Chapter 1: The Paper Routes

 

Bobby was a 13 year old boy who had a newspaper route to earn some extra money. Every morning he got up at 5:00 AM to retrieve his bundle of newspapers, which he then distributed to about 100 different families in a twelve-block radius. He had to be finished by 6:30 AM or some of his customers would complain. Bobby couldn't understand why anybody would want to get up that early to read a newspaper unless he had to. Bobby would have preferred to sleep ‘til 9:00 if he didn't have to go to school. Anyway, he needed the money, because his parents couldn't afford to give him any allowance, like the other kids his age at school. So each morning he begrudgingly set his alarm clock, got up and delivered the papers. The truck which carried the papers always delivered the bundles at 5:00 AM or so, and there were always several different bundles for several different routes. Bobby couldn't understand why the people who delivered the other routes didn't have to be there as early as he did, but the fact was, he was off and running to deliver his papers long before the other paper carriers got to the corner where the bundles were dropped.

 

One day, there was a break in the routine. When Bobby got to the corner where the papers were delivered, there was another boy already there, and folding the papers for his route. Bobby introduced himself, and the other kid said his name was Jimmy and he had just started delivering papers. Jimmy was also 13 years old, but they did go to different schools. Jimmy's parents were there in a car to help him the first few days to learn the route, but after that, Jimmy was going to have to ride his bike to deliver the papers, the same way that Bobby did.

 

So, for the first few days, not much was said between the two boys, other than an occasional "Hi Ya,” or "How's it going?” But when Jimmy showed up on his own without his parents, and both boys started folding the papers and putting them into cellophane protectors before delivering the papers, they started to become more friendly, because, frankly, folding papers can be a boring job.

 

"Where's your route, Jimmy,” Bobby asked while they were folding the papers. It just so happened that their routes were fairly close together.

 

Then Bobby had a brainstorm. Since folding and delivering newspapers was such a boring job, especially in the wee hours of the morning, Bobby had a suggestion for Jimmy.

 

"Why don't we become partners? We will merge the two routes, and we will do them together. We will still collect the money separately, but it will be a lot less boring if we have each other's company while we fold and deliver the papers,” Bobby said to Jimmy.

 

Jimmy, who really wasn't too enthused about the paper route to begin with, readily agreed, and the partnership, and subsequently the friendship was sealed.

 

This went on for a couple of weeks, and it became a fun thing to do, rather than being a chore. They would see who could throw the paper the furthest while riding a bike, or hit the target such as a bench on a front porch. There were lots of laughs and what started as a job, became something both boys started to look forward to each morning.

 

Chapter 2 -- The Storm

 

One morning, while the boys were waiting for the truck to deliver the papers, it started to rain.

 

"This sucks!” exclaimed Bobby, as both boys tried to keep themselves dry under a tree near the corner.

 

"You're telling me,” replied Jimmy, and both boys laughed as their clothes became dripping wet despite the tree shelter. The papers were finally delivered late, and both boys in an attempt to keep the papers as dry as possible before putting them in the cellophane protector, proceeded to become totally drenched themselves.

 

They laughed, and then Jimmy exclaimed, " I got to laughing so hard, I have to go to the bathroom".

 

Bobby took a doubtful look all around, and said laughingly, "I don't see a bathroom around here,” and both boys laughed.

 

Bobby then said, "Hey look, you are so totally drenched anyway, why don't you just go in your pants. Nobody would know, and it's not like I would tell anybody, cause we don't have the same friends and we don't even go to the same school.”

 

Jimmy laughed, and said that it wasn't a bad idea, but he thought he could hold it until he got home.

 

Bobby told him in a joking manner, that it might be unhealthy to hold your pee that long, and said, "Hey, I got to go to the bathroom too, and I am just going to go in my pants,” and so he stood up, became very quiet, and closed his eyes, and finally said, "I'm doing it! I'm peeing in my pants!”

 

Jimmy said, "No way!"

 

Bobby said, "Yes, way!"

 

Jimmy was laughing hard and said, "There's no way I can tell if you are telling the truth or not. You looked like you peed your pants ten minutes ago, but whether or not you are telling the truth, I am going to pee my pants,” and with that, he was quiet for a second, and let it go in his pants.

 

"You know something, that felt really good!" exclaimed Jimmy.

 

"I know," replied Bobby, "I thought it felt good too! I think I will do it again when we finish delivering these rags, uh I mean wet newspapers".

 

Jimmy laughed, and said he was going to do it again, and nobody would ever know.

 

Both boys swore to secrecy about their "naughty" activities, but secretly, both boys hoped they had to deliver in the rain in the near future to repeat the experience.

 

Chapter 3 -- The Quarry

 

Not much was said about the day the rains came, but both boys remained friends and continued their newspaper partnership. When school let out for the summer, and the weather started to heat up, the two boys decided one morning that after they delivered the papers, went home and had breakfast, they would meet afterwards at the quarry to go swimming.

 

The quarry was a swimming hole for the kids, even though the authorities had signs to not swim there for safety's sake, but they never really enforced the no swimming rule and the kids would go there to swim when the days got hot. Even though the water was deep, and somebody had tied a rope from an overhanging tree limb, which was used to swing on and to jump into the water, there never had been any kind of accident, which would have forced the community to fence in the quarry.

 

So Bobby and Jimmy met there this one morning and were having fun swinging on the rope and jumping into the quarry waters. There were a bunch of kids there, and everybody was having a good time. Finally, when the kids got hungry, they one by one started leaving for their respective homes.

 

Bobby asked Jimmy if he wanted to have lunch at his house, and up to this time, neither boy had gone to the other boy’s home. Jimmy said "Yeah, if your Mom don't mind,” and Bobby said that his Mom had been bugging him to ask Jimmy over so she could meet him.

 

"Hey, my Mom always says the same thing about you!” said Jimmy and so off they went through the woods towards Bobby's home.

 

"Hey Jimmy, you know what?" asked Bobby as they walked along the road.

 

"Hey what?” smiled Jimmy in reply.

 

"You remember that rainy day when we both wet our pants delivering papers?” asked Bobby.

 

"Yeah,” replied Jimmy, who hesitated to say that he had thought about it many times since it happened.

 

"Well, we got wet bathing suits on, and I got ta go to the bathroom right now, and since nobody would know the difference, I'm gonna pee in my bathing suit,” said Bobby.

 

"No way,” answered Jimmy.

 

"Yes way,” replied Bobby, who stopped walking, stood still, and to Jimmy, it really did seem like Bobby was wetting his bathing suit.

 

Seeing some the wet rolling down Bobby's leg, Jimmy exclaimed, "Hey, I really think you are doing it!”

 

"Yep, I really am!” responded Bobby, "and it feels really good!”

 

Jimmy laughed and said, "Well, you aren't going to be the only one having fun, so here goes... I bet I got more pee in me than you,” and with that Jimmy started to pee in his bathing suit, and admitted it was fun.

 

Before continuing their trek to Bobby's house, both boys realized that the pee aroma might be a dead give-away to their activity, they decided to go back to the almost deserted quarry and swim away the tell-tale signs of peeing their pants for fun.

 

And just like the last time, even though both boys would often remind and relive the experience of pants wetting together, neither of them ever mentioned it for several weeks following the incident.

 

Chapter 4 -- Enter The Diaper

 

The friendship between Bobby and Jimmy grew steadily throughout the summer vacation. Bobby was mostly the instigator and Jimmy the follower. When it came time to decide what to do, Bobby made the decisions, and Jimmy's attitude was mostly "Whatever...”

 

And so, it was not surprising that one day as they met at the newspaper bundle corner, Bobby showed up with 2 disposable diapers that he had purchased at a drugstore. He gave one of the disposables to Jimmy, and said, sort of authoritatively, "Here, this one you will wear, and I'll wear the other one."

 

"What is that?” asked Jimmy, eyeing the disposable diaper with uncertainty.

 

"It's a diaper, idiot!” laughed Bobby, "and we are gonna wear them and wet them".

 

"No way!” said Jimmy.

 

"Yes way!” replied Bobby.

 

"After all, we have wet our pants and we have wet our bathing suits. It is time we wet our diapers!” laughed Bobby.

 

"How do you put one on?” asked Jimmy, still not too sure he liked the way this was going.

 

"Well, I am going to show you,” said Bobby, "and I will put it on you if you want".

 

"You first!” offered Jimmy, thinking that Bobby was just joking and jiving him.

 

Bobby, without any hesitation, removed his pants, laid the diaper on the ground, removed his underpants, and lay down on the diaper, and then pulled the diaper through his crotch, and taped it securely. He had no sense of embarrassment being naked in front of Jimmy.

 

"See?” asked Bobby to Jimmy, "Nothing to it, See?"

 

He put his underpants back on over the diaper (stretching the underpants, I'm sure), and then put his pants back on over the underpants.

 

"Now, it's your turn, bro,” said Bobby rather non-gallantly, "What will it be? You do it yourself, or do I have to diaper you,” laughed Bobby.

 

Jimmy, not one to be assertive, gave in grudgingly, and said, "You better do it, I don't think I can."

 

Bobby opened the second diaper and laid it on the ground. "OK, buddy, you know the drill," he laughed.

 

"Can I leave my underpants on, and you put the diaper over it?” he asked Bobby.

 

"No, when you wet the diaper, then, you would be wetting your underpants, silly," retorted Bobby.

 

So, very reluctantly, Jimmy did as Bobby had said, and he was eventually diapered by Bobby, and put on his clothes over the diaper, as Bobby had done.

 

"Now, all that's left to do is to wet the diaper, just like we wet our pants in the rain storm and our bathing suits at the quarry," mentioned Bobby.

 

After delivering the newspapers in their diapers, Bobby asked Jimmy if he had wet them yet.

 

"No, have you?” asked Jimmy.

 

Although it was getting lighter out now, and it was soon to be morning, Bobby took Jimmy to a place where no one who happened to be up at that time could see them.

 

"Here, I'll show you," he said to Jimmy, and with that he undid his belt and unzip his jeans and pulled down his pants, and underpants, and pointed to the diaper where the blue strip had disappeared..."That shows that the diaper is wet," he said to Jimmy, "Now, I'm going to wait until you wet your diaper, it's just as much fun as when we wet our pants and bathing suit.”

 

Jimmy wasn't convinced, but being a follower, he tried with all his might to wet the diaper, but nothing happened.

 

"I can't do it," he whined to Bobby.

 

"Sure, you can, just relax, it is no different than when we wet our pants and bathing suit," said Bobby, "Hey, you don't have to show me like I showed you. Just do it and tell me".

 

And so, with great difficulty at first, Jimmy let a small stream of urine into the diaper, slowly at first, and then it became very easy, and he peed so much, he wondered whether or not the diaper could hold all that pee. But he checked his jeans, and they were still dry.

 

And after peeing his diaper, Jimmy finally had to admit, "That felt pretty good, even better than wetting our pants and bathing suits that time".

 

Bobby had purchased a package of 20 disposable diapers, and during the next few weeks, the boys had experimented with wetting all of them. It wasn't difficult to dispose of the disposables without anybody catching on, and they both admitted that it was really fun.

 

When the twenty diapers had been used, Jimmy asked Bobby to get some more, but Bobby told him, they were too expensive, and besides it took all his courage to buy them in the first place. He had ridden his bike 10 miles to the next town to buy the diapers, because he didn't want anybody to know about them.

 

Chapter 5 -- Making Do

 

"I tell you what you can do, Jimmy, without having to buy diapers,” Bobby proposed to Jimmy, one day, "You can put on a whole bunch of underpants, one over the other, say about five pair, and they not only will feel like you have a diaper on, but it will hold your pee just like a diaper".

 

"You're kidding,” said Jimmy.

 

"Nope, I read it in a book,” lied Bobby.

 

Since they happened to be at Jimmy's house, and since by this time Jimmy had become a real diaper devotee, he went up to his room and let Bobby watch as he put on several pair of underpants, until they wouldn't stretch any more.

 

"Hey, it does feel just as good as a diaper,” he told Bobby, "maybe even better."

 

So he put on his jeans over the makeshift diapers, and they just barely fit (a tight squeeze), and said boldly, "I'm going down stairs where my Mom is and just wet my 'new' diapers in front of her, and she won't know a thing."

 

"Cool,” said Bobby who was actually very proud of the new assertiveness he found in his friend Jimmy.

 

And so, Jimmy proceeded to do exactly as planned, went downstairs where his mom was preparing dinner and said, "Hey, Mom, what's cooking?” and having said this began to wet his pants.

 

But something was going drastically wrong. The makeshift diaper did not pretend to absorb the pee, and the front of Jimmy's jeans began to dampen and pee started running down his legs, and it didn't take long, for Jimmy to realize that Bobby had lied, and the home made diaper didn't work at all.

 

"Oh my God!” he exclaimed.

 

"Oh, Jimmy!” his Mom lamented, "What happened, Did you have an accident....oh yes, I see that you have".

 

Jimmy started to cry. Bobby said he had to get home and left the house immediately.

 

Jimmy's mother tried to console him, saying accidents happen, and suggested Jimmy go upstairs, take a bath and change clothes.

 

Jimmy's face turned beet red, and his embarrassment was only overshadowed by his anger at Bobby who had tricked him. Jimmy's love of diapers and diaper play was immediately ended. Fortunately, Jimmy's mother considered it just a freak accident and nothing more was said, but Jimmy was sure he would never forgive Bobby for this prank.

 

For the next few days, even though the boys saw each other in the morning while they folded their papers, they never talked to each other, and the paper route partnership was ended and each boy delivered the papers to his own route. Bobby tried several times to apologize to Jimmy and tell him he really didn't know that the underpants trick wouldn't work, but Jimmy didn't believe him or trust him.

 

Bobby missed the friendship, and considered buying some more real diapers, but figured that wouldn't work, so one day, he devised another plan.

 

"Hey Jimmy, look at me,” he said to Jimmy while they were folding the papers.

 

Jimmy didn't answer but he did look up.

 

Bobby undid his pants and showed Jimmy how he had put on several pair of underpants to make a home made diaper.

 

"Now if you come over to my house after delivering the papers, I will wet my pants and tell my mom that I had an accident,” explained Bobby, "and that should make us even".

 

Even though Jimmy was reluctant to forgive his former friend, the prospect of seeing Bobby wet his pants for real and be discovered was just too tempting for him to pass up, and gave a hesitant assent to the plan.

 

Chapter 6 -- The Jig is Up -- Caught in the Act

 

Bobby did exactly as he said he would do, after delivering the papers. He and Jimmy went over to his house, and both boys said hello to Bobby's mother who was reading a book in the living room. As she looked up to acknowledge the boys' presence, she noticed a stream of urine running down her son's leg and the dampness growing around the legs of the jeans he was wearing, and a wet spot developing on the living room carpet.

 

She wasn't as nearly as forgiving as Jimmy's mom when Jimmy had endured the previous embarrassment. In fact, she got very angry with Bobby for ruining the carpet.

 

"I'm sorry Mom, really...” lied Bobby and as he started to whimper his apology, his mother sort of saw some humor in the situation, and said to him, "Well if you are going to be so lazy that you can't go to a bathroom like a big boy, I guess I am going to have to put you back in diapers".

 

Of course, she said that as a joke, and didn't mean it, but both boys thought to themselves, how great that sounded. Neither of them would actually admit that the prospect of being put into diapers a real turn on, and Bobby felt his small penis start to harden at the thought.

 

Bobby's mom realized that there really was no good way for her son to find a bathroom on his paper route, relented her initial anger, and told Bobby to go upstairs, take a shower and put the wet clothes in the clothes hamper.

 

Upstairs, Bobby said to Jimmy, "Even up, now?”

 

"I guess so,” said Jimmy, and both boys shook hands, friends once more.

 

Bobby did as he was told, but not thinking the whole business through, made a terrible mistake. He took off the five pair of underpants diapers and put them in the hamper with his wet jeans, thinking nothing of it.

 

But when his Mom removed the wet clothes from the hamper prior to putting them into the washing machine, she discovered 5 pair of wet underpants in the hamper, and she naturally wondered whether her son had worn the 5 pair of underpants when he had wet the living room carpet, or if he really had a wetting problem on five different occasions.

 

She did not mention anything to Bobby right away, but that night, she discussed what had happened with her husband, Bobby's Dad. His Dad didn't know exactly what to do, but they both decided to have a talk with Bobby about the wetting incident or incidents.

 

Bobby was very embarrassed about being discovered, and also quite afraid of having to talk to his parents about it, but there was no way out.

 

His parents asked him about the wet underpants, and Bobby could not even think of a suitable lie that might get him out of trouble. He confessed that he and Jimmy had wet their pants on a rainy day, and wanted to find out what it would be like to wet a diaper, only their diaper that they made didn't work. He left out the part about wetting the disposable diapers and wetting their bathing suits purposely, figuring that those inclusions would only make the situation more unbearable. He mentioned Jimmy's participation because misery loves company.

 

Bobby's parents didn't know what to make of these events, but both of them felt that it was, indeed, strange behavior for the two boys. Since both of them were involved, Bobby's dad was immediately afraid that his son might be gay. Not knowing what to do, they called Jimmy's parents and revealed to them as much as Bobby had revealed to them. Jimmy's parents acknowledged that Jimmy had one time showed up with wet pants, but they had thought it was just a careless accident, but now they were sure it was no accident. Jimmy's parents also weren't sure about what to do, so they suggested that the families go for professional help.

 

Now Bobby's parents were not rich by any means, and lived paycheck to paycheck basically, and were very reluctant to go to a professional, because they felt they could not afford it. But Jimmy's parents were of the opinion that this conduct had to be nipped in the bud, or else might escalate into something even more abnormal.

 

Bobby's parents reluctantly agreed that professional counseling might be the best course of action, and even though they didn't really know how they were going to pay for it, they said they would go along at least once, and asked Jimmy's parents to make the appointment.

 

When Bobby and Jimmy were told of the counseling session, they nearly flipped out, but they had no vote in the matter.

 

Chapter 7 -- The Psychiatrist

 

Dr. Phillips was a renowned psychiatrist who specialized in family problems. When he had heard a brief summary of the events from Jimmy's parents, at first he felt why was there such a big fuss over a seemingly minor matter, but years of experience had taught him that while on the surface, there were only superficial issues, beneath the surface, sometimes lay some pretty profound emotions that needed exploration. When the six people, two sets of parents and two kids, assembled in his office, the psychiatrist gave a brief overview of what he hoped to accomplish and then said that he would interview each set of parents separately, and then the boys individually.

 

For the parents, he wanted to get an idea of what their fears were, and why they were so upset. From the boys separately, he wanted to find out the whole story, and not just the details they had confessed to the parents, and also, what they were really feeling when they experimented with the homemade diapers.

 

Naturally, both boys were exceedingly frightened, and both wished they had never done what their parents felt was totally absurd and unnatural. As the doctor interviewed them, they knew that if their stories weren't consistent, they would be in deeper trouble than they already were. In addition to this, the doctor had told them that whatever they said, could not be repeated to their parents unless the parents had already known. With that in mind, each boy confessed the entire experiments with the doctor, first the rainy morning when they intentionally wet their pants, the time they had wet their bathing suits, and even the ten times they had worn real disposable diapers and wet them, and at last, the doomed experiment of fabricating diapers from multiple pairs of underpants.

 

As the interview continued, both boys relaxed a bit, and felt confident with the doctor, which was a technique that the doctor had been extremely adept at. And they were both were amazed and happy that the doctor did not seem to condemn their actions, only tried to get at the bottom of the weird activities that both boys engaged and enjoyed. They had initially viewed the doctor as an enemy to be deceived, but now felt as an ally to be rewarded. This resulted in a very truthful exchange between therapist and client.

 

When the doctor had asked the boys why they enjoyed wetting and diapers, they had become very defensive. Bobby even challenged the doctor by saying, "Hey, it's not like we killed somebody or stole stuff, what's the great harm in what we did?”

 

The doctor calmly replied that the only harm he could see was a breaking of the bond that should exist between parents and children.

 

The doctor asked the boys why they hadn't told their parents about the disposable diapers as well as the wetting incidents. "Why?” responded Bobby, "They would only get more angry and upset."

 

The psychiatrist told them that he did not see anger in their parents reaction, only confusion. He also told them that they were lucky to have parents who recognized that they didn't have answers to every question, and sought help with their confusion. Many parents, he explained, would have settled the matter by punishment, which wouldn't have settled anything. He asked the boys permission to tell their parents about the diapers, if he felt it would help. "You will have to trust me on this one, guys; I promise I will only do that if it would help, and most likely, I would not do this today anyway.

 

The boys reluctantly agreed, and were glad that they were asked to give permission. Heck, they thought that the doctor would spill the beans anyway.

 

At the end of the boys interview, each boy, by himself, had felt a sense of relief that the doctor did not:
 1) condemn their actions as immoral
 2) tell them that their actions were stupid and/or uncalled for
 3) that they were "bad" boys
 4) they had disappointed their parents severely
 5) they must immediately cease and desist any further such activity
 6) they really shouldn't associate with each other (bad influence issues)
 7) ....and other stuff

 

Instead, the doctor praised each boy for their honesty, and even praised them because they had establishing a remarkable partnership in their paper routes which had made a boring task much more enjoyable.

 

The interview with the parents did not go as well (and after all they were the ones paying for the session).

 

Instead, the doctor seemed to focus on their appraisal of the boys' activities, and why they were so upset. Homophobia fears were revealed, and after all, weren't parents responsible for all their children's activities, and what would the neighbors think, and other such thoughts.

 

Dr. Phillips was very patient with each set of parents. He alleviated their fears that things were so out of whack that solutions were impossible. However, he cautioned them that their impressions of how the world should be, is not exactly how the world is, and despite their fears and misgivings, nothing could be changed by just wishing for it. He advised them that their value system, ingrained in them from the very moment that they had reached the age of reason, was not infallible, and if they were to progress and mature from this moment in time, they had to admit that there were things that they could not or would not understand, and that this is not necessarily a bad thing, but a good thing, because it is in confusion and uncertainty, that we, as humans, are capable of growing.

 

Neither set of parents accepted this notion, but both sets had to admit they really didn't know how to proceed. Dr. Phillips asserted that their fears were natural and projected on them by society. He also praised them for their concerns for their sons, and affirmed their roles as parents by acknowledging in a humble spirit, that they did not know everything. He also consoled them by revealing his initial appraisal of their sons as moral, upright, and extraordinary members of society, and giving them credit for the rearing such bright and trustworthy kids.

 

However, he cautioned, "Additional counseling is warranted. I know we have expended a couple of hours of intense, and sometimes uncomfortable exchanges, but in order to proceed, additional effort is called for". "Your kids are normal teenage boys, approaching the early stages of becoming adults, confused at times, seemingly distant, unable to communicate conflicting emotions, but willing to give life a full effort, and for this, you should be very proud, but more work is needed to reconcile different value systems, and to restore to your respective families a workable family relationship that is based on love, trust, and not to be undervalued, a lot of faith in each other.

 

"Well, I guess the boys do need some additional counseling," Jimmy's dad admitted.

 

"I am not talking about the boys' counseling," countered Dr. Phillips, " I am talking about counseling for you."

 

At this, Bobby's Dad, whose mind was already counting the dollars that additional counseling would incur, whether it be the boys or the parents, spoke up.

 

"I am not sure about all this, but I can be sure that I could not possibly afford the expense of additional counseling. I am not saying that it is not necessary, what I am saying is that I don't have enough money to continue it". His voice was steady, but his manner revealed he was despairing of any satisfactory conclusion, and he was embarrassed at having to admit his economic deficiencies.

 

"Not a problem," Dr. Phillips interjected. "I should have told you that I was already aware that the expense of counseling can be prohibitive. I am very fortunate that life has offered me some comforts that others do not enjoy. I was not suggesting that the additional expense be borne by you. What I was suggesting that we continue these sessions, one, because I am really impressed by your children, and two, that I can continue my research into infantilism, which is one of my pet projects for a book that I am writing, and three, I am really interested in restoring the love and happiness to two families that I see as truly sincere and determined to do the right thing. In return, I would want you to permit me to write about this analysis, changing all of the accidentals about your person, such as religion, occupation, age, and political leanings, so that nobody could possibly identify you, while at the same time, revealing the depths of your soul and spirit which nobody, other than an expert, could possible detect. If we have a deal, I would like to schedule our next appointment."

 

Bobby's parents were instantly relieved, and immediately gave consent.

 

It took a few more moments for Jimmy's parents to get on board, but in the end, they too, consented. Both parents thought it ironical, that the decision to get counseling to fix their kids’ problems, had turned out that it was their problem that needed the counseling, but to their credit, they intuitively understood that each person in this life always has the need to grow, and nobody, professional or otherwise, has all of the answers.

 

Chapter 8 -- Life Goes On

 

As the weeks progressed, both boys had decided to cool it, even though they did not voice it verbally. There was no mention of diapers or wetting your pants, but secretly at night, there were many diaper and wetting fantasies. After all, you can't go to jail for what you're thinking.

 

And also their parents hardly mentioned anything about the counseling session, only that they thought it wise to continue going to Doctor Phillips themselves, and that possibly sometime in the future, the boys would be asked to go again, and maybe sometimes as a family, but they would not be forced to go if they didn't want to.

 

"All we ask, is that you be truthful with us, and tell us what you are feeling and ask questions. We might not know all the answers, but one thing we do know is that we love you guys and are very proud of you,” was the gist of what the parents told their sons.

 

As the counseling sessions with Doctor Phillips continued with the parents, they were eventually told about the boys experimentation with the disposable diapers, and this caused a minor setback in the progress that they were making.

 

"But that's not normal," Bobby's Dad exclaimed.

 

"If you define 'normal' as what happens most of the time, you would be correct,” replied Doctor Phillips, "but then what would be 'normal'? A kid who gets great grades in school would have to be described as abnormal and trained to make poorer grades in order to become normal. There are certain behaviors that cannot be condoned, because we live in a society. Therefore, we make laws against murder, theft, and other crimes, but we are fortunate in this country to be free to do what we want as long as it doesn't hurt ourselves or others or infringe on their rights."

 

"But what they are doing, isn't that going to hurt them?” asked Jimmy's father.

 

"Possibly," responded the psychiatrist, "if diapers became an obsession that dominated their lives and filled their every waking moment, then it would definitely be a problem. The same goes for drinking and smoking and a host of other activities, but I don't see anything like that with your son".

 

At another session, the fear that their sons might be gay arose, and they asked fearfully of the doctor if that were the case.

 

"Honestly, I don't know if your sons are gay or not," responded Dr Phillips, "and even had they told me something like that, I couldn't discuss it with you without their permission. I do know that oftentimes children, boys especially, experiment with their awakening sexuality with each other, and most of the time it does not mean that they will become practicing homosexuals."

 

The doctor continued, "However, this bring up some serious issues, that you guys (meaning the parents) will have to face. You are responsible to raise your children to maturity as law abiding and contributing members of society. You do not have the responsibility nor even the right to choose their sexual orientation, their future political affiliations, nor even their future religion should they decide to change denominations. You may not decide their profession, their hobbies, or anything else, once they reach independence from you, although you may certainly influence their future choices by your example and by your moral conduct. And if you try to force your value system, your likes and dislikes, your preferences on them, the only result you will bring about will be the distance and walls built between you and them. Trust me, you do not want that."

 

Trying to temper the forcefulness that the doctor felt necessary to get the point across, he told the parents about his own children who all made choices beyond his possible comprehension. He laughed as he relayed how each of them had gone down paths of their own, and yet they still loved each other as much as ever, and visits were frequent and enjoyable, and they had all learned to make jokes about their differences, and they had also learned even more importantly to respect each other’s judgments.

 

For the boys’ part, their friendship grew to the stages where they spent most of their free time with each other, and even started to have sleepovers on weekends. And even though the diaper fantasies persisted, and even though each boy secretly wanted to talk about and maybe even have more diaper play, they both never brought the matter up, that is, until one memorable weekend in December.

 

Chapter 9 -- Diapers Re-entered

 

That memorable night occurred during one of their sleep overs. As it happened, there was a major thunderstorm that night, unusual for December maybe, but pretty rough weather nonetheless. They were at Bobby's house that night, and the thunder woke both boys up. They both pulled the covers up over their heads but the thunder did not relent. Although both boys tried to put on a brave face, a sudden flash of lightning followed by an extremely loud and long clap of thunder turned Jimmy's face as white as a ghost, and in his fear, he wet the bed. He started crying when he realized what he had done, and told Bobby. He was afraid of what Bobby's parents would say, thinking that they would assume they were playing some more wetting and diaper games.

 

"I don't think so," consoled Jimmy, "I'm surprised I didn't shit myself with that clap of thunder, it sounded like it hit inside the room".

 

"I wouldn't be surprised if my folks didn't wet the bed themselves,” laughed Bobby, "that was some serious stuff out there".

 

Jimmy started to laugh also, but still had some concern about whether he should try to go home or not. "Of course not, silly,” remarked Bobby, "Here, come and sleep in my bed with me, but take off those wet pj's first."

 

Jimmy joked, "See, if I had been wearing a diaper, there wouldn't be a wet bed or wet pajamas."

 

"Well, if I had some diapers, I would put one on you, cause I wouldn't want you to pee on me," laughed Bobby.

 

Suddenly, a light came on, and there was a knock on the door.

 

"Come in," said Bobby.

 

His mom and dad, both awaken by the storm, came in see if the boys were frightened and OK. Bobby said they were doing OK until that last blast of lightning that scared Jimmy into wetting the bed. Jimmy whimpered some apology, but Bobby's mom and dad were very understanding, and remarked that this storm could have awaken the dead. They all had a good laugh about that. Bobby's Mom removed the wet sheets from Jimmy's bed, dried the wet mattress as well as she could, and placed some towels over the wet spot on the mattress and remade the bed for Jimmy. Meanwhile, Jimmy had removed the wet pajamas and put on his undershorts. The wet pj's and sheet headed for the washing machine.

 

Nobody had noticed that in the meantime, the storm had passed. When Bobby's parents had satisfied themselves that the boys were OK, they went back to bed. Bobby and Jimmy had trouble getting back to sleep. Finally, Jimmy said that he was still afraid and would it be OK if he slept with Bobby in his bed, for after all, that is what Bobby had suggested right before his parents had come into the room.

 

Bobby said, "Sure, hop right in,” and jokingly added, "but don't pee on me".

 

Both boys laughed, and Jimmy climbed into Bobby's bed. Bobby noticed immediately how good it felt to have Jimmy's warm body so close to him. He almost had a paternal instinct to hug and kiss his friend, but thought that Jimmy would be freaked out.

 

It was strange at first, since neither boy had ever slept with anybody else as long as they could remember, but eventually they started to doze off.

 

While still half asleep, Jimmy felt Bobby's hand on his underpants. Although it felt good, it startled Jimmy, and he sat up and said, "Hey, what are you doing?”

 

Bobby apparently was also half asleep and did not realize what he had done, and responded, "What's wrong?”

 

"You had your hand on my underpants," replied Jimmy.

 

"Oh, no, I'm sorry,” apologized Bobby, "I guess I must have been dreaming, what a strange dream too!”

 

"What were you dreaming?" asked Jimmy.

 

"I dreamt that you were wearing diapers, and I was checking to see if you had wet them and needed a change,” answered Bobby.

 

"Boy, I wish I could have a dream like that,” said Jimmy.

 

"But I am sorry I startled you,” said Bobby.

 

Jimmy said, "That's OK, besides it felt good, I was just surprised, that's all".

 

It took a little courage to do, but Bobby finally made this proposition "Why don't you pretend that I am wearing a diaper and check to see if it is wet. Then we will be even again". remembering the incident so many months ago with the makeshift diaper underpants and how they had reconciled the shattered friendship by duplicating the experiment.

 

Jimmy needed no encouragement and took his hand and put it between Bobby's legs on his pajamas.

 

"You haven't wet your diapers yet.,” whispered Jimmy, "but something inside is getting bigger".

 

When Jimmy started to remove his hand, Bobby said, "Please leave your hand there, it feels so good".

 

Jimmy replaced his hand and started rubbing very slowly Bobby's hardening penis.

 

Eventually, the inevitable happened. Bobby's breathing became rapid, and as he reached climax, his whole body stiffened and then totally relaxed.

 

Jimmy kept his hand on the pajamas as Bobby's penis began to soften, and he felt the boy juices seeping through.

 

"Uh oh, I think now you have wet your diapers,” laughed Jimmy.

 

"Yes, I think I have, will you please change my diaper,” asked Bobby.

 

"Certainly,” replied Jimmy and with that he got up, fetched one of Bobby's briefs from the dresser drawer, came back to the bed and pulled Bobby's pajama bottoms off him and put the underpants brief on him, rather awkwardly. "There, all done,” laughed Jimmy.

 

Bobby had noticed that when Jimmy was returning to the bed with the underpants, that he was very hard, and after the briefs were successfully put on, he mentioned, "I think someone else's diapers need attention".

 

Jimmy was very pleased to hear this. "Yes, I think so, would you be so kind as to help me wet my diapers, Mister,” he mockingly said.

 

And so, Bobby obliged Jimmy's need that night. Finally, both boys, fully relaxed and fully satiated, fell into a very deep sleep, and didn't awake until almost noon.

 

It was a night to remember, and needless to say, it raised the level of friendship another notch.

 

Chapter 10 -- Another Visit to Dr Philips (and also the last chapter of the story)

 

When their parents informed the boys that Doctor Philips had suggested another family visit, they were worried that the doctor would trick them into revealing the activities that happened the night of the big storm, and neither boy really wanted to talk about it. It was OK to think about it, another matter to talk about it. However, they knew that they wouldn't have to say anything they did not want to, and also that they didn't even have to go if they didn't want to. So they agreed and a meeting was scheduled.

 

It was a needless worry. The doctor did not even want to talk with the boys alone. What he wanted to accomplish was to re-establish open lines of communications. The boys began to realize what had been accomplished in their parents' meetings with the doctor. Their parents informed the boys that they would not interfere if they wanted to experiment with diapers, but the boys would be responsible to buy them and keep themselves clean if they used the diapers.

 

This both surprised and pleased the boys, and they could hardly suppress their grins, and they readily agreed to purchase the diapers with their own money. They then told their parents that they really didn't intend to wear diapers all the time, only sometimes, and this relieved the parents somewhat.

 

When the boys met the following morning to deliver the newspapers, they both got there early because they wanted to talk about the good news they had heard the night before.

 

"Well, who is going to buy the first package of diapers?” asked Bobby.

 

"I guess it is my turn,” said Jimmy, "You bought the first one, but I would really like it if you rode your bike with me to get the diapers. You wouldn't have to go into the drugstore, just be there with me".

 

"Deal!” offered Bobby, "Let's go today, I got a feeling I am going to need a diaper later on".

 

"Me too!” laughed Jimmy.

 

"And we don't even have to hide them, and we can throw the used ones in the trash,” Bobby thought out loud.

 

"Yeah, but they will probably make us take out the trash from now on,” retorted Jimmy.

 

Both boys laughed and looked forward to the afternoon when some real diapers would be purchased.

 

And so, the two friends were being allowed to have some diaper play with the blessings of their parents, even if that blessing was less than enthusiastic.

 

The story almost is over, but there was one more surprise that was in store for the boys.

 

On Christmas day, after they had opened their presents, the Dads had conspired to pretend that they had forgotten about some presents that Santa Claus had delivered to the wrong room.

 

You can imagine how happy two 13 year old boys were when they opened package after package of real cloth diapers, plastic and rubber pants, diaper pins, and even a couple of packages of disposables.
