All by Myself Name: Noah Age: 10 It all started when my mother (the 35-year old Wanda Hearts) was sent to jail, because of a crime she committed, so I was all by myself. I couldn’t believe that my mother was stealing money out of a mall, that’s why I never wanted to see her again. It also gave me the chance to buy lots of disposable diapers for myself, but then in the weekend. When it was Saturday, I got all of my saving money and went to the mall, to give the money back, because it belonged to the mall. The people of the mall were glad to have the money back, so they told me I could use it to buy anything I wanted. I did buy 2 packages of Pampers Size 6 disposable diapers. When I got home, I took the package of disposable diapers to my room. I closed the curtains, put the light on and I took off everything I was wearing (except my shirt). Then I opened the package, got out a diaper, unfolded it, put it on me and taped it together. It felt really good, so I took a book out of the cupboard and I sat down on my bed. After reading the first chapter, I put my bookmarker on the right page and put the book back in the cupboard. Suddenly, I needed to poop, so I squatted down, pushed very hard and grunted. 4 very big pieces of poop left my butt and fell in my diaper. I stood up and said: “That feels fantastic! Now I have to change my diaper and clean myself up.” “I can do that for you,” a familiar voice said. I turned around slowly. “Aunt Nina!” I said with glory. “How did you get in here?” “Don’t tell me you forgot that I got a front door key of my own,” my 35-year old, most favorite aunt Nina Hearts (who came from the Netherlands) said: “When I heard what your mother did, I decided to take care of you.” “Okay then,” I said. After putting a new diaper on me, my aunt threw the dirty diaper in the trash bag and she washed her hands. Then we went downstairs to have a little chat with each other. “How is Uncle Ben doing?” I asked. “He’s fine,” my aunt said. “But there’s something you need to know.” “What then?” I asked. “Your mother didn’t steal the money for herself,” my aunt said. “She stole it, because your uncle forced her to do.” I was shocked and couldn’t believe it. My favorite uncle was the real criminal! “Why did he do that?” I asked, with anger in my voice. “He was jealous,” my aunt said, “...because his brother (your father, of course) married with your mother. Your uncle wanted to marry her, so he made up this whole revenge plan. He killed your father a few days after you were born, and if your mother wouldn’t steal the money, your uncle would kill her, too.” “What about Angie and Jamie?” I asked. “When I discovered what your uncle was up to...” my aunt said, “...I told Angie and Jamie about it, so they came with me. My nephew and niece were glad to see me, as I was to see them.” Angie said: “I’m very sorry about what your mother did, Noah. I wish my dad hadn’t done this.” “It’s not your fault,” I said, “but we have to make a plan to prove that my mum is innocent.” In a few minutes, we made a plan. “Tomorrow,” Jamie told me, “we’re going to the FBI and the CIA. They know you, me and Angie as the three truth-telling kids. When we told them about the situation, they’ll arrest our fake dad.” “What do you mean with ‘fake dad’?” I asked. “We never had a father,” Angie said. “Our mother created us by using a computer programme, and Ben Hearts never existed. He was created by grandma and granddad, because when your father was young, he wanted to have a brother.” “That’s very smart,” I said, “,but well. Let’s get started with our plan to free my mum.” Everything happened exactly as we’ve planned. ‘My uncle’ Ben was arrested and put into jail. I was happy to have my mother back. She agreed that I could wear and use diapers, because she always wanted to baby me. The next morning, Angie, Jamie and I woke up at 8:00 AM. “Did you both sleep well?” I asked. “Freak-an-A!” Jamie said. “And you?” “That’s correct,” I said, while I stepped out of my bed. I took off my pajamas and noticed that my diaper was still dry. “Thank God!” I sighed. “I don’t want my pajamas to become wet or messy.” Suddenly, I needed to poop, so I squatted down, pushed very hard and grunted. 4 very big pieces of poop left my butt and fell in my diaper. “I guess that feels fantastic?” Angie asked. “You’re absolutely right about that,” I said. “But well, I need to be changed, or else I’ll get diaper rash.” “We can help you with that,” Jamie said. After putting a fresh, clean diaper on me, Jamie and Angie threw the dirty diaper in the trash bag. We washed our hands and went downstairs. We were shocked when we saw that my mother and my aunt were bound and gagged on the couch. Also, we saw ‘my uncle’. “Do you really think the policemen would keep me in there?” he laughed. “Think again, kids!” “They released you?” I was shocked. “Yep!” ‘my uncle’ said. “And now, I’ll take revenge on the 3 of you.” “On which way?” Jamie asked. “By blowing you all up!” ‘my uncle’ laughed. In a few minutes, we were bound and gagged, too. ‘My uncle’ placed a time bomb in front of us, activated it and ran away. When the time bomb reached 0:00:01, we closed our eyes and waited for the killing explosion…, but there wasn’t any explosion. I opened my eyes and noticed that we were free. Also, I saw a note, next to the time bomb. I read: “Pretty good joke of me, right? This was just a test by me. I knew that you wanted to wear and use diapers, so I wanted to tease you a little bit. See you later. Greetings, uncle Ben.” I was a little bit surprised, but immediately, I laughed like crazy, just like the others. My uncle came in later. “I hope you aren’t angry,” he said to me, ashamed. “Of course not,” I said. “It was a very good joke.” Since then, we had a great life together. My mum, my aunt, my uncle, my niece and my nephew enjoyed putting diapers on me and changing them, and of course, together we all lived happily ever after in our house.
