THE BABY CAMPER =============== Part 1 Barry Lunsford, 9, wasn't looking forward to the summer. This year, since his mom and dad divorced last fall, his mom wants him to go to a sleep-away summer camp for 4 weeks. He didn't want to go, but he knows his brothers, Brentford, 12, and Braden, 10, would be there. Barry said, "Mom, do I have to go there? What if I wet the bed?" His mom said, "You and your brothers will be fine. Don't worry. You'll have a great time. You guys will be leaving in a week." Brentford said, "Mom, we can't! We will get laughed at." Their mom said, "You won't. Now, time for bed. You guys can't be home this summer. Now, night all." Barry, Brent and Braden went up the stairs to their room. Barry said, "Are you guys looking forward to it?" Brent said, "I don't know!! I am scared. Why is mom doing this to us?" He went into his room after saying good night. Barry and Braden went to their room. Part 2 When they were in their bedrooms, their mom called her boyfriend, Mark Saltonstall, who was the counselor to the camp, and the single dad to 4 bedwetting boys. Mark said, "How did they take the news, Heather? I think they'll enjoy the camp." Heather said, "They took it okay. I didn't tell them that you or Mark, Michael, Mitch or Miles would be there. I think they'll like it." Mark said, "I think Camp Morningstar will be a great camp. I mean, this is going to be a camp for bedwetters and daywetters, kids who never been to camp before. Camp Morningstar will be a traditional camp, but kids will be diapered." Heather said, "I wish they would try diapers instead of having them wake up in a wet bed. They still don't know that your kids are bedwetters. They think they are the only kids." Mark said, "By the end of the month, they'll know Mark, Mike, Mitch and Miles are only a few of a whole bunch of bedwetters. Brent, Braden and Barry will be happily diapered by the end of the camp session. Of course, I'll miss you. We might have a parents weekend - and I'll call you at night." Heather said, "I'll be there, dear. How many campers will Morningstar have? Did you get many?" Mark said, "Morningstar will have about 30 boys. Most of them are from the area, but I did get 6 from overseas." Mark and Heather made small talk for about 15 more minutes, before Heather hung up. Barry, Braden and Brent were in their rooms, when Braden said, "Barry, do you know that Kefu is a bedwetter?" Barry said, "I heard the rumors at school. I would like to ask him if he is." Braden said, "He is. I asked him. I told him that I was. He said that 7 other kids at school are, too." Barry said, "Seven kids at school are? Wow, I wonder who they are." Barry thought of a kid in his class, Seymour who daily goes to the nurse's office. "I wonder if Sey is." "Seymour Cox?" Brad said. "Kefu knows everyone in school who is. He told me he'd be my friend. Kefu wears diapers to bed. He said that he hates waking up in a wet bed." Brad decided to ask his mom if he could call Kefu. His mom said he could for five minutes, so Brad called him up. Kefu's mom answered the phone and said, "Just a minute, he is getting changed." In a few minutes, Kefu said, "Hello?" Brad said, "Hi Kefu! This is Brad. I was calling to ask a question." He asked about diapers, so Kefu told Brad about a few sites on the Internet. "How many are bedwetters?" Brad exclaimed. "Five Million? That worldwide?" Kefu told Brad about a site called '5 Million Friends'. "In the USA? Wow, I thought we were the only one with a problem. Hey, I might try it tonight. Oh we? Me, Brent and Barry. Yes, we are." Brad hung up the phone. "Mom," Brad said, "Could you put me in the diapers you got a few weeks ago. I'll try them." His mom said, "Okay, but in the morning you'll have to wait until I get up to change you. Okay?" Brad said, "Okay." Heather led Brad upstairs and soon Brad was diapered. Brad went back into his room. Barry said, "You are going to try it?" Brad said, "Why not. If I can wake up in a dry bed, I'll be happy." Soon, Brad and Barry were asleep. In the morning, Barry woke up in a wet bed, while he looked at Brad's and saw his was dry. 'Maybe I should try a diaper on at night,' thought Barry. He took off his wet underwear and stripped his bed. Heather came in and woke up Brad. Brad's diaper was wet, but Heather said she'll change it after breakfast. Brent was walking past Brad and Barry's bedroom, when he saw Brad in a diaper. "Brad," Brent said, "Did it help you keep a dry bed?" Brad said, "Yes, it did." Heather looked at her boys and said, "I hope you'll try diapers. Brad, would you like to wear them today?' Brad said, "I don't know. I want to see those sites Kefu told me about. May I, mom?" It was a Saturday, so all they had to do was cleaning their bedroom, yard work and food shopping, so Heather told them he can while she was fixing breakfast. Brent and Barry had to get their sheets to the laundry. Barry, in his wet diapers, first went to 'Deeker's' and saw the stories, he then looked at some links of 'Deekers', so he decided to go to one. He couldn't so he tried another - BABY BROTHERS NURSERY, and he started to look at it. BABY BROTHERS NURSERY - or BBN - had an index of stories, pictures, poetry, a chat room and a message board. He decided to see if anyone was in the chatroom. He saw 5 kids were in there, so he typed, "Hi." Baby Darryl typed: 'Hi', as did BabyScotty. tahitianbaby typed 'Aloha'. BabyScotty asked Brad about himself, so Brad was talking about his interests. tahitianbaby has the same interests, BabyScotty liked the outdoors and Baby Darryl liked computers, everything that Brad liked. In ten minutes, Brad told them he had to eat, but he bookmarked it and said he'll be back. Part 3 After breakfast, Barry, Brad and Brent got permission to go on the computer after they clean their room and do their chores. Heather changed Brad and put him back into diapers. Brad then put on shorts and a t shirt. Heather said, "How do you like it?" She was looking at Brad and said, "Brad, after you clean your room, you got to do the lawn." His mom then left. Barry and Brent were told to strip by Heather. In about an hour and a half, Brad, Barry and Brent were finishing up the lawn, when Mark and his boys drove up. Barry, Brent and Brad looked at each other. Mark's oldest son, 13 year old Mark, came up to them. "Hey you guys, want to go to the railroad village museum? Dad is taking us to it." 11 year old Michael, 9 year old Mitch and 7 year old Miles, Mark's brothers, came up to them. "Did you hear where we're going? We are going to the train museum!" Heather called out for them to come into the house, so they did. Brad pushed the riding mower into the shed and shut the door. Brad asked, "Mom, can I go on the computer? I want to check something." Heather said he can, so he showed Brent and Barry the BBN page and they went to the chat room. A boy with the handle 'CribTeen' typed: 'My friends knows I'm a bedwetter and gay. I live in a small town, but if you ever saw me, you think I'm a 'normal teen'. I'm a 15 year old sophmore and I'm the second leading all time scorer for soccer at my school. I need about 7 goals next year to become the leading scorer.' Another boy with the handle 'DprJimmie' wrote:'Hello, Brad. Are you new online? CribTeen, do you wear diapers to school?' Cribteen wrote:'Hello Brad. Yes, my school knows I wear diapers. I'm one of about 17 diapered kids in my school. Ever read 'BABIED AT SCHOOL' in the story section? I'm writing it. It is a true story. Of course, I had to change a few things in the story, my school ROCHEMBEAU HIGH was changed to WASHINGTON HIGH, KEETAHTUCK RIVER and KEETAHTUCK FALLS been changed to LONETREE RIVER and LONETREE FALLS.' Brad typed, 'Krib, I think I know where you are from. Do you know a place called Mercy Point and Mercy Point Light?' Krib typed, 'Yes, why are you from Quiripi?' Brad typed, 'I'm going to RHS next year. When I heard you talk about KEETAHTUCK FALLS, I was wondering if you were in the area.' Krib typed, 'By the way, I'm Wray Lever.' Brad typed, 'You got a brother Rye?' Krib typed, 'Yes, he comes on as 'DprLilBro', why?' Brad typed, 'He is in my class at Longpath Middle.' DprJimmie typed, 'Boy, I wouldn't believe I would meet people who lives 15 miles from me. I live in BlackEarth, and I go to Wabaquasset Valley Middle School.' In a few minutes, they were joined by 4 new chatters; 'BabyShane', 'DprLuvr', 'Diaper'dBoy' and 'BabyDennis'. Krib typed,'Hey, BabyShane, Say hello to a classmate of yours, Brad. Rye and you are in his class? Rye wants you to come over.' Brad typed, 'Is that Shane Keating?' Barry said, "Shane Keating? I think his brother, Kerill, is in my class?" Brad said, "I'll type the question." He typed and Shane wrote back: 'Yes, Kerill is my brother. Brad, you a bedwetter?' Brad typed, 'Yes, we are. Gotta go. We are going to the Railroad Village Museum. Shane, e mail me, okay?' Shane typed, 'I'll invite you over sometime. OK?' Brad typed, 'Sure.' He then shut off the computer and said, "Did you like that chat, you guys?" Barry and Brent said that they did. Heather told them to get ready for the trip, so they went upstairs. Miles was coming out of Heather's room in just a wet diaper followed by Mark. Barry, Brent and Brad looked at each other. In a few minutes, they were changed into underwear and shorts and they went to the Railroad Village Museum. The museum is a recreated 1875 village that recalled life in a 1875 railroad hub. The village was first opened in 1933, when the Sevenoaks & Elmwood line was abandoned. The line went 26 miles through rural areas, so it wasn't needed. When they got to the museum, Mark said, "Dad, I need to go to the bathroom. I'll meet you at the '1899'." The 1899 was the trademark steam loco at the museum. Mark opened the door and ran out.
