Alex's Problem Summary: This story is about a young boy who has a total humiliation in school. Part 1 Alex is a 5 year old who was going to start kindergarten. It was his first day. When he got to his class, his teacher, Miss Ashley, said that they where going to paint first. Alex was excited. He was a great artist. Unlike most kids his age, he could draw at a 3rd grade level. When he got his paint, he started to draw a picture of a cat. Halfway done, he had to pee. He thought "I could hold it". But only minutes later, to his surprise, he completely soaked his pants. The teacher must have noticed and picked him up and brought him to her desk. Then she said loudly enough for the class to hear, "look, the baby wet his pants!" He started crying. "I am not a baby!" "But only little baby's wet themselves like that!" she said as she pulled down his pants. Everyone was still laughing. Then she laid him down on her desk and pulled a pull-up on him. Then she sent him back to his work. While working he was mostly crying. Then she announced that it was time to start spelling. He was fast to catch on. While spelling the word bee, he looked down and to his sock, the stars on his pull-ups were gone. Then the same thing happened but this time, she put a baby Pampers on him. It was a long day. When Alex's mom came to pick him up, his teacher told her everything. On the car ride home, she said nothing. When Alex got home his sister asked how his first day was. "Wet," their mom said. Alex ran to his room out of shame. Two minutes later, his mom called him downstairs. When he got down she asked Alex if he was wet. He quietly said, "yes." Then she took off his diaper and to his surprise, she put regular pants on him. "I am going to give you 1 more chance she said." "Thank you," Alex said. Then he went back to his room. He played there for the rest of the day. At dinner they had hamburgers, Alex's favorite. His sister was the one that cooked tonight. She was a good cook. Then after watching some TV Alex went to bed. Part 2 The next day Alex was dropped off at school. As he entered the classroom his teacher waved him down. When Alex walked over she checked him. "What a surprise, you are dry," she said. Then Alex went over to his desk. At recess he was playing on the swings. Then he felt the need to pee. So he went to the teacher that was doing recess duty. Alex asked her if he could go to the bathroom. She said yes. When Alex reached the bathroom door, Miss Ashley stopped him. "Where are you going?" she asked. "To the bathroom," Alex said. "But babies don't go potty in the toilet," she said. "What do you mean?" Alex asked." "What I mean is that you have proven to me that you are incapable of pottying anywhere other then your pants," she said. "I can use the toilet," Alex protested. "Sure doesn't look like it," she said as she pointed to his pants. He started crying, Alex wet his pants again. Then she took his hand and took him to the classroom. Then she once again put a pull-up on him. Alex was just happy that no one was around to see this. Then she sent him back to recess. The worst part of this was that he knew that his mom was going to kill him, and that his two brothers and sister were going to tease him forever. To be finished at a later date.
