Erika's face went blood red, while tears began to form in her eyes in
an instant. The only sound the girl could manage for a moment, though,
was a choked-back sob - and even then, more looked to be ready to come
at any moment.
In her current state, though, the girl didn't notice that her potty-
trained peers seemed to be looking at her in a rather unusual way.
She just barely took in, though, when one blond by the name of
Christian seemed to get a sad look on her face and ask, "Aw, what's
wrong?"
It seemed mocking, but... it wasn't. Something about it seemed
genuine, and comforting at that - and it was certainly helped when
another girl Erika was not quite familiar with reached over and gave
her a playful tickle on the chin before questioning, "C'mon, what's
got baby so upset, huh?"
Erika's response, after a small amount of giggling through the tears,
was an instinctive, "I-I... I did stinky."
