Jacob has just settled back into her watch when she feels an urge to squat and push. Not knowing why she has this urge, she follows it, only to regret the decision when she feels something enter her diaper. It’s too late to stop, though, now that she’s started. In a desperate attempt to speed up the process of pooping, she pushes as hard as she can, grunting with effort.
Unfortunately, someone hears her grunts. Focused on messing herself, Jacob doesn’t notice Seth walk up to her.
“Huh. Not every day you see a little girl pooping behind a plant,” Seth says. Jacob continues to grunt, her face turning beet red. Seth walks away to inform the receptionist of a toddler messing herself in the lobby.
It takes Jacob longer than she expected to finish evacuating her bowels. By the time she’s done filling her diaper, someone has arrived to take her to the daycare. To make matters worse, the daycare worker comments on how long it took Jacob to go number two.
“Little girl, you seem like you need something special in your diet,” the daycare worker says as he scoops Jacob into his arms. Jacob is too startled and disgusted by how her messy diaper feels to respond. They arrive at the daycare, where the worker promptly brings Jacob over to a changing table and quickly changes her into a fresh diaper. “There!”
Jacob’s embarrassment isn’t over, however. The daycare worker brings Jacob over to the receptionist to fill out a form for her. Jacob refuses to answer any of the questions she’s asked, including her name. At the end, the daycare worker informs the receptionist of her prolonged bowel movement.
“She started pooping before that teenager saw her, and still hadn’t finished by the time I got to her, which took roughly five minutes. Put in her file that she needs special snacks to reduce how much she strains to poop.” The daycare worker ruffles Jacob’s hair. “We should just put your name down as Little Miss Ex-Lax.”
“Nope, she’s going to be Jane Doe until we get her to start talking,” the receptionist says, apparently as amused at the joke as Jacob.
“Fine by me. Come on, Janie. We need to get you changed out of those clothes!” The daycare worker carries Jacob back to the main area of the daycare. Reeling from how fast everything has happened, Jacob is only able to wonder why she needs a clothing change.
