Too many choices often frustrated the little girl. While she loved having many options to choose from, she could never make up her mind.
Kneeling on the bed with a small assortment of diapers in front of her, she shrugged her shoulders at which one to pick. She felt them for thickness, for fluffiness and for match with the little white dress her Daddy had put her in for their night out-n-about.
“Which one should I pick, Daddy?” she asked him with a little voice. “I have all these diapers and only one little bottom.”
“Princess,” her Daddy replied. “Bring them all. We’ll go through them one at a time. You only have one little bottom, but it’s one little bottom that will need changed.”
The little girl smiled and scooped up all the diapers, putting them into her diaper bag – save for one in her hand which she handed to him. She lied down on the bed and smiled up at her Daddy as he unfolded the diaper and slid it beneath her. Parting her legs, she smiled again, realizing that the problem wasn’t with how many diapers she had but with the fact that she could only wear one of them at a time.
She decided, right then and there, that she would make certain to use all of the diapers that night. It seemed like the only way to be fair.
