K.J.'s Story ------------ I made up my mind! I wasn't going to let bedwetting ruin my life. To a preteen guy, a social life is everything. I was twelve years old and I was still in toddler diapers(Luvs XL) at the time. I knew I couldn't let my friends see or hear the diapers, so I asked my brother Eric, who was 18 at the time (and he was a bedwetter until he was 14) how he handled bedwetting and sleepovers. He told me that I'm lucky because now they make Goodnites (they were new then) which are like pull-ups. I was excited for them. He got me a pack and when he got home, I rushed upstairs and opened the pack. I took one out and tried it on. I asked Eric if he could tell I was wearing it. He said no. He told me to take it off and pull up the leak locks around the legs and to put it back on and leave it on so it fits me better. Finally my two friends came over. Justin and Ryan were in my class and they didn't know I wet the bed. When I heard the doorbell ring. I ran upstairs and put the bag of Luvs in the upstairs bathroom closet. After dinner, my mom took us to the video store and to the store to get some snacks. We rented Jaws 2 and Carrie. We love horror movies. When we got back home, we played football outside before it got too dark. Eric played with us. Eric was usually mean to me, not really just like any older brother would be. He was so popular in high school, my friends loved him because he was so cool. He played football in high school so he was teaching us how to play. After that, Eric went out with his friends and we started to watch our movies. I did all of this stuff in the diaper. I felt good about wearing it because nobody could tell I was in it. After Carrie, we got ready for bed. We were going to sleep on the family room floor in our sleeping bags. Justin used the bathroom in the basement and Ryan went upstairs. I stayed downstairs to wait until one of them was done. Justin came back out and I went into that bathroom. I brushed my teeth and went to the bathroom and then i went upstairs and got some more chips and soda. Ryan was still upstairs. I didn't know what was taking him so long. We started to watch Jaws 2 and then we fell asleep. The next morning I woke up first. I wet the diaper. It leaked so much. The worst part was, I fell asleep on top of my sleeping bed and you could see the wetness on it. I heard someone coming downstairs. it was Eric. Eric took one look at my wet pj's and started to laugh. I said Shut up! Don't wake them up! He said the whole room smelled like pee and that I should change soon because everyone could see I was wearing a wet diaper under my pjs. Eric stepped on my sleeping bag without sleeping in his bare feet. He jumped up and said "Sh**" I said be quiet! he sat down on the couch and lifted up his leg and put it on his knee. Then he smelled his foot and said "Thanks a lot you little dork, now my toes smell like pee!" I said "shut up! your feet always stink anyway!" Eric went upstairs. Just then, Ryan woke up and sat up fast. He looked really worried. I said what's wrong? He said "I'm sorry but I wet last night and I think I ruined the carpet. I said "what?" and started to smile a little. He said, "I knew I shouldn't have said anything!" I said to him, "Don't worry. I wet too, and that's why I wear these.." I pulled down my pj's. He was glad to see my saggy diaper. He showed me that he was wearing a diaper. It was ONE OF MY LUVS from upstairs! He said that he told my mom last night that he wet the bed and forgot his diaper. She gave him one of mine. She told him that they were my younger cousins. Justin slept threw all of this and he still doesn't know I wet the bed. Ryan stopped wetting the bed last year but I still need diapers.
