Danny didn’t see much point in lying. If he lied, all he would do is make it seem like he was using his diaper on purpose. If he told the truth, maybe he could get it reversed. He quickly told Kristof what had happened.
“Hmm. I see.” Kristof picked Danny up. The mess in Danny’s diaper spread around his butt, renewing his sobs. “Well, I can reverse it, give you your potty training back, if this truly is the result of a customer being vindictive. We also have a system set in place to punish customers like that.”
“R-really?” Danny asked through his tears. Kristof nodded. “Wh-what’s the catch?”
“I need to verify it first. I’ll go through the record of changes on your badge as well as video surveillance.” Kristof took Danny’s badge off and tucked it into his pocket. “In the meantime, I think you’d be happiest in the nursery.”
“O-okay,” Danny mumbled. Kristof carried him through the store. They entered the daycare that was set up for children of employees. The pretty young blonde at the front desk looked up.
“Hi Kristof. Oh my, what’s going on?”
“This is Danny,” Kristof said. “He had a pretty nasty accident. While I look into it, I figured he could stay here. Get a change and maybe a nap.”
“Sure!” The blonde stood up and took Danny from Kristof. “Come back whenever. We’ll take good care of him.”
“Thanks, Laura.”
“No problem!” Laura chirped. She brought Danny over to a changing table, where she carefully removed his clothes and diaper. “Oh, no, Danny.”
“What?”
“You got your mess on your clothes. I guess your diaper wasn’t prepared for that kind of blowout. I’ll put you in one that will be able to handle any accident, okay?”
“What about my clothes?” Danny asked.
“You should be fine in just a diaper, but if you really insist on wearing something, we have some T-shirts with the store’s logo on them.”
“I don’t want to be naked,” Danny said firmly.
“All right.” Laura wiped Danny down and put a fresh diaper on him. She then slipped a red T-shirt with the store’s logo on the front over Danny’s head. “I think Kristof was right. You look like you could use a nap.”
“If…if you say so,” Danny said sleepily. He yawned. Laura carried him over to a row of cribs. She gently placed him in one, then handed him a teddy bear. “…Thanks.” Danny squeezed the teddy bear tightly. Before he knew it, he was fast asleep.
During Danny’s nap…
