Becky pulled her chin up to look over the edge of the table at the noisy machine.
“Are… are you sure?”
“Yes,” her mother said. “This will fix it. Don’t touch that.”
Becky yanked her hand back away from the pointy thing.
The machine whirred. Mother snipped the loose threads. Then Teddy was back in Becky’s arms.
“And what did we learn from this?”
“Never put Teddy in the dishwasher. And.. and if you do, then don’t put in a whole bar of soap. Or Fluffy. Fluffy didn’t mean to scratch me or Teddy. She just didn’t like the bubbles. And call Mommy right away.”
“Close enough.”
