I wrote this a while back for Allthegirls on the day the girls were going to give their dolls a bath. Auds was concerned for their safety, both physically and emotionally.

DIZZY DOLLS

"Bella," Rosie whispers. "Wake up. Today is Dizzy Day." I open my eyes and look around the bedroom, surprised not to see the other girls.

"How do you know?" I ask. I don't see our human anywhere.

"She is gathering up the others and I can hear the water filling in the big machine."

"Oh, I am so glad!" I cheered. "I love Dizzy Day! And Peggy needs her hair washed and Muriel has jelly on her tummy and tush. Remember? Audrey laid her down on the kitchen counter."

"Jelly-belly-butt!" Rosie giggled.

I love my friends. We are like the best of sisters even though we each have a different mummy. Iris is the name of my mum and even though she is only a baby herself, she takes very good care of me. She strokes my cheek and makes me feel safe and warm. She loves me whole bunches.

Today we will be going for a spin in the dizzy machine. Our human Audrey, fills it up with water and suds then it washes us clean. It's loads of fun!

Audrey comes to pick me and Rosie up. She cuddles us tight before she plops us in the water. "I'm sorry," she whispers. I try to tell her not to worry, because I can see she is afraid of what will happen once she closes the lid. But humans can't hear us dolls. Humans think we just sit around all day and stare. Ha!

Muriel and Peggy are already inside waiting for the ride to start. The lid closes and it goes pitch black.

At first we swish just a little back and forth. This is the part where we all try to hold each other's hands before the ride goes faster. I reach for Rosie but her hand is already slippery from the soap suds. "Hold on Bella, here we go!" She yells and zoom!

Back and forth, round and round we twirl and flop as the ride speeds up. Peggy's leg is in my tummy, then Muriel's arm wraps around my leg. "Hold your breath good and tight!" I tell them as our heads go under the water then back up again. We giggle and laugh and shriek with the thrill of it all. Round and round and round we spin until all the water is gone and we are plastered to the sides.

"That was so much fun!" Peggy says and is gasping for breath.

"Bella, did you feel my foot in your face?" Rosie asks me in between giggles.

"I hope your sticky jelly butt is clean Muriel," I say. We all crack up laughing so hard we are sure Audrey can hear us.

The lid opens and the light shines in. A worried face looks in, smiles and sighs with relief.

We are safe. We are clean. We are loved.
