Minnie Disappears when Wet!’.
