Accident

Today at school the toilet in Samantha's classroom was not working properly.
She's scared of the big toilets down the hall, so, due to extenuating circumstances, she had an "accident" at school. Her teacher told me all of this when I picked her up, but I didn't say anything about it to Samantha -- I wasn't sure how she felt about, whether she'd be embarrassed or upset.

When we got home, though, Samantha said, "Mommy, I had a tee-tee accident at school today."

Trying to be as sensitive and caring as I could, I asked her, "And how did that make you feel around the other children?"

"Wet," she said.
