Kevin's Birthday I turned 15 in November of 1999 and as part of my present, my parents took me and my friend Ryan to New York City for the weekend. We live like 45 minutes from the city but I never stayed there because my dad works in the city and he never wants to go back on the weekends with us. My friend Ryan knows I wet the bed and wear diapers still because he sleeps at my house a lot. He wore diapers at my house when he was like 12 or 13 but I thought he stopped wetting at night. Even though he knew I wore them, I was still really embarrassed. When we got to the hotel it was like noon on Friday. Our parents let us skip school that day. Me and Ryan unpacked in our room. We got two rooms. One for me and Ryan and another for my parents. As we were unpacking I saw my diapers at the bottom of the suitcase. I was looking at them for a while. I really didn't want Ryan to see them. I wanted him to think I didn't need them anymore. We finished unpacking. I just left my diapers in the bottom of my suitcase. We put on our bathing suits and got my mom to take us down to the pool. We went swimming for like four fours in this big indoor pool. Then we tried the gym equipment. Then my mom said we needed to go to our rooms and get ready for dinner. We went to a restaurant called "Chez Josephine" We saw Callista Flockhart from Ally McBeal there. She was doing a play in N.Y.C. After dinner, we walked in Central Park for a while and the went on a cruise to see the statue of liberty at night. When we got back to our rooms it was like 11:30. My mom and dad went to their room and Ryan and I saw that there was a Nintendo 64 built into the TV. We had to pay for that by the hour so we asked my dad if we could play and he bought us 2 hours. Ryan took off his sneakers and sat at the foot of is bed across from the TV I said that I was gonna get ready for bed. I opened the dresser drawer and got a pair of pjs. Ryan was watching me. As I was walking into the bathroom I heard Ryan ask me the question that I didn't want to hear. "Hey Kev, are you still wearing diapers to bed?" I could feel my face getting red "Uh... well... sometimes..."I stuttered. "Oh, cool. Do you think I could grab one?" he asked "Wow! This is great! I'm not alone!" I thought to myself. I said, "I thought you stopped wetting the bed" Ryan said, "Not really, but I really didn't want you to know. I was embarrassed." "No, I still wear 'em" I said. Ryan said that he didn't even bring any because he didn't want me to see him in them. I brought some medium Goodnites just in case I didn't want to wear the Pampers. Ryan didn't really fit too good in pampers anymore. I was just real skinny for my height and I could still squeeze into them. I think they work better than all the others. I gave Ryan a Goodnite. While I was in the bathroom putting on my pampers, Ryan changed into his diaper. When I got out of the bathroom, Ryan was standing there in just the Goodnites. They looked a little tight on him. I told him that if he had an accident, they would probably leak all over. He said he had a good idea. He wanted to stick one of my regular diapers inside the Goodnites. I gave him a pamper. He went into the bathroom. He said that he tried taping them on himself like I do but they were way too small. I told him to pull the front of the diaper up so it stuck out of the Goodnites and that way if he peed, he would leak so much. We played Nintendo for the two hours. Halfway through, I had too pee. I asked Ryan what I should do. If I peed in the toilet, Id have to take off the diaper and I didn't have enough left for the next night for the both of us. Then I said, "Well, I'll just ask my parents to buy more tomorrow." Ryan said, "NO! Then they'll wonder what happened to all of your diapers and I don't want them to know I still wear them!" I know how embarrassing it is to still wear diapers at night when you're our age so I said "OK , I guess I gotta pee in the diaper." "Sorry" Ryan said. I slowly let it trickle out. We both looked at the front of my diaper as if we never saw a diaper get wet before. Ryan made a good point. He said " We never get to see or feel what its like to wet the diaper. We're always asleep when we're wetting it." I know what he means even though I can remember being in wet diapers when I was like five. But usually when I wake up in the morning, the diaper is just cold and heavy but not real wet. The front of my diaper got kind of dark. You could smell all the pee. It was a lot. When I got up to look at myself in the mirror, the pamper started sagging. We finished playing Nintendo and then watched TV We got thirsty so I got some change out of my suitcase and told Ryan I'd go down the hall to the vending machine and get some drinks. I just picked up my pj bottoms that I wasn't wearing and slipped them on over my diaper. I just stepped into Ryan's Nike that were in front of his bed. I didn't care how dumb I looked cause I didn't think anyone would see me. I just clomped down the hall in his shoes that were like 3 sizes too big for me. At the soda machine, I picked Sprite and a Coke. I started to put in the money when a cleaning guy walked into the vending room. He was pushing a big cart of towels. I got really nervous. I thought he could smell my wet diaper. I dropped two quarters and one landed inside Ryan's sneaker because of the big gap in them. The other rolled under the machine. I bent over to try and get it and the guy said "I'll get it." When I bent over to get the one in the Nike, he saw my diaper stick out over my pants. I didn't realize that until I saw his face. Then I looked down and saw a wet spot on my pjs. I didn't know that my diaper was so leaky. I didn't really feel any dripping. I just stood there in my wet baby diapers leaking. I knew I would never see him again but I was still real embarrassed. When I got back to the room I kicked off Ryan's shoes and took off my wet pj pants and threw them in the bath tub. Ryan grabbed a Coke and asked me what took me so long. When I explained, he just laughed. We watched TV for a little bit. I hated having to go to bed so leaky but I had no choice. As I started to think about it, I thought to myself that it wasn't my fault that he didn't bring his diapers. Its a good thing for him that I brought extra. I told him that I wanted him to be wet too. He said " I know! I'm sorry about this." I said "I feel like a loser, and a BABY being here with you wearing soggy pampers. He said "I am embarrassed too" I said "Yeah but at least you're not soaked!!!" He said " well... all right.. the diaper stretched out my Goodnite so I'll take out the pamper and wet the Goodnite on purpose. He did. "Good." I said "How does it feel?" Ryan said " I feel just as stupid as I do when I wake up in a wet diaper at home, only I feel worse cause I did it on purpose." "Well, I wet my diaper so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of my parents. At least you can feel as dumb as I do right now." "I guess you're right" he said. We fell asleep around 2:30. At like 3:30 I woke up cause I heard something. It was Ryan standing in front of the mirror tugging at his wet diaper. He was trying to wipe away the pee that was running out the side of the diaper. He was wiping it away with one of his dirty socks that was on the ground. I could tell that he must have wet when he was asleep and being that wet was bothering him so I sat up and said he could use my other Goodnite if he wanted. He said" Oh man, I wet again..." I interrupted and said" those diapers cant take more than one wetting." He said "No kidding." He changed and went back to bed. The next day was much better. No accidents at night anyway. We still wore diapers but we didn't wet them. I hope Ryan and I stop bedwetting soon.
