It was a quiet night in the house, and everyone was sound asleep. The stars twinkled gently outside the window, and Monkey Lyly was curled up under her blanket, dreaming about bananas and playgrounds. But suddenly, in the middle of the night, Lyly’s eyes flew open. Something didn’t feel right.
She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked around in the dim room. Then she realized… her bed was wet. Lyly’s face turned red with embarrassment and confusion. She had peed in the bed! For a moment, she didn’t know what to do. She sat there frozen, whispering, “Oh no… what happened?”
Not knowing how to handle it, she slowly tiptoed to her mother’s room, dragging her favorite stuffed bunny behind her. Standing by her mom’s bedside with wide, worried eyes, she gently tugged on her mom’s blanket and whispered in a shaky voice, “Mom… help me…”
Her mother stirred awake and looked down to see Lyly’s nervous face. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” she asked, already sensing something was off. Lyly’s lips quivered. “I… I peed the bed…”
Without a moment’s hesitation, her mom got up, scooped Lyly into a warm hug, and kissed her forehead. “It’s okay, Lyly. Accidents happen. Let’s clean you up, alright?”
Together, they walked back to Lyly’s room. Her mom gently helped her change into clean pajamas, wiped her little legs, and even changed the bedsheet — all while reassuring her that she wasn’t in trouble. Lyly kept looking at her mom with wide, grateful eyes. She still felt a bit embarrassed, but her mom’s love and calmness made her feel safe.
Once everything was clean, Lyly snuggled back into bed, and her mom sat beside her, stroking her hair. “I love you, even when little accidents happen,” her mom whispered.
Lyly smiled sleepily. “I love you too, Mom…”
And just like that, the confusion faded, replaced by warmth, comfort, and a peaceful night’s sleep.
