“Did you wake up wet?” queried Erin. Of course, it wouldn’t bother her if Hailey had wet the bed. It would be hypocritical of her to complain of Hailey bedwetting; but even if Erin didn’t have the same problem, it would still be mean. Still, it seemed a bit odd. Hailey hadn’t needed diapers at night before, and as far as Erin knew, she still didn’t need them.
Hailey’s mind was coming back together, and she collected herself enough to finish the process of disposing of the diaper. As she reached for her pajama bottoms and pulled them back on, Hailey realized Erin had just given her an excuse. She could claim that she’d simply wet the bed. It was simple, it was less embarrassing than the truth, and Erin would probably believe her.
