Chapter 9: Baby Cindy Puts a Target on Her Diaper
The party started to wind down around 6 pm. Kids were being picked up by parents and everyone was heading home after a long afternoon of festivities. Mommy got a packed backpack for Sally from the trunk and gave it to Aunt Debra. Everyone began saying their good-byes, giving hugs and kisses. A young, short Woman approached Mommy, Baby Cindy turned and saw her holding Connor, looking a little awkward again. “Hello Joan, it was so great meeting you and Cindy.” said Connor’s Mommy. “Likewise Christina! Connor was just darling.” She smiled at the little baby in his Mommy’s arms. “I think Connor has taken a real shine to Cindy, I’ve heard so many great things about how she plays with other kids.” Connor’s Mommy gushed. “Well we should set a playdate. Baby Cindy can always use more playmates closer to her development.” Joan assured. The two exchanged numbers and Baby Cindy sighed knowing she hadn’t seen the last of Connor. Baby Cindy and Lily each gave each other head kisses. Lily cooing and waving, glad to spend the day with her infinitely interesting pamper packer of a big baby cousin. Katie also gave Baby Cindy a quick hug before letting go quick. “She smells kind of funny, may wanna check her Aunt Joan” Katie giggled as Joan chuckled and Sally sighed at Katie’s immaturity.
Before they left, Sally helped Mommy bring Baby Cindy back to the car. Mommy opened the backseat and Sally helped Baby Cindy into her carseat. “I’m gonna miss you Baby Cindy, but I’ll see you tomorrow OK’” Sally promised her. Cindy was still upset about going home without her, cooing and pouting. But just giving her a big hug, not having much of a choice. Sally gave her one last tummy tickle and got out of the car as Mommy closed the door from the front seat. The minivan pulled out of the driveway as Sally waved alongside Aunt Debra and Baby Lily. Baby Cindy watched as Katie pulled Sally back inside to play as Baby Cindy drove home with Mommy, not even dancing to the baby music Mommy had put on. “It'll be tomorrow before you know it honey” She cooed to the backseat, as Baby Cindy sulked into her paci, “Plus now you get Mommy all to yourself, aren’t you lucky!” she teased as Baby Cindy perked up a bit. Bouncing a bit to the music.
Baby Cindy looked out the windows and noticed they weren’t driving the way they usually do to go home. She watched as Mommy pulled into a strip mall full of big chain stores. Mommy pulled into a Target parking lot and managed to get a good parking spot. Mommy exited the car and opened the door to let Baby Cindy out. “I just need to grab a few things honey, it shouldn’t take long” Baby Cindy stood up and watched Mommy go through her diaper bag, pulling out a pink pony harness and bag. Putting a pack around Baby Cindy and clipping a strap over her chest. Baby Cindy follows along with Mommy leashed up and waddling beside her. They entered the front store and were greeted by an employee, who cooed softly at Baby Cindy, a friendly response that wasn’t too uncommon from strangers. “Good evening Ma’am, do you need to know where the baby section is?” She asked with a truly welcoming smile. “How did you know?” Mommy chuckled as she got directions and went on her way with Cindy. For an eyesore of a toddler, Baby Cindy was dressed in such a way that agreed with who she was. It was that reason a few people were easily endeared to the big crinkler.
Mommy got out a little shopping basket and walked down the aisles, Baby Cindy trying to keep up and seeing more faces, other babies sitting in strollers, none of them dressed quite as babyish as the titular Baby Cindy. Mommy brought them to the baby aisle, going through to get formula and some extra changing supplies. Baby Cindy followed along as another Mother entered the aisle with her cart, a young girl no older than 2 was sitting in the cart seat. Mommy gave the other shopper a smile, as their two babies locked eyes. The little girl looking almost a little scared of such a big baby. Confusing her a little bit. She held on tight to a stuffed glimmering dragon she had brought into the store with her. At the same time, Baby Cindy immediately eyed the dragon and was so impressed with what a cool stuffie she had. She tapped Mommy who turned around, “What’s wrong honey.” She looked back, Baby Cindy pointed to the cart and the stuffie inside, “I wan pwease?” She asked behind her paci, trying to be a little syrupy for Mommy. “No Honey, we’re not getting new toys today.” Baby Cindy looked back and was getting upset. After spending the whole day at the birthday party, watching Katie’s pile of presents getting higher and higher, it wasn’t fair that she could just have one toy. She started to stomp her feet a bit in protest at Mommy’s verdict. The other Mother moved a little bit up noticing the commotion as the little girl kept watch of the big baby’s temper tantrum
“Baby Cindy! this is very unbecoming of a Princess.” Mommy warned her, Baby Cindy was so anxious and not standing down, only Sally could really calm her in a situation like this and she was away, Baby Cindy was back in brat mode and did the only thing related to “power” she had. She bent her legs and started to push, clenching her paci and finding something in her body to expel. feeling the formula from earlier doing some work and squatting in the aisle. She made some huffy noises behind her pacifier, producing a warm, runny poopy into the seat, along with a gnarly formula fart. Baby Cindy’s diaper less expanded as it got stained by the mucky butt. The mother of the little girl covered her mouth in shock as the little girl clapped for Baby Cindy, giving her a baby's approval in her tantrum. Baby Cindy looked back at Mommy feeling self satisfied, while Mommy just smirked, “Honey, you’ve been doing that all day, for the past few years now. You’re not getting your toy.” Mommy gave a harsh tug again and the two of them kept walking. Baby Cindy felt her bottom squish as they made their way down the aisles. Waddling along knowing any other outburst wouldn’t go her way.
Mommy went to the self checkout line, going through the few items she had. Baby Cindy stood behind her, stinking up the small space as other customers were taking notice and trying to be polite despite the pungent odor radiating off the big baby’s bottom. “Mommy that big baby smells like poop” a little boy told his Mommy who hushed them trying to fane politeness. Baby Cindy could feel the discomfort, and was feeling a little self conscious with Mommy’s attitude. She cooed at Mommy who didn’t look back, “You’re not getting changed until we get home, that’s your fault young lady.” She bagged everything up, but not before announcing, “I’m sorry everyone, this one has been a handful all day” Mommy tugged again and Baby Cindy almost fell on her bottom as she followed behind as fast as she could. To some chuckles, they exited the store and went back to the car. Mommy strapped Baby Cindy back in and sighed as she rolled down the windows for the drive home.
