WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

	It was Christmas night, and as expected, I couldn't 
sleep. I had already wet the bed, and as I did every night, 
I lay there in the wetness, wishing that this didn't happen 
to me. Suddenly downstairs, I heard a bang, and I jumped out 
of bed to see what was the matter. I crept silently down the 
stairs, and lo and behold, there was Santa! The man! In the 
flesh! I couldn't believe it! Santa turned around, startled 
and saw me, he started to make for the chimney, but stopped 
when he saw me standing there.
	"Hello Billy! I see we have a bit of a problem here"
	"That I saw you Santa?"
	"Well, no. I was talking more about that big wet spot 
on the front of your PJs"
	"Ohhh, Santa!.."
	"Now now, you are not the first older boy I've seen 
with that. Tell you what, Santa is going up to his sleigh to 
get you something special"
	I wondered what it could possibly be, and all of 
asudden white cubes began falling down the chimney. And as I 
looked at them, I heard 
	"Merry Christmas to all, and to Billy a Dry night!"
	I opened the packages, and in there were stuffed rows 
and rows of diapers! All in my size! With soft crackily 
plastic and thick enough to contain the biggest flood I 
could produce! I tried to put one on, just as Mom came down 
the stairs.
	"BILLY! IT'S 4:30AM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP!"
	"Well uh, Mom, I couldn't sleep because I wet the bed 
and..."
	"Oh Billy, won't you ever stop that?" She said with 
concern.
	"Well, yeah Mom, I think I will. But until then, Santa 
brought me something to help!"
	"Diapers Billy? Well, I don't think a big boy like you 
should..."
	"But Mom, in some ways I _AM_ still a little boy, and 
these will be better than waking up in a wet smelly bed 
every morning"
	"True, Okay, but I don't think that you can put those 
on by yourself. Let me help you."
	She went upstairs and got the baby powder, and then 
cleaned me up with a warm washcloth. Then she wrapped the 
thick diaper around me and taped me up. Then we opened 
gifts. I got games and some clothes, and we finally settled 
down to breakfast. Afterwards we sat on the couch watching 
the movies we got, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I felt 
a warm wet, pleasant feeling around my middle
	Mom was gone, and I walked to the TV and started 
playing my new games. Suddenly the door burst open and Mom 
came in carrying a HUGE box! I helped her carry it to my 
room, eager to see what was inside. 
	It was a crib! WOW! 
	"Well, with you bed all peed on and stinky, I figured 
that you could use a "fresh" start as it where"
	"Thanks Mom!"
	"Now I also got you some new PJs, they're in that bag 
over there. Here, actually you look like you could use a 
change, buster".
	She got out another diaper, and quickly cleaned and 
diapered me. Then she sat me up and said "Lift your arms". I 
did and she pulled off my PJ top. From the bag she produced 
a footed sleeper and proceeded to work it up my legs. As 
soon as she had it over my diaper she zipped me up, lifted 
me off the table, and proclaimed me set with a pat on the 
butt.
	Together we assembled my crib, and it was a dream come 
true! I got in to go to sleep because I was so tired from 
the night before, and as Mom pulled the covers over me, she 
stuffed a bottle in my mouth. As she rubbed my padded butt, 
she whispered. "I like having you as my baby again..I hope I 
can baby you for a long time"
	I smiled, knowing that I got the best Christmas Present 
a boy could get.
