Another Bottle - Still (with short story)

Jade stood at a distance, looking through the entryway into the living room at Lulu as if she were observing a wild animal in its natural habitat. She was gazing upon one fabulous Lulu, in nothing but a crop top and a diaper, fiddling with her stuffed animals and apple juice while she lay back and watch television without a care in the world. There was almost something liberating about just standing there watching her. As Lulu's mother, Jade was well accustomed to the ins and outs of taking care of a daughter. And even if she had been doing it for a while longer than she previously anticipated, watching her just live life blissfully, without the need to worry about work, chores, or even going to the bathroom; it never got old.

And neither did she. Lulu was nearly 22 now and still depending on her mother for everything. Jade was constantly having to keep an eye on her, make her meals, change her diapers, keep an eye on her—wait, where did her bottle go?

Jade snapped out of it and dashed out into the living room, speed walking towards Lulu trying to see where she had put her bottle. Once Lulu moved her hands away from the from of her waist Jade let out a long sigh once she realized she hadn't been paying enough attention to stop her.

"Lulu! I told you to stop doing that!"

Lulu stared down at the bottle she had just stuffed upside-down into the front of her pampers, then back up at her mother with wide eyes. Her diaper was now bloated in the front, saturated with apple juice. It was so full that Jade could see it starting to spill out from the leak guards of her diaper and begin to poll on the carpet below her.

"Here, get up!" Jade ordered, swiftly pulling a blanket from the couch beside her and tossing it on the floor where Lulu had just been sitting. As Lulu stood up her diaper sagged, letting more apple juice spill out onto the blanket Jade had laid out. Looking at Lulu's face now made it obvious she was more amused than anything else. She was sucking on her thumb but she wore an obvious grin on her face. She bobbed up and down letting her diaper giggle about, chuckling quietly to herself as she did.

"When am I going to get through to you that those diapers are for when you need to go potty, NOT to just pour your juice into!?"

Lulu paused her playful dancing and looked up at her mother with those big eyes that could make one's anger melt away in an instant. That was if they hadn't dealt with her shenanigans for years.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Jade asked sternly. "You're in trouble! Take this blanket with you and go to your room right now!"

With a pout and a stomp of her foot Lulu begrudgingly picked up the blanket and dragged it between her legs as she trudged out of the room. Lulu's diapers cost a small fortune when she used them like she was supposed to, let alone how often she decided to spontaneously stuff food or drinks down her pants whenever she didn't feel hungry or thirsty. It was a waste. Although she barely knew any better. She was very young at heart despite her age. She just knew that whenever she needed a change that her mother would be there to help her out. That was her role, and although it was annoying at times, she would have been lying if she said she didn't enjoy it.
