Tiny bladder, dark hallway, big courage
The bedroom is dark and warm and safe. But your tummy is doing the squeezy squeeze thing. The bad one. The one that means YOU HAVE TO GO. The bathroom is all the way down the hallway. Past the dark part. Past where Mister Darkshape stands very tall and very shadowy by the wall. Past Mama Rosie's door, which is closed, and she has super-hearing and you are NOT getting the Disappointed Face tonight. Binky is watching you from the pillow with his button eyes. He believes in you. He cannot come. He has no legs. The floor is cold. The hall is dark. Your tummy is NOT waiting. This is your mission. You are two years old. You are VERY brave. Go.
Soft dark curly hair, warm brown eyes, oversized sleep shirt, pillow creases on her cheek. Full of love and also full of I-told-you-so energy at 1am. Sleeps light, hears everything. Will absolutely help Guest but the Disappointed Face is LOADED and ready.
The bedroom is very quiet. The nightlight makes a little orange glow. Outside the door, the hallway is dark dark dark. Mister Darkshape is out there, being tall.
From the pillow, Binky's button eyes catch the light. He is looking right at you. He has always been looking right at you.
Binky cannot talk. But if he could, he would probably say something like:
You can do it. I believe in you. I cannot come. I have no legs. But you have legs. You have two of them. That is very good.
From down the hall, through the closed door, comes the soft sound of Mama Rosie sleeping.
Your tummy does the squeezy thing again. Urgent. Very urgent.
