Jennifer didn’t run into Kelly again until lunch, though she heard a lot of people gossiping about her. Apparently, in the middle of gym class, Kelly had stopped running and squatted, messing and wetting her diaper in front of everyone. Most people felt that Kelly should have at least ducked behind the bleachers if she was going to use her diaper. But Jennifer knew that Kelly didn’t have that as an option. Her potty training was completely gone. She couldn’t tell when she needed to go, she would just go.
Something that was of interest to Jennifer was that the school had already adjusted to Kelly’s new age. It seemed that Jennifer’s curse had altered reality. Kelly had been turned into a toddler last week, and since then, everyone had just gotten used to a toddler attending high school.
As Jennifer walked to lunch, she overheard someone talking about Kelly again.
“She was so embarrassed during Child Development that she wet herself,” said a girl named Lily. Lily giggled. “And she got even more embarrassed when she found out that she was our homework!” Jennifer slowed her pace, hoping to hear more.
“I thought today was learning about breastfeeding,” said Lily’s friend.
“It was. And Kelly’s at all three lunch periods with Miss Smith, so that all of us can do our homework with her,” Lily said gleefully. Jennifer’s stomach twisted. What was happening to Kelly now?
Jennifer went to the cafeteria. Immediately, she spotted Kelly. Kelly was surrounded by a circle of students from the Child Development class, sitting in the lap of a girl named Patty. And…drinking from Patty’s breast? Jennifer stopped to stare in horror.
“Excellent work, Patty,” Miss Smith said. She was standing nearby, observing. Patty removed Kelly from her breast, burped her, and then handed her over to Miss Smith. Then, Patty removed the vest she was wearing. Now, Jennifer understood.
She’d heard that the Child Development class had a specially designed vest to simulate breastfeeding. It had two false breasts and room to fill each breast with milk. Apparently, they were using the vest on Kelly. For their homework. Just then, Kelly let out a loud fart. It was evident to everyone that she’d messed herself again, and would need a diaper change. Jennifer couldn’t help but feel even guiltier at the sight. But what could she do?
