Cassie woke up to her mom yelling for her. She walked downstairs, forgetting the pacifier in her mouth.
Cassie's mom was in the kitchen, and had just finished making dinner. "Cassie, you'll need to take your knookie out to eat!" Cassie, remembering that she'd made pacifiers normal for her age, removed her pacifier and placed it on the countertop. Cassie's dad brought down Kayla, and Cassie's 17-year-old brother Kevin came down, removing his pacifier as he did. Last to arrive was her younger brother, the 8-year-old Steven. His pacifier dangled off his shirt by a clip.
Cassie watched as Kayla was given a bib. Cassie, who'd always been clumsy, wished that she wasn't expected to keep herself clean while eating. With that, the ring grew warm, and her father turned to his three older children, with three large bibs, looking exactly like regular babies' bibs, albeit larger.
Kayla and her siblings sat down and began eating. Kayla found it very hard to keep her food (spaghetti) on her fork, so she was doubly glad for the bib. She also wished for a sippy cup to drink from, as she was having trouble with a normal cup (a consequence of basically wishing to be a messy eater.)
Once they had finished their meals, Cassie's mom wiped off each child's face and removed their bibs. Cassie popped her pacifier back in.
