Two alluring teenage girls started wondering what the hell they signed up for. Akiko and Katara had only arrived at a brand new daycare center. Some of their other classmates were also there. The daycare had offered part-time employment to the high school students. It wouldn't be much in monetary terms, yet it'd least look promising on future college applications.
As of now? Katara and Akiko had arrived for their first shift. They'd both babysat various youngsters before. In fact? One of the children at the daycare happened to be Akiko's boyfriend, Zuko's five-year-old sister, Kiyi. Usually, Kiyi would've gone straight home to the posh mansion that her family owned.
However, Zuko's family's two enterprises had an emergency, forcing even Zuko to help this week. So there wasn't anyone to watch Kiyi this week. This is again why Akiko and Katara agreed to start today. Akiko wanted to make certain Kiyi was alright. Katara, on the other hand? She didn't want to do anything without her best friend. Therefore, they agreed to show up for their first shift together. It all seemed to be going well at first.
Akiko guided Kiyi over to an activity table. Another teenager was assisting the children in learning how to construct sculptures with kid-friendly clay. Kiyi hugged her brother's girlfriend before sitting down to make a sculpture. "Do you think she'll be alright?" Akiko wondered nervously, to which Katara nodded.
"I'm confident she'll be just fine, Akiko. So now I'm going to assist at the reading table. Seeing how learning how to read and write is so fundamental."
"Okay, I'm confident you'll do an incredible job. As for myself? I'm going to put on a puppet show for the toddlers." The girls smiled before heading off to their respective activities with the kiddies.
Roughly two hours later, most of the kids were getting picked up. So the teen assistants were helping the stragglers with picking up the toys before their parents came. Kiyi had been assisting Akiko in putting away the puppet stage when a three-year-old boy showed up. For some reason, he seemed fascinated by Akiko's large breast.
Akiko didn't appreciate how he was scrutinizing her. Finally, however, she stood up to address the slightly creepy boy. "Yes, can I help you?" she kindly asked the little boy. "Are they real?" he asked, pointing directly to her breast. Immediately the sixteen-year-old turned beet red. She'd never envisioned a toddler asking such an inappropriate question.
She wondered why he'd even consider asking that at his age. However, the fact he was only three didn't alter the reality. It was massively unacceptable. Akiko wasn't about to let it slide due to his age. "Excuse me, young man. But that's a considerably inappropriate question. You shouldn't speak to any lady like that. Nor ask them such a question. It's wrong," she told him firmly, leaving no room for rebuttal.
"But my daddy asked it. So why can't I?" the youngster questioned, to which Akiko narrowed her jade green eyes. "Your daddy isn't setting a good example for you if he isn't teaching what is appropriate conduct," her arms now folded across her chest.
She gave the young boy a rather frightening look. Then told him straight up, "Here is what you need to understand, little boy, that its inappropriate to even think that. Let alone voice it aloud. It doesn't matter if you're a child either. There is no excuse for such unbecoming manners. In short, young man? It doesn't change the fact this is unacceptable behavior." she articulated firmly to him.
Truthfully Akiko feared how much offensive behavior this child had been exposed to. Therefore she resolved to nip this in the bud! She decided to address it with the child's parents when they arrived. This was a serious problem that needed to be addressed now. Not later now.
She sat the child down at a nearby table. Then calmly and straightforwardly, she clarified what is suitable behavior verse what isn't acceptable behavior. She didn't raise her voice but kept firm eye contact and talked clearly. Twenty minutes later, the kid's mama came to get him.
Akiko politely informed the mother they needed to speak in private. She described what had transpired and that its inexcusable. It didn't matter his age; he needed to be taught now that this behavior wasn't permissible.
If people didn't address it now? He'd assume its alright later as children are highly impressionable. Therefore they'd need to be taught as young as possible what is okay and what isn't.
She wasn't accusing the mother or her husband of anything. Instead, she suggested the mother be more conscious of what she and her husband said and did. For their child would mimic it whether it was acceptable or not.
The mother divulged she had been perturbed about it. She explained that they were going through a divorce due to his father's disrespectful and unbecoming behavior. Furthermore, she didn't want her son exposed to any additional examples.
Akiko replied she was glad to hear she was taking it seriously. And again to do her best to ensure this didn't happen again. The mom did make her son apologize to Akiko, which he did. It didn't sound forced but sincere, so Akiko accepted it.
Shortly afterward, the daycare closed for the day. Akiko buckled Kiyi into her car seat before driving her and Katara back to their homes for the night. As she headed back to her apartment, she only hoped that child wouldn't learn any more inappropriate behavior from that disgusting daddy.
