Play in the mud

“Do you see that mud puddle near Mom’s flower bed?” Vanessa asked, pointing to the flower bed in question…and the large puddle that had formed from the rainstorm last night. After Lauren gave a worrying nod, Vanessa smirked evilly as she said, “Go play in it for forty-five minutes.”

“What?!” Lauren asked incredulously. “I can’t do that!”

“Well,” Vanessa said with a shrug, “I guess you’re not going to get back into the house. The only way inside is if you play in the mud.”

Lauren whimpered as she looked back at the disgusting mud puddle before returning her attention to Vanessa. “Are you sure that there’s nothing else I could do? Maybe I could do a dance or something?”

“Tempting…” Vanessa said, “but no. Your only choice if you want back in is to play in the mud. If I were you, I would just get it over with before people saw me.”

Lauren whimpered as she looked back to the mud puddle again. As much as it pained her to admit it, Vanessa had a point. Better to just bite the bullet and just get it over with. With a pained sigh, Lauren waddled off the patio and towards the mud puddle.

Timidly, Lauren put a foot into the mud, shivering in disgust as the cold, slimy muck oozed through her toes. Letting out yet another whimper, Lauren lowered herself down until she was sitting in the mud, shivering in disgust as the muck made contact with her lower half; she could even feel the mud ooze into her diaper.

Pouting in a mixture of humiliation and anger, Lauren reached out and scooped up a glob of mud, shaping it into a mud pie before sitting it to the side. Grabbing a rather large scoop of mud, Lauren was about to create another when the sound of tapping on the window brought her attention back to the house. Looking over her shoulder, Lauren saw Vanessa smiling evilly as she rubbed her front half briefly before running her fingers through her hair.

Lauren felt her lip quivering as she threw the glob into the air, closing her eyes before the mud made contact with her hair. Lauren then laid back and coated her back with the muck, before turning over and coating her front half. When she sat back up, she saw that her entire body (with the exception of her face) was coated head-to-toe in mud. She angrily looked back over her shoulder to Vanessa, the latter grinning ear to ear as she gave a thumbs up.

Lauren snarled as she grumbled angrily, returning to her mud pies.
