On Saturday morning, Encyclopedia Erickson was washing the dishes while Marie sat on the floor by her feet, drinking out of her sippy cup. When she concluded the chore, Encyclopedia picked up Marie. Her onesie was soaked!
"That's odd," Encyclopedia said. "Did your sippy cup leak?"
She checked the seal on the lid. It was still screwed tightly.
"Did I spill water on the floor when I was washing the dishes?"
The counters and the front of the cabinets were dry, which negated the idea of a dishwashing spill.
Encylopedia Erickson changed Marie into a fresh set of clothes and noted that Marie's diaper was still dry, so at least the saturated onesie wasn't a result of a diaper malfunction. But it was still a mystery.
Monday morning at breakfast, Marie was enjoying a banana and periodically taking sips of water. Encyclopedia noticed something unusual. After Marie took a drink of water, she deliberately opened her mouth and let the water dribble down her chin and into her bib.
"Ah ha!" Encyclopedia exclaimed. "I know why Marie had such wet onesie this weekend!"
