My First Story This is the story of how I first had a chance to be a baby. I'd always wanted to be a baby, free of responsibility. It had nothing to do with diapers, except that I wanted to wear them. Many people want to wear diapers because of poor bladder or bowel control, but I could drink an entire root beer before bed and last eight hours without losing a drop. I hadn't wet or pooped my pants since I was 3. But, then came the summer. I was 10 years old. Life had been very hectic as of late. I had to stay with my cousins Vinny, who was 8, Steve, 9, Goob (actual name Guido but we all call him Goob), Aaron, and me were all 10. Vinny was a little tough guy. Steve always acted crazy. Goob was a video game addict. I was a big reader, as was Aaron. We were all staying at Aaron's house. Aaron wet his bed every night, he had diapers to wear at night. Goob was the one that first got the idea. Aaron was sticking on the diaper when Goob said "Give me one, Aaron." Aaron was dumbfounded. "Why?" Goob looked at him. "'Cause I want it, that's why!" Aaron shrugged and handed it over. Vinny piped up, "I want one too!" Steve and I also accepted the very thick nighttime diapers. By the morning, each of us was soaked!!! Then Uncle Justin walked in. "Aaron, Mom left for Singapore for the summer last night and...oh my God! Why are you boys in diapers???" The crafty Vinny lied, "Last night we all drank a lot of soda and wanted protection. I, on the other hand, told my uncle truthfully that we wanted to try them, just once. Uncle Justin said, "Sure you don't want 'em all summer?" All of us contemplated that. "Yeah!" Uncle Justin said, "you could have a baby summer! Aaron likes to act like a baby, and...." "Da-aad!!!" "Sorry, Aaron. But we have bed bars and Aaron's little brother has bottles, and we could get diapers.." "Wait, wait!" Vinny. "Before I agree, a few things. One: Can we still eat normal stuff? Two: Do we wear baby clothes? Three: Do we hafta do it in public?" Uncle Justin laughed. "Yes to all three. Eat whatever you want, still. Aaron has big clothes that look like baby clothes. You can do most of your normal stuff, like TV and Playstation too. But also play with baby toys. And in public, dress normally if you want. Aaron has no-crinkle diapers, so it should all work out A-OK! Now let's all have breakfast." All of a sudden, Goob looked relieved. A terrible smell permeated the room. Uncle Justin laughed. "Aw, Gooby had an accident! Let's get you all changed." I loved it. All summer we were babies, and it was lots of fun. The only problem was that we no longer had control. So at the end of the summer, we were toilet trained, and every summer since I have still reacquired the same exceptional control at the end of every summer.
