The Day the Babysitter Busted Me By: Grimmster 08/09/2000 ****************************************************************** This story is a work of Fiction it does not contain actual people, and is not intended to resemble anyone living or dead. (but if it does, you're a lucky bastard) ****************************************************************** Main characters Paul- 10 year old boy Paul's mom- Mrs. Stanos Leann- Paul's babysitter a 17-year-old girl It was a Saturday afternoon towards the end of summer, when my mom called me in from outside where I was playing. My name is Paul and I'm 10 years old, and I live with my mother. My dad left her when I was three, so I really don't have any memory of my father, but mom say's it's a good thing he's gone. She says he was an alcoholic. So up till now my life has been pretty normal for a kid my age, though I think I was a little more "sheltered" by my mom then most kids were, but that's only because she wanted nothing bad to come my way, well on this Saturday afternoon when my mom called me in she told me that she had too go out of town for work on Monday. But she had to leave tomorrow afternoon and spend Sunday night at her destination so she would be at the Company her boss wanted her to meet with first thing Monday morning. She said that she would fly back Monday night and arrive around 7:20pm . So she said "Paul, you're going to have to stay with your babysitter Leann over night and all day Monday, and I will pick you up Monday evening when I get back, ok??" I never spent the night with my babysitter before so this was kinda an awkward feeling, she always came to our house to babysit me for 5 or 6 hours at the most. Now I was going to have to spend the night at her house. And there wasn't very much to do around there. I didn't know any of the kids in her neighborhood and she didn't have any toys at her house. So I thought this whole deal kinda sucked. I wished my mom didn't have to leave Sunday, but there wasn't anything I could do about it. "Well then, honey, I'm going to call Leann now to make sure she can babysit you and to see if it's ok with her mom if you spend the night." "OK," I said. My mom picked up the phone and dialed Leann's number. Leann answered " Hello Leann?" mom said. "Yes Leann, this is Mrs. Stanos. I was wondering if you would be available to babysit Paul tomorrow, this would be an overnight thing if its ok with your mom". On the other end of the phone Leann told my mom, "I'm sorry Mrs. Stanos, but I'm already babysitting for a family up the street, they are leaving tomorrow on a vacation and I'm staying at their house for three days and babysitting their 3 1/2 year old and watching over the house." Mom got the "uh-oh" look on her and said thank you to Leann, but if she already had a job that was good for her and that she would find another sitter. Then she said goodbye and hung up the phone. Now, I knew that mom couldn't find another babysitter. Leann was the only one she ever used and she didn't know anyone else who could do it overnight. While my mom sat there wondering what to do the phone rang. "Hello," she said. "Hello, Mrs. Stanos, this is Leann." "Oh hi, Leann," mom said. "what's up?" "Well, Mrs. Stanos, I had an idea, so I called the family up the street I'm sitting for and told them about Paul and your situation. I asked them if its ok if I were to babysit Paul at their house since I was already watching there baby. And they said that would be fine, so I guess if your ok with it, I can babysit for Paul after all." My mother's face lit up immediately. "Oh Leann, that's wonderful, thank you so much, you have no idea what a lifesaver you are." So after making plans for what time to drop me off at this house, my mom hung up. "Well we just got some wonderful news, Paul," mom said to me. Then she filled me in on what Leann had told her and said to me, "it's only for one night, Paul, and I know you probably don't want to go to a stranger's house and spend the night. But we really have no choice. Will you be a good boy and stay out of trouble while your there?" "Yes," I said. "Great," mom said. "Then I will drop you off at Leann's tomorrow at one in the afternoon. You two are going to get a ride from Leann's mom to the house your staying at sometime around 3:00." Well, the rest of the day went by pretty quickly and it was soon bedtime. My mom had already packed a couple of pairs of clothes for me and said she would pack my toothbrush after I used it in the morning. She said I could also bring two toys with me as long as they weren't too big. So I fell asleep that night thinking about which two toys I would take, and that short list changed many times. I woke up around nine Sunday morning and I got up and had breakfast. Mom was already in the kitchen making her coffee. "Good morning, Paul," she said. "Good morning, mom," came my reply. Mom sat down at the table with me and told me that after breakfast if I wanted to go outside to play that it was fine, but I had to be home by 12:30 and no later so that we could get ready to go to Leann's house. I said "ok" and I hurried to finish my Cocoa Puffs. Before I knew it, Mom was calling me in from playing with my friend next door. Boy, 12:30 sure came fast. I said goodbye to my friend and told him I'd be home tomorrow sometime. I ran home so that I could grab the two toys Mom said I could take .(one was my Gameboy, the other was an action figure of a soldier). Mom packed her bag and my bag into the car and asked me if I would want my own pillow to take with me. I said, "that isn't a bad idea, I'll go get it." "Ok, honey," mom said. "I'll be in the car, make sure the door is locked before you close it." "Ok," I said, so I ran up to my room and grabbed my pillow and ran back down, making sure the door was locked before I closed it. Then I got into the car and we were off. It was about a 15- minute drive to Leann's house, and my mother took the opportunity to tell me the rules. "You are to listen to Leann and do what she says. Don't give her a hard time, she'll have enough on her hands babysitting a 3 1/2 year old. Your bedtime is the same as always, so make sure you've washed and brushed your teeth before 9 o'clock." When we got to Leann's house mom pulled into the driveway and told me to grab my stuff. She was going to talk with Leann and her mom for a second. When I got my bag and toys and made it up to the front door, mom was finishing telling Leann what she had told me about the rules. Then she thanked Leann's mom and kissed me on the cheek and told me to be a good boy. "I'll see you tomorrow night around 8, ok, Paul?" "Ok, mom," I said. "Have a good trip." She was gone a minute later. Leann's mom welcomed me and told me to come in. We wouldn't be leaving for the house Leann was sitting at for another two hours. So I went inside and said hello to Leann. Leann's mom took my bag and said I could go watch T.V. or play outside in the backyard if I wanted too until it was time to go. So I went outside and entertained myself as best I could. Luckily I had a great imagination, and soon the two hours were up and Leann's mom was calling me saying it was time to go. I went inside and grabbed my things and was ready to go. Leann said we were going to have fun. Her mom had rented us a movie to watch and we had popcorn to make. Leann said that if I wanted to I could stay up a little later to watch the movie. So this was starting to sound like it wasn't going to be to bad after all. We packed our things into the car and we were off. It was only about a four- or five-minute drive to this house so we were soon there and saying our hello's to the people who lived there, Mr. And Mrs. Andrews and their son Nick, or Nicklaus as they called him. Leann's mom said goodbye to her daughter and told her that if there were any problems that she should call her right away and to always keep one eye on the baby. Mr. And Mrs. Andrews were all packed and ready to go on there vacation. They had already called a cab to come pick them up and take them to the airport. So they told Leann all the stuff she needed to know about locking the house and where things were. They told her about what times she should feed little Nicky and what to do if he cries a lot at night. They also said that she should make herself at home since she would be there for three days. They told her to sleep in the guest bedroom which was next to the baby's room. They said I could stay in the den on the first floor. There was a pullout sofa bed in there that I could sleep on. Finally, the cab pulled into the driveway and honked its horn to state its arrival. Mr. And Mrs. Andrews gathered their luggage up and said their final goodbye to Nick and left with telling Leann to call her mom if there were any problems. Leann reassured them everything would be fine and wished them a fun trip. "See you on Thursday then, Leann. Nice meeting you, Paul, have a good time." "Bye," I said as they got into the cab. We watched from the door as they pulled out and Nicklaus started to cry in Leann's arms because he knew mommy and daddy just left. "Aaaaw, it's ok, Nicky," Leann said. "Don't cry, they'll be home soon." We went back into the house and Leann said I should go watch T.V. or something until she could calm Nicky down. I went into the living room and switched on the television and grabbed my Gameboy and sat down on the couch to occupy myself. I could hear Leann in the kitchen fixing Nicky a bottle and saying things to try and calm him down. After about 15 more minutes of listening to Nicky cry his lungs out, Leann finally got him calmed down enough to start drinking his bottle, which kept him quiet. She brought him into the living room with her and sat down next to me on the couch with Nicky in her arms drinking from his bottle. From the looks of it all that crying had sure tired him out. He looked like he would fall asleep anytime and that's just what Leann wanted. I acted like I was curious, so I asked a few things about Nicky. "How old is he, Leann?" I asked. "He's 3 1/2, Paul." "Wow," I said. "He sure is big for a baby that age." He was a bit bigger than most kids his age, a little heavier-looking and a thicker body than he had seen on most babies his age. "Yes, he is a pretty big baby," Leann said, "but he's just healthy, isn't that right, Nicky?" she said while cooing the words in Nicky's face. I continued to play my Gameboy while Leann sat there with Nick drinking his bottle. Soon Leann said, " Uh-oh, feels like wittle Nicky has wet his diapers. Does wittle Nicky need a change?" she said in her best baby voice. "Let's go get you all cleaned up and changed, Nicky, then a nap for you, little one; you're sleepy." She got up from the couch with Nicky and started to go upstairs to change him and put him in his crib for the rest of the afternoon. For some reason, listening to Leann talk about changing Nick's diaper had me wondering what it would be like to wear one again. So I got up off the couch to follow Leann and watch her change Nick's diaper. "What's up, Paul?" Leanne said when she noticed I was following her. "Nothing," I said. "I'm just bored so I thought I'd watch you with the baby." "OK," she said. "If you want to, but I'm just changing him and putting him to bed so he can take a nap." We went into Nick's room and Leann put him down onto his changing table. She was talking to him in baby-talk the whole time and that made me remember my own mom not all that long ago talking to me like that. Leann soon had Nicky's sleeper off and was taking off his diaper when she said, "hey Paul, would you grab a new diaper for me they are over there?", pointing towards a shelf by the changing table. I went over to the shelf to grab the diaper. Boy, that excited me. I was about to actually touch a diaper, though I really wanted to try wearing one. I got the package of Pampers off the shelf and took one out and handed it to Leann. She said, "thank you" and proceeded to start diapering Nick with her back to me she wouldn't notice me looking at that package of Pampers with so much interest. I saw on the package that they were size 6 pampers, and I knew from commercials on T.V. that these were bigger than regular baby Pampers. I wondered if they would fit me. I put the package back up on the shelf as Leann was putting the sleeper back onto Nicky. "There," she said. "All dry again and ready for his nap." She put Nick down into his crib and tucked him in and said that I should go back downstairs so that he could get to sleep. As I left Nick's room I looked once again at that package of Pampers on the shelf. I went back downstairs to the living room and sat back down on the couch and started to play my Gameboy again, but all I could think of was those Pampers and how much I wanted to wear one, so I started to think about how I could get one and try it on without Leann finding out. I figured that at some point during the day or night she would be distracted enough with Nicky that I would be able to sneak upstairs and grab one, but I wondered where I would be able to put it on at without her knowing. I figured my best chance was probably when I went to bed. I was sleeping downstairs in the den and Leann was going to be sleeping upstairs. So I had a plan. Now I just had to wait for the right moment to sneak upstairs and grab a diaper. Leann came back downstairs at this point, and asked me if I wanted something to drink. I said, "yeah, I'm thirsty, what do they have here?" Leann went into the kitchen and I followed her. She opened the fridge and we saw there was plenty to drink. Along with Nicky's formulas already pre-made for Leann to use, there was also a case of Pepsi, so Leann got me a can and herself one, too. I opened mine and started to drink. "Guess what, Paul?" Leann said. "What?" I replied. "We're having pizza for dinner tonight, my mom gave me money so we could order one for tonight's dinner." "Awesome," I said. "What do you like on your pizza, Paul?" Leann asked. "Pepperoni is my favorite." "Yeah, mine too," I said. "Ok, its 3:30 now so I'll order a pepperoni pizza around 5:30, does that sound alright to you, Paul?" "Yes, sounds good," I said. "Ok," Leann said "I'm going to use the phone awhile Paul, so you can go outside in the backyard or play or watch T.V. in here if you want to." I thought for a second and decided to watch cartoons on T.V. I didn't want to miss a chance to sneak upstairs and grab a diaper. I turned on the Cartoon Network while Leann went into the kitchen to use the phone. I hoped I would have a chance while she was on the phone. She usually could talk forever with her friends on there, so maybe she would be distracted enough. Leann was on the phone for only two or three minutes when we heard Nicky upstairs crying for his teddy. "Hold on a second, Christine," I heard Leann say to her friend on the phone. "Paul, would you do me a favor?" Leann asked from the kitchen. "Uh yeah, what is it?" I said. "Would you grab Nicky's teddy bear and take it up to him? It's on the chair in the living room." "Yeah Ok," I said with maybe a little too much enthusiasm. I couldn't believe my luck, I wouldn't have to wait to sneak up there without Leann knowing. She just told me to go up there. I grabbed the teddy bear off the chair and practically ran upstairs to Nicky's room. He was standing in his crib whining for his teddy. So I went over and handed it to him and said, "it's ok now, Nicky, go back to sleep." He took the stuffed bear and sat back down in his crib and almost stopped crying immediately. I listened for Leann and I could hear she was still in the kitchen gabbing away on the phone. I went over to the shelf with the Pampers on it and grabbed the package. I took two out and put the package back on the shelf. I felt so nervous. I was trying to hurry as much as possible. Now I had the diapers but I still had to get back downstairs and past Leann with them, then into the den where my overnight bag was and stash them there for later. I was thinking of how to do this when I noticed Nicky standing in his crib looking at me with two diapers in my hands. He was sucking his thumb and his teddy bear in the other hand. He looked very sleepy, so I didn't think he would know what I was up to. Now the only thing I could think of was to stash the diapers down my pants, one in each leg. I quickly unbuttoned my jeans and stuffed one of the diapers down into the left leg of my pants by my thigh then the other diaper on the other side. I buttoned my jeans back up and un-tucked my shirt and pulled it down as much as possible. I figured if I walked quickly I would get passed Leann easy enough. I only had to take a few steps through the kitchen past her then I'd be home free. I went downstairs and when I got to the kitchen my pace got a little quicker. I was almost through when Leann asked, "Paul, is Nicky ok now?" I turned only half towards her and said, "uh huh, he's ok now." "Good," she said. "Thank you very much," and she went back to talking on the phone. Phew, I thought, that was close. I was shaking all over. I thought she would notice my pant legs bulging out from the diapers stashed there. But she didn't. Fortunately my jeans were pretty tight anyway and that kept the diapers from making any real noise when I walked. I walked directly to the den from there and I undid my pants and pulled them down as fast as I could and retrieved the diapers. I opened my bag up and put them in under my change of pants and shirt. They felt so good just to touch I couldn't wait to wear one. I went back out to the couch and sat down, just in time, too, because Leann got off the phone right then. She went upstairs to check on Nicky and came back down within a few minutes. She sat down on the couch with me and asked what time I would like to eat dinner. I said, "It doesn't matter to me." "Ok then, what do you like on your pizza?" she asked. Pepperoni was my choice and she said she liked sausage, so we decided to get half and half on the pizza. She said she would order it in a half hour or so and I said that sounded good to me. "Anything good on T.V., Paul?" Leann asked. "Not really, just a bunch of stupid talk shows," I said. "Well, you can go outside in the backyard if you want to play, and I'll call you when the pizza gets here. Oh, did you get settled into your bedroom and unpack your stuff, Paul?" Leann asked. Alarms went off inside me. I didn't want to unpack my bag with the diapers stashed in there, so I lied and just said, "yes." "Ok, then don't wander off far, just stay around the backyard and play," she said. "Ok, I will." I went outside and played until Leann called me in to eat. She had gotten Nicky up already so she could feed him while we ate, too. We finished up the pizza and Nicky ate his food, too, and Leann settled in to make Nicky a bottle and put him in his playpen for awhile before she put him to bed for the night. We watched some T.V. for about an hour and a half while Nicky played in his pen. I could hardly keep my mind off the diapers I had stashed in my bag. I was dying to wear one. I kept looking at Nicky in his diaper and I felt envious. When it came time to put Nicky to bed Leann picked him up and said he needed a change again before bed, so she took him upstairs to change him and put him to bed for the night. It was now 8:00pm. As soon as I heard her reach the top of the steps I got up and went into the den I was sleeping in that night and took one of the diapers out of my bag. I just had to touch and smell it again, since I couldn't put one on yet it was the only thing I could do to relieve the curiosity that was foremost in my mind. I looked at it and smelled it and finally unfolded it to look at it some more. I heard Leann saying goodnight to Nicky and she started to come back downstairs. I quickly stashed the diaper again and went back out to the couch as fast as I could. Leann got downstairs a few seconds later and said that I should get ready for bed too, even though I didn't have to go to bed yet. Secretly I wished she would get me ready for bed just like she did for Nicky. Leann said I should take a bath then get my pajamas on. She went into the bathroom that was just off the den and started to fill the tub for me. I told her that I could do this myself and she left me to finish up. I got into the tub and washed myself and then I put my pajamas on when I was done. While I was in the tub I imagined Leann coming in to dry me off and lead me to my bed to put a diaper on me. By this point I was dying to wear one and I really couldn't wait until I had to go to bed. My plan was to stay awake until Leann went to bed herself, then I would get one of the diapers I had and put it on. I finished my bath and put my PJ's on, then I went back out to the family room to watch T.V. I looked at the clock and it was now 8:25. I figured Leann wouldn't go to bed till around midnight. Boy, this was gonna be a long night. Leann put the movie she rented on. It was a comedy and we watched it and laughed the whole time. It was 10:45 by the time the movie ended and Leann said finally that it was time for me to go to bed. She said she was going up to check on Nicky and then she'd come down and make sure I was tucked in and all settled before she went to bed herself. "OK," I said. Wow, she said she was going to bed too, maybe I wouldn't have to wait so long after all. I got under the covers and picked up my Gameboy and started to play while I waited for Leann to come back down. After about 5 minutes she came into the room I was sleeping in and tucked me in and put my Gameboy on the table. She turned out the light and told me to sleep good. I lay there in the dark listening to her go through the house and turn all the lights off and make sure the house was all locked up. Then I heard her going upstairs and into the bathroom to get ready for bed herself. The water from the sink seemed to run forever. Boy, girls sure took along time to get ready for bed. Finally she finished up and I heard her going into her room. After another 15 minutes or so of listening to Leann bustle around upstairs, it got quiet. I lay there perfectly still listening for any more movement from upstairs. When I was satisfied Leann was in bed, I reached over and turned on the lamp on that was next to the sofa bed I was sleeping. I got my overnight bag and opened it up and grabbed for one of the Pampers. I then took my pajama bottoms and underwear off as fast as I could. I opened the Pampers up and looked at it. Wow, I couldn't believe how neat it looked, so I spread it out on the bed. I lifted my butt off the bed and moved over the diaper and sat down on it. I could instantly feel the cushioning of the diaper under my butt. I looked down at my naked body sitting on a diaper and I felt like I was in heaven, I lay back and spread my legs a little more and reached for the front of the diaper to pull it up through my legs, and right then just as the diaper was almost pulled up over me, I heard a sound that made my heart skip a beat and totally made me freeze up. Suddenly Leann was at my door. "Oh Paul, I forgot to mention...? Paul... what the heck are you doing?" I lay there with the diaper half-pulled up between my legs and I was totally frozen in fear. Leann was just standing there staring at me waiting for me to answer. Finally my limbs unfroze and I reached for the blankets to quickly pull them up over me. Leann came over to my bed and said, "Paul, what in the world are you doing with that diaper?" She pulled the sheets back off me and looked down at me. I was so ashamed I must have been bright red. She asked again, "Paul what are you doing with this diaper?" "Uh, uh, uh, I dunno. Just playing around, I guess," was all I could muster up to say. "You were playing around with putting a diaper on yourself?" Leann said skeptically. "Yeaaaah," I said. "Well, I don't think you should be doing that, Paul. I want you to get up and throw that diaper away and put your pajamas back on and get back into bed right now." Wow, she was actually pretty mad at me. So I got right off the bed and grabbed the diaper, and even though I was naked I went to the garbage can and threw it right out and hurried back to my room and got my PJ's back on. Leann tucked me back into bed and told me she had better not hear anything else going on down here the rest of the night or I would be in big trouble. She turned out the light and said good night again. I lay there in the dark, my heart still beating fast. "Oh man, that was stupid," I thought. I was so embarrassed. I didn't know what to think, was she going to tell my mom? Was she gonna be mad at me in the morning? How could I face her in the morning? I think I finally fell asleep about an hour later, I actually cried myself to sleep. Morning came and I woke up, for two seconds it seemed like the beginning of a normal day, then I remembered what had happened last night. "How can I get out of bed and face Leann?" I thought. I heard her in the kitchen feeding Nick and it took me awhile to get the courage up to get out of bed. I slowly emerged from the den where I had slept and walked towards the kitchen. Leann said, "good morning, Paul," when I walked in. "Umm, good morning," I said back meekly. "Did you sleep ok?" Leann asked. "Yes," I said again very quietly. I sat down at the table and poured myself a bowl of cereal. I had just started eating when Leann said, "Well Paul, I don't know why you had that diaper on last night, but don't you think your too old to be playing with diapers?" Oh man, my head dropped. This is embarrassing I thought. "Yes" was all I could say back to her. "Well, then I won't be finding you wearing diapers again, will I, Paul?" "No," I said. "Good, because you're a big boy now and you shouldn't be doing things like that at your age," Leann said. I finished my breakfast in a hurry and asked Leann if I could go outside to play. She said it was ok but I should put on my play clothes before going outside and she told me not to go far from the house. I really wasn't much in the mood for playing. But I had to get out of the house. It was hard being near Leann. I couldn't even look her in the eye. I changed my clothes and went outside in the back yard, I took my Gameboy with me and sat down on the ground by a big tree. "Oh, how did I get myself into this?" I thought to myself. I just hoped Leann wouldn't tell my mom. After awhile of sitting there and worrying about it all, I finally started to play with my Gameboy. Then I remembered the diaper I still had in my bag. "Uh oh," I thought. "I don't want to get caught with it. I had better get rid of it." I went back inside and was going to go to the den to get that diaper out of my bag. But Leann was sitting there in the living room and she would hear me if I did that. So I just sat down on the couch and started watching T.V. with Leann. She asked me if I was ready for lunch. "Is it time already?" I said. "Just about," Leann said. "I'm going to make sandwiches and soup, sound good to you?" "Yeah," I said. "Ok, I'll call you when its ready." She went into the kitchen and started to make lunch. Nicky woke up from his nap in his playpen and started to cry. Leann came back into the living room and picked Nicky up out of his playpen. "Lunch will be ready in a few minutes, Paul, I have to change Nicky first. She took Nicky upstairs to be changed, and I took the chance to grab that diaper out of my bag and get rid of it, but where could I put it? I went into the bathroom that was in the den and I was going to throw it out in the garbage can, but there was nothing in the garbage to hide it under. I looked around the room for a place to hide it, but didn't see any good places. Just then I heard Leann coming back downstairs with Nicky. I stuffed the diaper back into my bag under my clothes then went into the bathroom and flushed the toilet. I came out acting like I had just gone to the bathroom so Leann wouldn't get suspicious of what I was doing in there. I came out just as she was putting Nicky back into his playpen. He picked up one of his toys and put it in his mouth. Leann, satisfied that Nicky was content, went back into the kitchen to finish making lunch. "Keep Nicky busy while I finish making lunch, Paul," Leann said. "Ok," I said. I went over to the playpen and said hi to Nicky. Leann had brought him back down in just a shirt and his diaper. I looked at him with envy and thought how lucky he was. After a few minutes Leann called me in to eat lunch, I went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Leann put a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a bowl of chicken soup in front of me. She asked me if I wanted milk or soda with my lunch. "Soda," I said. We ate our lunch with only a few words being said, she asked me what I was going to do all afternoon, and I said I'd probably go back outside to play. I kept thinking of that diaper in my bag and how I was going to get rid of it. Finally I decided I would just stuff it under the cushions of the sleeper sofa I had slept on. I didn't know what else to do. I played outside until about five o'clock then Leann called me in. "Paul, your mom's going to be here in a couple of hours to pick you up. We'll have dinner, then I want you to get into the bathtub and get cleaned up and put some clean clothes on before she gets here." "Oh man, do I have to take a bath?" I said. "Yes, and then we'll clean up your room." "Ok," I said. I watched T.V. while Leann got dinner ready and she called me when it was time to eat. We had macaroni and cheese and hotdogs. After we ate she said it was time for my bath. She went into the bathroom and filled the tub up for me again and put a lot of bubble bath in it for me. She told me to get clean and not play for too long. She was going to feed Nicky and get the dishes done, and then she wanted to clean up my room and have me all ready to go when my mom got here to pick me up. I got into the tub and got myself cleaned up like Leann said I also played in the water for awhile. When I got out Leann was already finished feeding Nicky and was also done with the dishes. When she heard me getting out of the tub she called in and told me to put on clean clothes, and to leave the towel on the bathroom floor. I went to my bag to get clean clothes out and again I panicked a little about the diaper in there. I hoped Leann wouldn't look in my bag for anything. I planned to put it under the cushions after we cleaned up the room. Once I was dressed and made sure I had everything of mine in my bag. I told Leann I was done, she came in and told me to help her get the sofa bed back in. She took one end and I took the other and together we were able to get the thing folded back like a couch again. She put the cushions back on the couch and grabbed the sheets and the towel off the floor and took them to the laundry. I grabbed that diaper out of my bag fast as I could after she left the room and crammed it under one of the end cushions and zipped my bag back up. "Phew," I thought, it's a relief to have that gone. I went out to the living room and watched T.V. waiting for the time when my mom would come to pick me up. I only had about an hour to go. I was very worried about Leann telling my mom about the diaper, all I could do was hope that she wouldn't. Leann came back and sat down. She said Nicky was asleep already and that it was going to be a quiet night without me here. We sat and watched T.V. until my mom got there, I heard her pull in the driveway first and I went to grab my bag, wanting to be ready to leave as soon as possible, so hopefully Leann and my mom wouldn't have time to talk. Leann asked me if I was sure I had everything and I looked around and said, "yeah I think so." My mom knocked on the door and Leann and I went to great her. Leann opened the door. I said "Hi mom," excitedly "Hi Pauly, hello, Leann," Mom said. "Was everything ok?" "Yes," Leann said. "And how's Nicky?" mom asked "Oh he's fine," Leann said. "He's asleep already. He's a good baby, no trouble at all." "Good," my mom said. She looked down at me and asked me if I had everything, I said, "yes." "Where's your pillow, Paul?" mom asked. "Ooooops," I said and I went to get it. When I got back to the front door my mom was just reaching into her purse to pay Leann. She told me to go load up my stuff in the car and she would be out in a minute. I went out the front door and went to the car. "So everything was ok? Paul wasn't any trouble was he, Leann?" "Oh no, he was pretty good, Mrs. Stanos, but I think there's one thing you should know about." "And what's that?" "Well, last night I came down to check on Paul after he went to bed and I found him wearing one of Nicky's Pampers." "You what?" my Mom asked. "When I went into his room I found him putting it on, he said he was just playing around, but I thought it wasn't right so I told him to throw the diaper out and get his pajamas back on and get to sleep." I sat out in the car worrying about what was taking my mom so long. Please, please, please, don't tell my mom, I kept saying to myself. "How did he get the diaper, Leann?" my Mom asked. "I don't know, he must have snuck one out of Nicky's room. I didn't see him do it and he was really the only up there once alone, so he must have taken it then," Leann said. "Leann I must apologize for his behavior. I've taught him better than to be a little sneak." "Oh, it's ok, Mrs. Stanos, I just thought you should know." "Well I appreciate you telling me and that boy is sure gonna be punished for this, would you do me a favor and let me have one or two of Nicky's diapers?" "Yeah, sure," Leann said. "He's not going to want to steal anymore diapers after I punish him," my Mom said. My Mom waited for Leann to get the diapers, when Leann came back with them, my Mom thanked her and apologized for her son again and put the diapers in her purse. She paid Leann and said goodbye and walked out to the car. As soon as Mom got into the car I knew by the look on her face I was in big trouble and it could be for only one thing, the diaper. Mom looked over at me and gave me a disgusted look. She hadn't said anything yet, but I knew he was in trouble. We made the short drive home without a word. When they pulled into the driveway Mom told him to get my stuff and get into the house and go straight up to my room. I grabbed my overnight bag and took it in the house and went up to my room. Mom told him to sit on my bed and wait for her to get up there. I sat there for an eternity wondering about how much trouble I was in and for what exactly, even though I knew it had to be the diaper. Mom came into the room finally and she said, "Paul, I am very disappointed in you, I know I brought you up better than to sneak around other people's houses and take things, so what the heck are you doing stealing diapers and putting them on yourself?" I just sat there I didn't know what to say. "Answer me, young man," Mom said. "I don't know," was what I said back. "You don't know why you were putting a diaper on yourself, Paul? Then maybe you need to be reminded not to do this ever again." "No mommy, I won't do it again, I swear." "I know you wont be doing this again Paul, I am going to punish you so that you will never do it again." Now take your clothes off." I started to cry now and slowly I took my shirt off. I guess I was too slow for my mom because she started taking my pants off me before I had the shirt over my head. She pulled my pants and underwear down and told me to step out of them. Once I was naked she sat down on my bed and pulled me over her knees. She held me down with one hand and spanked me with the other-SMACK, SMACK, SMACK... She gave me 10 swats then stood me up. I was crying my eyes out. "I won't do it anymore mommy," I said between tears. "Well, I'm glad to hear that, Paul, but your punishment isn't over yet. I think you need to be reminded for awhile, so that you don't forget. Now, young man, since you wanted to put a diaper on yourself, I think you should wear them to remind you never to do anything like this again." "No mommy I won't, I swear, I won't." I was crying again really hard. "Now lie down on your bed, Paul. I am putting a diaper on you, then you are going to bed early." I started crying even more at this point. She left the room and came back a minute later with her purse and some baby powder. She opened her purse and took out a couple of diapers. I could tell they were the same Pampers that were at Nicky's house. She must have gotten them from Leann. Without saying a word my mom took the baby powder and sprinkled it all over my crotch. She then lifted my legs up with one hand and sprinkled some more on my butt and rubbed it in. She put my legs back down and took a diaper and unfolded it. Again, she lifted my legs and butt off the bed with one hand and put the diaper under me. She lowered my legs back down after she had it positioned just right and spread my legs apart. She pulled the diaper up tightly between my legs and taped it up. "Now Paul, you are going to get your PJ's on and brush your teeth and your going straight to bed. You will wear a diaper every night until I feel you have learned your lesson." "I've learned, mommy. Please, I don't want to wear diapers," I said. "Well, you're going to wear them, Paul, every night for awhile. This is to remind you to never steal from other people." "Mommy, I won't do it again," I said. "You had better not Paul, and I think this will make sure that you don't." "But what if I have to pee in the middle of the night, mom?" "Then you just wet that diaper and suffer 'til morning," mom said. "But I don't want to, mommy," I said. "Well, you should have thought of that before you decided to steal diapers," was Mom's reply.
