The Truth

Pacifier Obsession

  Evie sighed as she watched the tiny toddler on the ground scrible on a piece of paper with her child proof washable markers sucking on that stupid pacifier that Evie had bought her. It had been a few weeks since Mal had gotten the shots and Evie had made the mistake of buying her that stupid pack of pacifiers.

She knew that she was going to regret buying them, but she didn't think that Mal would really become that obsessed with the pacifiers. Oh boy was she wrong. Mal wouldn't do anything without her pacifier and it was driving Evie crazy. Mal would even refuse to give it up even during meal time. It was becoming harder to get Mal to eat as she didn't want to stop sucking on her pacifier. The only way to get her to eat now was to physically take the pacifier out of her mouth and refuse to give it back until she ate.

Evie just groaned as she couldn't stand watching her little sister suck on that pacifier anymore. She never should have bought the stupid thing. Pacifiers were unsanitary and they caused dental problems. She remembered how the dentist that she took Mal to about a week ago told her that pacifiers were bad for toddlers and that she should start weaning her off of it.

Evie just got up from her seat as she grabbed the purple pacifier from her little sister's mouth as her motherly instincts were kicking in and she began to worry about letting Mal keep using the pacifier and all the harmful effects that she was allowing to happen by letting her keep using it.

This just caused Mal to start crying as she reached for the pacifier. "Paci! Mommy gib paci ba! I wan paci ba mommy! Mommy gib ba!" the tiny toddler screamed out as she kept reaching for the pacifier in Evie's hands. Mal had stopped calling Evie by her name a few weeks ago when she got the shots and she now only called Evie mommy as Mal began to see Evie as her mommy and not her big sister especially after getting the shots as Evie had taken care of her and made her feel better when she was sick and in pain just like how a mommy does.

Evie let out a frustrated sigh as she watched the tiny toddler scream and cry for the stupid pacifier in her hands. It was taking all of Evie's strength to resist giving the pacifier back to her, but she needed to be strong. She couldn't keep letting the two year old use the pacifier. Especially when she was so attached to it.

"Mal you don't need your paci. Pacifiers are for babies and you are a big girl. You don't need this pacifier. You have your dragon and all of your toys. You don't need this okay, so say bye bye to your paci," Evie told the toddler as she tried to convince her that she didn't need the pacifier, so Evie could get rid of it.

Mal just looked at Evie who was holding her pacifier and refusing to give it back. She wanted her pacifier and she didn't care if it was for babies she wanted it back. "Paci no bye bye. I wan paci! Gib paci ba! Pwease no bye bye paci! I no wan paci go bye bye! Mommy pwease gib paci ba!" the tiny girl screamed and cried out as she kept trying to get the pacifier from Evie.

Evie was trying so hard to resist her sister's screams, but as soon as she looked into the tiny girl's innocent little sad eyes she couldn't do it. She just sighed as she gave in to the toddler again as she handed the pacifier back to the now happy toddler. Mal just smiled so big as she held the pacifier to her. "Paci! I wob you paci! Yay Paci ba!" the tiny girl screamed out excitedly as she placed the pacifier back into her mouth enjoying the soothingness and comfort that it brought.

Evie just let out a sad sigh as her attempt to get rid of the pacifier didn't work. She then put on a fake smile as she looked at the toddler. She had started to research ways to get rid of the pacifier and one of the ways if cold turkey didn't work was to try limiting where the toddler can use the pacifier.

"Mal if I'm letting you keep your paci then your paci is going to stay here. You can't bring it to Olivia's house when you go over there while I'm at school and you can't bring it to the dinning hall or anywhere else. Your paci does not leave this room. Do you understand me Mal? You can keep it, but you can't use it anywhere other than here," Evie told the tiny toddler. She wanted to try limiting the pacifier to only the dorm in hopes that it will eventually stop her from using it altogether.
