"Yes, baby," Anne said with a smile.

"You can get your candy, too. We just have to watch that Harper doesn't get it," Jack said as they wandered the aisles. Finally they came to what appeared to be cookies, though he couldn't read the packages.

"You can put my candy up until I want it, right?

A kind lady understood Ruby and smiled before confirming they were cookies. Almond cookies, she said.

Samantha squealed and smiled at the nice lady.

"Thank you so much!" she said in English forgetting she was meant to be speaking Chinese.

"Daddy!

"Yes, she did. Good job," Jack said, smiling until he noticed her wet bottom. "Ruby! Why didn't you tell me you had to go potty?" he asked. "I guess you better pick out whatever candy you want here, because you're not going anywhere else like that..."

[Ishigreensa]

"What?" Ruby asked surprised and then looked down at her pants.

"Ruby, stop it. Don't cry. Just pick out your candy so we can go," Jack said calmly, wanting to wait until he discussed the incident with Anne before making any threats about diapers.

[Ishigreensa]

"But...," she sniffled and tried hard not to cry, but it was really hard.

"Ruby, you're going to get me wet too, now stop it. I'm not picking you up when you're like this. Just pick out your candy now, or we're leaving."

She looked down and started to cry even more, sitting down and not moving now.
