The comment about the bed didn’t stop. It returned the next morning. And the one after that. Each time, her words were slightly different, but the feeling was the same.

At first, I joked about it. I asked if her stuffed animals had taken over. I teased her gently, trying to keep things light.
She shook her head every time.
“No, Mom. I cleaned it.”
