After depositing Leah in a crib, Tina returned to her office. Only a few of the little ones remain for late pick up, so the place will quiet down shortly.
Alice poked her head into Tina’s office “Boss, that was the last of them, cept for two late pick ups. I’ll clean the kitchen and prep a couple of bottles just in case.”
“Thanks.”
Alice started to leave, when Tina raised her voice a bit “I put my little one in one of the cribs, she has been having a rough day today and may need a drink when she wakes as well.”
Alice, didn’t know how to respond, did that mean, give her one of the bottles or prep a sippy.
Oh well, Alice thought she would deal with it if it came up.
Tina couldn’t believe how much paper could pile up on her desk. Beginning of a school year always brought a new crop of kids.
She dove into the work, but periodically mused over her actions with Leah. That bratty surly teen needed an attitude adjustment and this little rejuvenation might just make her more compliant.
She hadn’t done anything, when Leah had messed herself at the store, but now…..now it was game on. She is so tiny, would anyone even notice. The genius of her plan was its simplicity, just three little pieces, a diuretic in her drinks, that anesthetic for her mouth, and the topper, that suppository. That was the most interesting of all. After a few doses of that it could take a month for her to regain control of herself.
If I play my cards right, after few more days, my poor little girl might have trouble staying dry, will likely start to drool, the numbness in her mouth might make it sound like she has a lisp and most of all, the poor little thing won’t realize when she is soiling herself. Hard to imaging, that all of this won’t make her an emotional wreck.
Tina imagined the teen in a dirty diaper crying, having a meltdown or a tantrum due to her inability to cope with her situation and how people are treating her. She will in essence look, smell and appear to all like she is an extra large 3 or 4 year old failing to grasp the basics of potty training.
Such a shame. She thought with an air of sarcasm as she glanced in her monitor at the sleeping Leah in Infant Crib 2.
Tina got back to work.
A moment later, Tina buzzed in the Mary Johnson who had come to pick up little Howie.
“Good evening Mary” Tina said as she ushered her into the daycare.
“He is sleeping?” Mary asked
“Yes, let’s get him.”
Not 5 minutes later Mary left with her little bundle of joy.
Tina finished up and was ready to go, figuring she could leave Alice to lock up and pass off the lone remaining child.
Tina grabbed her stuff and was a bit shocked entering the infant room to spy Alice in the rocker with Leah cradled in her arms, nursing a bottle.
Tina took a quick short video, then grabbed Leah and carried her out to the car. Leah kept nursing, till she was placed in the car seat.
