Persistent Odd Actions
At first, Dorothy thought it was just a phase. Aiden continued to stare into his pants for a whole thirty minutes. She decided to give her son the benefit of the doubt and not overreact, but the behavior persisted every day for a week. Dorothy began to worry even more as Aiden’s behavior was too strange to be dismissed as a simple quirk of a curious child.
Dorothy’s mind was racing with possibilities. Maybe he was just a curious young boy? After all, he wasn’t a baby anymore and was now turning into a curious toddler who wanted to learn more about the world. But the more she witnessed this strange behavior, the more she realized that he wasn’t curious. He was just staring, and he seemed transfixed, which made her feel uneasy.
