A Day of Diapered Glory Joe Thompson was 16. He went to George Washington High in Michigan. Joe was a generally good-looking boy. He had brown hair, and blue eyes. He was fairly tall and well built. Joe had a good life, a loving mother, and a nice house. He had a sister that was 18. All of his friends thought she was hot. Because she was. He did well in school, and had a lot of friends, but he wasn't always happy. There was a girl at his school, named Ally. She lived on the street opposite from him and 3 houses down. He could clearly see her house. She was gorgeous. She was average height, deep brown eyes, and long blonde hair. She had a great body and she was very popular. She too, was 16. Joe loved her. He was convinced, but she never noticed him too much, besides the off conversation online or in class. She knew nothing. He knew she was athletic, a great track runner, and she babysat. He knew she loved kids from talking with her. She especially loved babies. He thought to himself, �What if I was a baby, and she babysat me? That would be great.� Joe�s grade was filled with lots of hot girls. Most of whom were friends with Ally. One night as Joe sat out on his porch and looked toward Ally's house. He saw her car pull in the driveway. �Must have been a track meet,� he thought to himself. She got out and walked in her house. He thought to himself, �she�s great.� He looked up at the stars and saw something shoot across the sky. A shooting star! Joe made a wish. �I wish I was a baby, and Ally would babysit me.� Joe went inside and up to bed. He then fell asleep. When Joe awoke the next morning he was tired. He stretched and opened his eyes. He tried to stretch his legs. Wait, something was wrong. Was he in footed pajamas? Yes. He was. Weird. He sat up. He was in a crib! He looked around. His walls were a light powdered blue with Sesame Street characters on it. In his room was a small blue chest of drawers, a changing table in the corner, and a rocking chair. He moved around. He was in a diaper? Weird, he thought. He was wet, too. This must have been the first time he�d wet the bed since he was 5. The door opened and his sister came in. She opened his curtains and lifted him from the crib. She laid him on the changing table and pulled a strap over his stomach. She untaped his diaper and pulled it down. She cleaned him with a baby wipe. She sprinkled powder on him then got a new diaper, and unfolded it. She lifted him up with one hand, slipped it under him, then taped him up. Why was he so light? As she un- strapped him and carried him out of the room, he saw his reflection. He was a baby! His sister Ashley carried him downstairs and put him in a highchair. She put some cereal on the tray. �Mommy is out of town for a few days, so it�s just you and me,� she cooed in baby talk. His sister was being nicer than usual. After he had eaten the cereal, Ashley picked him up and put him in a play pen in the family room. She turned on a movie. After about an hour, Joe got a feeling. He had to pee. He didn�t remember his diaper at first. When he did, he let it go. Sensing what he did, his sister picked him up, spread a changing mat on the floor, and changed his diaper. He was then returned to the playpen. After about half an hour, he fell asleep. He never fell asleep before 12 usually. His body must have been a baby�s, too. Acting like one. He remembered his sister taking him upstairs and putting him in the crib. He awoke about 5 hours later. His sister came in soon after. She picked him up and took him downstairs. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. �I�m going out for a while, so Ally is coming,� she cooed. Ashley opened the door with her free hand to reveal Ally at the door. She walked in. Joe smiled. He was delighted. �He�s happy to see you.� �He�s so cute,� Ally said. �So my number and my mom�s number is on the fridge, call us if ya need anything. And you can have some people over tonight. It doesn�t matter.� Joe was handed to Ally, and Ashley was out the door. Joe was in heaven in Ally�s arms. He felt so safe. She must have known what she was doing. He was so comfortable. Ally took him to his highchair. He saw that it was 6. She put him in it and went to the fridge. She came out with a jar of some weird-looking food. She opened it and offered him some. He accepted it. It was horrible. But he kept taking it. After 5 spoons of it, he pushed it away. Ally wiped off his mouth and put him in his playpen with some toys. She took her cell phone out. He heard her talking to Suzie, Jess, and Megan (or Meg). They were invited over. These were 3 of the hottest girls in his grade. He was so excited. He always sort of liked Suzie, Jess was hot, but that�s it, and Meg was mean, but hot. They got through 10 minutes later. They made a fuss over baby Joe. Then they went to the family room. They all sat and turned on a movie as they chattered. Joe was set on the floor to crawl around. He crawled over to Suzie. She picked him up; and sat him on her lap. She had a younger brother at home. She bounced him up and down. He smiled. Then her cell rang. She answered it. Someone talked and she responded ok. �That was Chad, its weird going out with him, he�s so mature.� �BOYFRIEND?!� Joe was hurt. Suddenly he didn�t want to be on her lap. He began to squirm around, whimpering a bit. Jess came over and picked him up and brought him to Meg. He hated Meg, so he moved around even more. Ally came over and picked him up. She took him back with her. The girls talked a little more. Thwn Ally checked her watch. �I gotta get Joey a bottle,� she said. �Somebody wanna take him for a sec?� He was handed to Suzie. He was mad at her. He heard Ally walk to the kitchen and open the fridge. He began to squirm around, uttering small whimpers. Ally hustled to the room and scooped him up. She sat on the couch with him. She nestled him in her arms and offered him the bottle. He accepted. As he sucked on it, he looked into Ally�s eyes, her deep brown eyes. He got very sleepy. Next thing he knew he had peed himself. Ally sensed it. She put a mat on the floor and untaped his diaper. She wiped, powdered, and lotioned him. Then put him in a new diaper. She brought him back to the couch. He finished the bottle and felt sleepy. He lay down on Ally�s stomach and closed his eyes. He was asleep. He awoke 15 minutes later. The girls were still there. He began to shiver. It got cold. Grace noticed. She handed Joe to Jess. Jess, he knew, didn�t like kids. He heard Ally run up the steps. He began to squirm in Jess�s arms. Then he began to cry. He didn�t know why, but he did. Ally ran into the room just as he uttered what sounded like �Ely�. Ally took him back to the couch and sat down with him. He was still sobbing. He was wrapped in the blanket, and his sobs were turned to sniffles as Ally put a pacifier in his mouth and stroked his hair. He calmed down. Next thing he knew, he was asleep with his head on Ally�s stomach. �Sometimes wishes do come true�, he thought. When he woke the next morning, he was 16 again. �Darn!� he thought.
