16. A Mom Explains the Plan

A couple of screens further down the page, I gave up on finding any answers that made sense to me. The worst thing was that almost every answer said not to worry about the health warnings; and several suggested putting stickers over them to prevent the daughter noticing. It felt like there was some kind of code there, or something. Or the words "naughty" and "accident" didn't mean what they normally meant. But then I finally got to the highlight that had brought me to this page, a reply from a user whose profile picture showed the words "@Momma Cody", although the username beneath was %CopeSpike.

I went back to reading my story for a few minutes, just in case the teachers wanted to know what I'd been doing. But I couldn't focus. I needed to know if there were actually answers here, rather than just a bunch more questions. Eventually, I gave up on pretending to read a story and went back to learning.

This answer was actually informative; but the more I read, the more I knew there was something very wrong.
