The Poopy Surprise

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tommy. He loved playing outside, eating ice cream, and going to bed with his favorite teddy bear. Tommy's mom always tucked him in at night, giving him a kiss on the forehead and wishing him sweet dreams. One night, when the moon was shining bright, something unexpected happened. Tommy accidentally pooped in his bed!

When Tommy woke up the next morning, he realized what had happened. His bed was all messy and smelly. He felt so embarrassed and worried about what his mom would say. He quickly got out of bed and tried to clean up the mess.

Just as Tommy was trying his best to clean up, his mom walked into the room. She saw the messy bed and her face turned from happy to surprised. She wasn't happy about what had happened. But instead of getting angry, she took a deep breath and knelt down beside Tommy.

Mom gently explained to Tommy that accidents happen sometimes, especially when we are still learning to control our bodies. She told him it's important to try our best and ask for help when we need it. With a loving smile, she reassured Tommy that she still loved him, even with the little accident.

After talking to his mom, Tommy felt a little bit better. They cleaned up together and changed the sheets on his bed. Mom reminded Tommy to always go to the bathroom before bedtime so accidents like this wouldn't happen again. From that day on, Tommy made sure to listen to his mom's advice.

From that night forward, Tommy never had another accident in his bed. And whenever he felt worried, he knew that his mom would always be there to love and support him. They lived happily ever after, with a clean and poop-free bedtime.
