When they get home, Tina seems to have calmed down a bit from her earlier fury. Seizing the opportunity, Leah gently asks if Tina would reconsider her punishment. It’s the wrong move to make.
“Actually, yes, I’m changing my mind,” Tina says. “This week, you’ll be a little kid 24/7. Even at home.”
“But-” Leah tries desperately. Tina shakes her head.
“If you try to get out of a punishment, that punishment gets even worse. At your age, I would have expected you to know that, but I guess you’re as immature as your size suggests.” Tina’s words sting, but not as much as the expanded punishment. “At home and in public, you’re going to dress, talk, and act like a little girl. Which means…” Tina leaves the room. She comes back holding a diaper. At Leah’s horrified expression, Tina softens, but only slightly.
“Okay. Making you wear a diaper 24/7 might be going a bit too far,” she concedes. “Starting tomorrow, at home you can wear training pants and use the toilet. But you’ll still be diapered and banned from the bathroom in public.” Tina wags a finger at Leah. “That’s the only thing I’m going to back down on. I still expect you to dress and act like a little girl 24/7. Understand?”
“Yes,” Leah says.
“Good. Now, lay down.” A bit confused, Leah does as she’s told. Promptly, Tina removes her training pants and diapers her.
“What?!”
“I said you can wear training pants at home starting tomorrow, remember? For the rest of the day, you’re going to be in a diaper.”
“What if I need to use the bathroom?” Leah asks. Tina frowns at her. “But me need peepee and poopoo,” Leah mumbles.
“Well, after you shower tonight, you can change to training pants. You’ll just have to hold it until then,” Tina says airily. Leah swallows nervously. If she’d known things would escalate further, she would have used the bathroom. But she didn’t. Hopefully, that doesn’t come back to bite her.
