Her mom comes into her room

As Alexa laid on her bed, playing on her phone, she heard a light knock and then the door open. Alexa turned to see her mom, Helen Johnson standing in the doorway. “Hey, Alexa,” Helen said as she walked over and sat down on her bed. “I wanted to talk to you about this issue you’ve been having.”

“Mom, we’ve talked about this,” Alexa said. “It was just one time. And it was only because I was really stressed out over exams.”

“I know,” Helen said. “But… I don’t want to have to keep changing your sheets. Maybe for the time being, it’d be better to wear some protection.”

“NO!” Alexa yelled, her face turning red at the thought. “I can’t do that. Please, mom. Please I promise it was just one time. I’ll go to the bathroom before bed and I’ll be fine.”

“Hmmm,” Helen said. “Alright, but if you wet your bed again tonight, not only am I going to have you wear protection at night, but also during the day.”

“WHAT?!” Alexa cried. “No no no.”

“It’s only fair since you insist it was only one night,” Helen said. “I mean, you can wear protection tonight and then just not worry about it, or you can choose not to, but if you wet the bed you’re wearing a diaper to school.”

Alexa’s face went white as her mom left leaving her with a humiliating ultimatum. She could NOT wear a diaper to bed… but she also absolutely could NOT wear one to school.
