You Need a Diaper

Summary: It's a world where all boys at the age of 10 lose bladder 
control and have to go back to diapers for 2 or 3 years, until puberty 
sets in and they gradually regain control, enabling them to be toilet 
trained and weaned off of diapers. Pampers, Luvs, Huggies, and all the 
brands for babies and toddlers sell diapers for Pre-Teen and Adolescent 
aged boys who need diapers, too. This is a story of how a family of 
close-knit men deals with the ups and downs of toilet training their 
pubescent sons and grandsons in the context of a family event.

It's November 1984, and Jack Smith is 14 years and 5 months old. His 
dad successfully toilet trained him for during the day in the summer of 
1983 when he turned 13, but he continued wearing Pampers at night. In 
April 1984, he woke up in a dry diaper 2 nights in a row. The third 
night, his dad told him he was not going to put a Pamper on him, just 
to see what happens. He woke up dry the next morning and has not worn a 
Pamper day or night ever since.

This Saturday in mid-November, Jack has promised his grandfather who 
lives next door that he would help him and his great-uncle rake leaves. 
His cousin Robbie might come over later, but he and his dad Rob had 
another commitment, so they probably wouldn't be over until mid 
afternoon, if at all. Jack's dad had promised his wife, daughter and 
mother that he would take them to a mall far away, so Jack would hang 
out with grandpop today.

Jack was in 9th grade and played on the ninth grade football team. This 
Saturday they did not have a game. Several days a week this fall, Jack 
has had to get up really early for practices before school. Since he 
was 14 and pretty groggy on these early mornings, Jack's dad John let 
him drink coffee with him in the morning. Even though it was after 8 
this particular Saturday morning, Jack was groggy and asked his dad if 
he could have a cup of coffee. His dad said, "sure son," so Jack got 
himself some coffee. There was extra in the pot toward the end of 
breakfast, so John poured Jack a second cup without even asking him if 
he wanted more. Jack had never had more than 1 cup of coffee on any 
given day before this. In addition, Jack had a medium sized glass of 
orange juice and milk on his cereal.

Jack rushed to the bathroom as soon as he was done breakfast, because 
he really had to pee. Then he showered, and as soon as the shower was 
done, he ran to the toilet because he had to pee again. Then he got 
dressed, and before he left the house to walk next door to his 
grandfather's, he had to pee again. Back to the bathroom for the third 
time in about 45 minutes.

When he got to his grandpop's, his grandfather and great-uncle Tom were 
at the kitchen table drinking coffee. His grandfather asked him if he 
drank coffee yet, and Jack said, yeah, I drink coffee now, so the 
grandfather said, "Help yourself." Wanting to look mature, he poured 
himself a cup of coffee and drank it with his grandfather and great-
uncle. There was enough left for a half a cup in the pot after Jack 
took his cup, so grandpop asked Jack and Uncle Tom who wanted it. 
Neither replied, so grandpop poured it into Jack's cup. Before they 
went outside to start raking leaves, Jack went into the downstairs 
bathroom because he had to pee again.

When Jack got outside, the two men were already raking. Grandpop told 
him what part of the back yard to start raking, and he proceeded to 
rake. But every 20 minutes, Jack had to stop raking and go to the 
bathroom to pee. When Jack proceeded to leave his raking a third time, 
his grandpop asked him if he felt all right. Jack said, "I feel fine, I 
just have to pee a lot today."

�How much did you have to drink today," said grandpop.

�Let's see, three and a half cups of coffee and a glass of orange 
juice," said Jack.

�No wonder you have to pee so much." Jack runs into the house to pee. 
Uncle Tom says to Jack's grandfather: "Don't yeh have any diapers for 
him?" Grandpop replies, "Oh, he's been trained a long time now, he'll 
be all-right."

"Awe, the poor kid can't rake up a bag's worth of leaves without 
runnin� for the toilet, I feel sorry for him," said Uncle Tom.

�Let him wear a diaper."

�Let's see if this trip gets all the pee out of him," said grandfather, 
"I don't want to deal with Jack or his dad tellin� me he's too old to 
be put in diapers."

�I hear yeh, there's nothing more touchy than fights with the kids over 
how to treat the grandkids," said Uncle Tom.

Jack returned from the bathroom, and not even 15 minutes went by and he 
had to leave to go to the bathroom again. Grandpop decided to follow 
him in, and wait for him in the kitchen. When Jack came out of the 
bathroom, Grandpop said to him: "Come upstairs with me for a minute."

�What for?" said Jack.

�So I can put a diaper on you," said grandpop.

�A diaper!," exclaimed Jack with shock.

�Yup, you need a diaper," replied grandpop. (Jack is thinking to 
himself that he has never known anyone who wore a diaper after they 
turned 14, and he really doesn�t want to wear one) He replies, "But I 
didn't have an accident Pop,"

�I know," said grandpop, "but I really need your help outside and you 
can't get much done if you're constantly goin� to the bathroom. It'll 
be easier on you �cause you can just pee in your Pamper, and it'll be 
easier on me and your old uncle because we won't have to rake so many 
leaves."

�Deal," said grandpop, with a loving smile. Jack replied: "deal, Pop," 
with a genuine smile in return. (Suddenly, Jack didn't feel bad about 
wearing a diaper, �cause grandpop made him feel like it was okay.)

The two went into a bedroom. Jack sat on the bed and took off his 
shoes. Grandpop opened up a trunk and brought out an opened box of 
Pampers that already had a changing pad, wipes and a jar of diaper rash 
cream inside of it. He laid the box on the bed, took out the changing 
pad, and spread it across the bed. Jack unsnapped and unzipped his 
jeans and crawled over to the changing pad, and laid his backside on 
the pad. Grandpop pulled Jack's jeans down to about his knees, then he 
pulled down his grandson's jockey shorts until they laid loosely inside 
of the jeans. He took out the jar of rash cream, unscrewed the lid, and 
put ample cream on Jack's entire diaper region. While Jack was being 
creamed, he noticed a whittled mallard on the table beside the bed, and 
said, "Did you make this Pop?"

"Yup, I sure did," said grandpop.

�Can you teach me how to do this sometime?" said Jack, and grandpop 
replied.

�Sure, I didn't know you liked that kind of thing."

�Yeh," said Jack, "I think that's real cool."

�Well once the back yard is raked, I'll give you a whittling lesson, 
deal?"

�Deal," responded Jack with a smile. Then grandpop wiped his hands 
clean with a wipe, put the lid back on the cream and said: "bottoms 
up," and Jack lifted his bottom off of the pad so grandpop could put 
his Pamper underneath of him. Then grandpop said: "ease �er down," 
which meant to lower his butt onto the diaper. Grandpop smiled and 
said, "you remember this procedure very well, you get an A for diaper 
changin�." Jack laughed a bit and said, "it's a lot easier then 
Algebra." Grandpop said, "I'm sure it is," as he pulled the front of 
the Pamper between Jack's legs, then fastened the tapes. Then he 
commented, "That fits yeh fine," as he patted the side of Jack's Pamper 
with the palm of his right hand. Then he pulled up Jack's jockey shorts 
and put them over top of his Pamper, and said, "you're good to go."

�Thanks pop," said Jack, and grandpop said, "thank you for bein� such a 
good sport about this."

�No problem, said Jack, "we gotta get them leaves done."

"That's for sure," said grandpop, as Jack swung his legs off the side 
of the bed, pulled up and fastened his jeans, then sat back down on the 
bed and put on his shoes. While Jack was dressing, grandpop folded up 
the changing pad and put it, the wipes and the cream back in the 
Pampers box. As soon as Jack was done tying his shoes, he said, "I 
can't wait until you show me how to wittle," as he eyed the mallard on 
the table. "I think it's neat that you want to learn," said grandpop. 
The two head downstairs. Grandpop carries the box of Pampers with him 
and leaves it on the kitchen table as they pass by it on their way to 
the back yard. Jack thinks to himself and realizes that Pop is going to 
change him right on the kitchen carpet when he needs a fresh diaper.

Uncle Tom has been raking by himself the whole time that Jack was being 
diapered. "Where you two been," says Uncle Tom. Grandpop replies: 
"Jack's got a diaper on now, no more poddy breaks."

�All right!" says Tom, as he smiles at Jack. "Now we'll get some real 
work out of this slacker," Tom says, as he puts his arm around Jack 
with his right arm and pats him on the stomach with his left hand.

�You're growin�-up into a fine young man, both you and your cousin 
Robbie," Tom says to Jack.

�You guys are a big help to your grandparents."

�Thanks," said Jack.

�Jack, would you get me a bag and help me get these leaves in there, 
said Tom.

"Sure," said Jack, as he walks to the bags, bends over, picks up a bag, 
and walks it over to Tom. They repeat this procedure several times. 
When Jack bends over, a little bit of the white plastic from the top of 
his Pamper shows.

Jack continues to pee every 20 minutes or so for the next hour and a 
half. Grandpop goes inside because he has to go to the bathroom, and 
while he's in the house, Jack pees in his Pamper again. This time, Jack 
can feel his diaper get really heavy. He still feels dry, but when he 
walks to get another leaf bag, he can feel the weight of his diaper 
make it feel awkward to walk. The stay-dry lining is still keeping his 
skin feeling dry, but the bulk and the heaviness makes him think that 
he better get changed. He brings back a bag to his uncle and says: 
"Uncle Tom, I think I need my diaper changed, could you change me?"

�Sure," said Tom, "let's have a look see first." Tom kneels down and 
unfastens Jack's pants. Then he pulls down Jack's jockey shorts just 
far enough to examine his diaper. Tom sees that the white plastic in 
most of the front of Jack's diaper has turned yellow from urine, and it 
has that doughy look of a wet diaper. He says, "boy, you've been busy, 
let's get you changed." Tom pulls up Jack's jockeys and refastens his 
pants. The two walk into the house through the kitchen door. As soon as 
they walk in, Jack goes toward the table to get the Pampers box, but 
before he picks up the box Tom sees it and says, "Pampers, for Jack 
Smith."

�Nope, for Tom Smith," says Jack as he picks up the box and hands it to 
his uncle. As soon as he gives his uncle the Pampers, he unfastens his 
pants, pulls them and his jockey shorts down, and lies down on the 
carpeted kitchen floor. Grandpop comes out of the bathroom while this 
is happening, and Tom looks at grandpop and says: "I must have peed my 
pants �cause Jack says these Pampers are for me."

"I got �em for both of yeh," says grandpop. Tom opens up the changing 
pad, and Jack slides himself over so that he is lying on top of it. Tom 
then takes off Jack's wet Pamper, folds it up, wipes his diaper area 
with baby wipes, gets some paper towels to dry him, then puts diaper 
cream on him, wipes his hands, dries them with paper towels, then puts 
a fresh Pamper on Jack. T! hen he says, "not bad for an old uncle who's 
out of practice." As he pulls up Jack's jockeys, he feels that the 
crotch area of the briefs is wet.

�Ooh, these are wet," and he looks and sees two small spots of yellow 
urine on the mid section of the jockey shorts. A little urine had 
leaked from the leg gathers of Jack's first Pamper onto his shorts, but 
his pants had stayed dry. Tom checks Jack's pants to make sure they're 
not wet too, then he says, "Your pants look okay, but your shorts got a 
little shower, you don't need them anyway with a diaper on." Tom takes 
off Jack's shoes, pulls off his pants and his wet jockeys, then puts 
his pants back on him.

�You can do the rest," Tom says, so Jack gets up and fastens his pants 
over top of his fresh diaper.

�Thanks, uncle Tom, says Jack.

"My pleasure," says Tom, as he walks to the laundry room and puts 
Jack's jockey shorts on the washing machine. Jack puts on his shoes, 
then they go outside and rake for another half hour or so until lunch.

Jack peed in his second Pamper once as they were coming in for lunch. 
He had water to drink with lunch and he continued to pee at least every 
half hour, until about 2:30. Then, that pressure in his bladder that he 
had had all day disappeared. Around 3:00, the yard was completely 
raked. Grandpop asked Jack if he needed changing, and Jack said, "it 
probably wouldn't hurt." Grandpop changed him on the kitchen floor and 
then about 5:00 he went home. Between 3 and 5, Jack got a lesson on 
whittling out in the back garage. He only peed in his Pamper once 
during the entire lesson, and he didn't pee very much.

That afternoon, after the raking was done. Jack walked home. John, 
Jack's dad had returned and proposed that the family go out to dinner 
at Dennys. Jack said, �I gotta go to the bathroom first, I'll be right 
back.

"Okay" said John. Instead of using the bathroom downstairs, Jack heads 
upstairs. John says to Jack from the bottom of the stairs, "the 
bathroom down here's free, why don't you use that one, its quicker and 
we want to get goin�, we're hungry." Jack said, "I gotta get something 
from my room first."

�What for," said John, we want to get goin�.�

"Ah, I need some new undies," said Jack.

�Did you have an accident?" said John.

�Not exactly," said Jack. Jack unfastened his pants in front of his 
dad, so that he could see Jack's Pamper and said, "Pop put a diaper on 
me."

"I see, what for, did you have an accident?"

"No, but I had to pee so much that Pop said I needed one. But I've had 
this one on since 3:00 and I only used it once, and just a little bit, 
I don't need it anymore."

"When did you have to pee so much?" said John.

"This morning and after lunch."

"Maybe you can't handle a second cup of coffee yet?", said John.

"I had two more cups with Pop and uncle Tom this morning," said Jack.

"That explains it." Unless it needs changin�, just leave it on until we 
get back from Denny�s, we're hungry."

"Okay," says Jack. Jack refastens his pants and the whole family gets 
in the car and goes to Denny�s.

The end.
