One day I was walking home with some of my friends and some boys and I 
saw Matt speed by on his bike with some of his la cross friends. He 
didn't see the Red Toyota coming out of the intersection of the street. 
Next thing I knew Matt was on the ground, motionless. His friend Davis 
called 911 and one of the other kids whom I didn’t know ran back to the 
school to get help. The driver of the car came out and also called 911. 
I was very scared so I pulled out my cell and called my mom. Next thing 
you know she speeds down the street and nearly hits another kid.(there 
are enough people hurt today, anyway) When the ambulance came we got in 
the our van and followed. Mom called dad and dad met us at the 
hospital. We filled him in on what happened. A couple hours later the 
doctor came out and told us some good news and bad news for Matt. The 
doctor told us that Matt would live but he suffered nerve failure to 
his bladder and one of his kidneys, which needed to be removed. Three 
days later we visited Matt and he was very upset. Mom asked him why but 
the reply was obvious.

"I’m 15 and I’m not a baby and that la cross stars don't wear diapers," 
Matt whined. I was thinking, however, "The only one I know of is you."

When we left the hospital gave us a package of Innocence Briefs for 
Matt. I felt bad for him. When we got home mom showed me about how to 
diaper Matt. After a while I got the hang of it but the first time was 
terrible. Now I’m 15, my brother is 19 and now his girlfriend diapers 
him. When he comes home guess who changes him for old times’ sakes? Uh, 
uh, me.
