How JB Became Famous

[Toni]

Chapter XV: JB Tries Some New Things



Just after I finished my cup of milk Glyn finished too. She sat up and said, "Aaaahhh," real loud, and we all giggled. Then she pointed at me and said, "Look, JB has a stiffy!" I put my hands over my parts and blushed.



Glyn's mom said, "That happens, Glyn, your brother got one whenever he nuzzled. He still does."



Glyn looked at Marnie and asked, "Can I touch it, please?"



"That is all up to JB, but you must be very, very gentle."



Glyn said, "Pretty please, JB?" and I moved my hand, and she touched it, first with a finger, and then she held it in her hand softly.



Glyn's mom said, "Glyn, JB and Marnie have some chores to finish tonight so we need to leave. Bring me you clothes."



Glyn wanted me to spend the night with her, but I didn't want that! I wanted to stay with Marnie! Luckily, Marnie said we had way too much to do, but promised a playdate soon.



As soon as we got inside Marnie made me lie down on the floor and put a diaper on me, just because all my other clothes were in the wash again. She told me she had done a lot of shopping for me today, but had waited to buy clothes or toys until I was with her. Tomorrow we were going on a spree!



The chore we had was moving stuff out of the room that was going to be mine. It was just stuff she had stored in there. We had to load boxes. Some of them she put in another room that was like her office, some she took up to an attic, the giant ones she left for the painters that were coming to paint the room tomorrow while we were shopping.



Just after we got started I said, "Marnie, I need to take a dump," because I did. Marnie got down on one knee to look me in the eye. I knew I had done something wrong.



She said, "JB, I know that is what you hear the big kids say, some of them even say that or 'take a leak' to me when I'm teaching, but I do not want you to say it. You tell me if you need to peepee or to poo or go pottie. If you want, especially when others are around, you can say you have to use the bathroom to sound all grown up, but I'd prefer you say which thing you need to do. Understand?"



I whispered, "Sorry, I gotta poo, Marnie."



Marnie smiled and said, "OK, sweetheart, I just want you to do it the nice way," and she undid the tapes on my diaper and carried me into the bathroom with doors from my room and the office and sat me down on the seat. It was a funny kind of seat and had this part that stuck up in the front. When some pee came out I realized it was to keep the pee in the toilette if I forgot to push down on my thing; that seemed like a good idea.



She left me there and told me to call when I was ready to wipe, when I was she came back and cleaned me with some wet wipes and then I lay on the floor again while she put on some powder and redid my diaper.



Then we had to pick out the new colors, and I got to pick and chose two really pretty ones.



When we had gotten all the boxes out of the room that we could move we took a brake, and I got more juice We swept and dusted until Marnie said it was bath time. That didn't make any sense since I'd played in the sprinklers, but Marnie said it did, and I would have to take one every single night from now on.



She made me sit on the toilette, just in case again, while she filled up the big tub. When she got sure I wasn't going to go she lifted me into the tub. Then she took her clothes off and got in with me.



We played together with my duck and boat for awhile, and I kept looking down there - at her - you know. Finally I said, "The hair makes you look a lot different than Glyn."



I thought she would either get mad that I looked or think that was silly, but she said, "Well, I am a bit older and even ladies change some. Lots of ladies have more hair there, but I cut some of it off."



I went over to her, and she held me, and I touched down where the hair was, and it was OK with her. I even let my finger slip inside a tiny bit, but it didn't hurt her, but she did whisper, "Gentle." Then I leaned my head on her breast and touched the thing that looked like a pencil eraser and she asked if I wanted to kiss that, so I did and started giggling.



She washed me, and then I washed her back for her. She got out of the tub and dried off before she took me out. I lay on a towel on her bed again while she put ointment, oil, cream and powder all over me. She slipped a yellow and blue striped pajama top over my head and then started to put some blue PJ shorts over my diaper, but I didn't like 'em, and she took them off.



 We went to the kitchen, and she said, "One more cup of milk, little one. Then it is time for bed."



I said, "I'm really, really not tired at all. Can we play or watch TV?"



She stared at me, and I thought she was going to be mad, but she said, "You know, you are much perkier than last night, JB. I think that little nap this afternoon did a lot of good. We should try to do that more often."



"Oh no," I said, "Another baby thing."



She laughed and carried me over to a chair. I sat in her lap facing her, and she said, "Are you really still so worried about being a baby? You do have a lot of fun doing things for younger children, you know?"



I said, "Nah, not with you, not here, it is really nice, Marnie." I was looking down at here breast, she had never put any clothes on, and I touched her nipple. "But I don't want to be a baby all the time, and I don't want to be one and get beat up and teased by people if they find out."



"Oh the big world and little world problem," she said. "JB, lots of people are going to think you are the age to do most of what you do just because you do them. We discussed this already, right?"



I nodded and kept playing with her nipple.



She said, "The rest of it is my job to keep secret, OK? Trust me, baby."



I grinned and nodded, and she said, "Do you want to taste that, JB?" meaning her nipple.



I grinned real big. "It would be nice to drink the way Glyn can," I said.



"You can pretend to. I'd like that, and I've started taking some pills that will make it possible soon, and sooner if you pretend to enough."



"Really?"



"Yes, really. But we have to keep it a secret from most people; can I trust you to do that?



I laughed and she said we could do it in the den where it was more comfortable. We listened to some music and I pretend nuzzled for. It gave me a stiffy, as Glyn called it, and I had to pee too. I didn't want to stop in the middle, so I just went in the diaper on purpose. I learned a new good thing about diapers, it's easier to pee with a stiffy in them because you don't have to bend it down.



I felt really good and happy, and Marnie turned on a movie to watch about a boy that could turn into animals. When it was a good stopping point she went to the kitchen and came back with things hid behind her back. She said, "JB, for your real bed time drink would you like to use this?" She showed me the big sippy cup I had used last night. "...Or this?" She showed me a real baby bottle!



"It is up to you, little guy. And it is different from what we did before, but you know Glyn, and even her big brother once in a while, still use these too."



I pointed to the bottle, and she went and filled it with the funny warm milk like I'd had at dinner. After the bottle I still wasn't sleepy , but Marnie said she was, and we both went to bed.



Marnie put on a long shirt and got into bed beside me. I had forgot to tell her I was wet, but decided it wouldn't matter. And Marnie sang songs to help herself get to sleep.



When I woke up the next day I was real, real wet because I had gone to sleep wet. Marnie was still asleep, and I didn't know what to do, so I kissed her cheek. She smiled, but didn't open her eyes, so I did it again, and she rolled over and said, "Morning, sweetheart."



I cuddled next to her and said, "Hi."



"It's still very early, but we do have another very busy day today. Wait here a minute, sweetie."



She came back real fast with a baby bottle of milk and held me while I drank it. For the second time I wet my self on purpose. Well sort of, I felt it start on its own, but could have stopped it if I'd wanted to. Really I could have.



When the bottle was empty she asked me to pretend to nuzzle for five minutes. She said we should do that at least three times every day to help her make milk. Again doing that gave me a stiffy.



While she was changing me I said, "Marnie, could I call you something else 'sides Marnie?"



"Why, honey? Is something wrong with Marnie."



"Nuh-uh, but I thought of something better that sounds kind 'a like it."



"What's that, honey?"



"Mommy," I said, and right in the middle of putting powder on my bottom she stopped and grabbed me for a big hug until I said, "Aaagh."



"Of course, you can call me that, baby!



She got me some juice, this time in a cup with a top again, and let me sit in the den and watch cartoons while she got dressed and stuff. Just when she called, "Come back here. It's your turn, sweetie." The door bell rang, she went to answer and I watched from around the corner.



It was Nora, the nurse, and I jumped up and ran and gave her a hug. She got down and hugged me back and said, "Marnie, we are going to talk about this." Then I saw a lady walking up behind her. It was Dr Spinner, my school principal, and I pulled away and went to hide.

[Toni]

Chapter XVI: JB and the Argument.



I ran all the way down the hall at first and went clear to the other side of Marnie's bed and got down on the floor. I could hear all the ladies talking but I couldn't tell what they were saying. Then I heard someone yell. I figured it was Dr Spinner because neither Nora nor Marnie had yelled before, and the principal at my old school did a lot. But then I heard a different voice yell too.



I walked up the hall very slowly. The ladies were in the living room not the den. I went and hid behind the big chair in the den.



Marie said, "I did not tell those shitheads anything! And you God damn well know that, Nora!"



And Nora said, "You might as fuc-king well have. It was because of your rules and your stupid asshole league that they got suspicious and started the suit!"



I didn't know what they were talking about then either, but thought it was about the fight that Abby had told me about.



My grandmother used to scream all those words when she was mad at me, and my mother used them all the time, but I didn't think ladies like Marnie and Nora ever did.



Dr Spinner said, "That is not what we are here for. What happened then was because of three other people and some cruel students. Neither of you. That is why you still have your jobs! Now about this child. Why is he here?"



"His mother agreed it was best," Marnie said.



I creeped over and sat by the wall near the living room. I had my head on my knees, and my tears were making my legs wet.



"See! She just goes past the channels. What about protective services?" Nora said.



"He has been there before! And I talked to Jim Zimmer too."



"F# ( " at " ) *ing D*&m. Her old lover!!"



"He isn't, and you know that D*&M well, Nora."



"Well," Principal Spinner said, "If you have talked to a CPS worker and have the mother's permission...in writing, I suppose?"



"Notarized," Marnie said.



"...then it is not school business."



"S#^&! So she gets her, just like that," Nora said.



"Ch***, Nora, Knock off the C%*p"



I jumped up and ran into the other room. I was crying, and I shouted, "Stop! Stop! Why are you so mean to each other."



All the ladies were quiet; then Dr Spinner said, "This is the child we are discussing?"



Nora said "So, diapers 24-7, Marnie?" I had forgot that I was just wearing a diaper and PJ top until she said that.



Marnie said, "Come on, JB, let me take you to the other room so the grown-ups can talk."



"NO!" I said, "You are about the only people that have ever been nice to me! Ever!!WHY do you hate each other! Stop! It's not fair! Stop! Make up and like each other!"



Marnie said, "Did you hear what our baby just said, Nora?" But Nora didn't say anything.



Principle Spinner said, "JB, are you happy here with Ms Evens and does she take good care of you."



I nodded as Marnie picked me up, and Nora just stared at me.



"And Nurse Marks is nice too you and helps you when you need it?"



I nodded again.



"I think this has become something between the two of you, as long as Zimmer is informed," she said, "And, Nora, I do hope you will work it out."



Nora said, "I don't see how. She won't let her real self out. Don't you see that."



Marnie said, "JB isn't the same as the other two, Nora. But there are some similarities."



Principal Spinner said, "I have a feeling he needs both of you, Nora. But I don't want the school involved in something like last year again. Period. As for the locker room thing, this child is within the new guidelines. I don't think we will have a problem with that after what happened. Can you two work something out?"



Nora sighed and said, "We will see. I need to get to the conference downtown. Sorry to have bothered you, Gladys."



Dr Spinner said, "No, you should have informed me, Nora. It was right to."



I stretched my arms out to Nora. "Will you still be nice to me at school?" I asked her.



Marnie let Nora take me, and she said, "Of course I will, Jade. Why would you ask such a thing, honey? I'll be there whenever you need me."



Marnie said, "Come to dinner tomorrow. JB's room will be painted, and you can see the colors he picked out. I think you will like them."



"They are real, real, real, real pretty," I said.



"We will see about that too," Nora said, and she hugged me, and I kissed her, and she kissed me back and put me down on the floor and left.



I climbed up on Marnie until she picked me up. Then I put my head on her shoulder and asked, "Is she still mad, Mommy?"



"Not at you at all, at all, love."



Dr Spinner said, "We will find a time to meet Monday and make some schedule changes. This is the one involved in that Shop incident, I take it."



Marnie nodded, and Dr Spinner said, "I'll talk to Nora tonight too, Marnie. Good bye and your baby needs to be changed by the way." And the principal patted me on the head and smiled at me before she left.



I didn't think I needed a new diaper at all, but it turned out I was wet and had some poo in them too.



I didn't know what to think about that. Both had happened without my knowing at all, but I was thinking about other things and real worried too.



Marnie didn't say anything about it and didn't put me in another diaper either. I got to wear the shorts and t-shirt I'd worn at school yesterday.



We went to the kitchen, and I sat at the table looking at the Sunday comics, which came that morning even though it was Saturday, while she made scrambled eggs and made toast.



She had got me a booster seat to use, and I felt different because I wasn't use to being so high at a table when I wasn't sitting on my legs. And I also had a new place mat at my place, a big plastic one with a rainbow and little bunnies and other animals on it.



I hadn't even finished my first cup of juice when she brought the breakfast over. She had broke up the toast into little bitty pieces and I ate one of those, then I ate a bite of the eggs, using my hands because I couldn't get it to stay on the spoon and then I wasn't hungry and just pushed stuff around on the plate. Marnie took me in her lap and use her fork to put some bites of egg in my mouth but, after three, I wouldn't open up any more.



"Are you still real, real sad about Nora, sweetie?" she asked.



I nodded.



"So am I, baby." she said, and she got up and put something in the microwave. When it beeped she brought over a baby bottle of milk and took me into her lap again and tried to put it in my mouth.



I slapped the bottle away and said, "I don't want ta be a baby anymore." But I didn't try to get out of her lap.



She said, "It's OK, JB. Just take it in your mouth while we talk."



I did, but I knew I couldn't say anything if I did that.



Marnie said, "I guess you think you can't be happy until you know that Nora is happy, don't you."



I nodded, and then did start playing with the nipple of the bottle with my lips and tongue.



"I feel that way too. Nora and I used to be very good friends. We need to get out of the house before the painters come. I promised my friend that is doing it that we wouldn't be in his way. So staying hear and mopping isn't going to work. Also, we really need to go shopping for you some school clothes and some toys, JB. Do you think that will make you feel better?"



I shook my head, and now I was drinking from the bottle.



"You sure, sweetheart? Some people really like shopping when they are down. Not even toy shopping?"



I shook my head again. I really had never been shopping that much, and when I had it meant getting pulled around the stores and yelled at.



Marnie sort of smiled and said, "I'm not that kind of shopper either. Do you know what does cheer me up? The beach. Would you like that, sweetie?"



"I never been," I said around the bottle.



"Then let's try it. If it works we will do a little shopping on the way home and the rest tomorrow. Should we see if Trish and Glyn want to go with us?"



I nodded, and pushed the bottle out of my mouth and got down from her lap.

I wasn't happy yet but already felt better.



Marnie said, "OK, we need a cooler and the umbrella and I need to change.... Let's get busy."

[Toni]

Chapter XVII: JB's trip to the Beach

Marnie got real busy real fast, and I just followed her from room to room. She was different from any busy grown-up I'd ever seen. Instead of standing in the middle and telling me what to do, she just started doing stuff, and I had to keep asking her if I could help.

And she let me too, but the very first thing she did was to grab me, put me over her shoulder and pull my shorts off without even telling me what she was doing, and then tell me to go potty, just to be safe, while she called Glyn and her mom. After that was all done, she brought in a cooler and I helped but a bunch of bottles of juice in it, then I took all her stuff out of her sports bag while she put on this really neat looking blue swim suit that just had a string in the back and other strings that held it all together. She put on a real loose, pretty, white and blue, flowery dress over it that tied at the back too to hold it up, and I shoved eight big towels into the bag.

We took bunches of stuff out of the back of Marnie's car and loaded other stuff into it, and then she started to put me into my seat, and I said, "Mommy, I don't have any pants on!"

We had to go back in and look all over for my shorts - they were in the den on a chair - and, as I was stepping into the panties, with my hands on Mommy's shoulders, I said, "Mommy, can I not do any baby stuff today while I'm with Glyn?"

"Well," Mommy said, "part of that is up to you, sweetheart, but I won't make you, but I don't think Glyn would have much fun with a great-big-though-guy boy. Do you?"

I shook my head as she buttoned my shorts, and she said, "So how about you be a little boy for today, OK?"

I said, "K," and she pulled me into her lap and said, "A good little boy?"

"'Course," I said.

"A good, sweet, huggable little boy?"

And she hugged me tight, and I said, "Yeah."

"A good, sweet, huggable, precious little boy that I can pick up and carry sometimes?" she said, and picked me up and carried me out to the car, and I was giggling and kissed her and didn't say nothing.

While she was fixing my seat belt, she said, "There are two things that you might think are baby things that you must do today, so I'll tell you now so you want get embarrassed or fussy."

"Wha?" I said.

"You will have to practice nuzzling sometime, but we will try to find somewhere private for that, OK? And you must lie down for a while after lunch just to see if you fall asleep. I think Glyn will have to do both of those things too, so that won't be too bad, will it?"

I shook my head, and she said, "OK, everything else I ask of you will just be little boy things, sweetie."

When she was backing out of the driveway I said, "I remembered, I don't have a swim suit."

"We'll worry about that when we get there, OK, sweet little boy?" she said as she pulled into Glyn's drive, which was right next door, and Glyn ran out of the house before we had stopped, so I didn't have time to answer.

Glyn was wearing a yellow dress, sort of like Marnie's, but with strings on the shoulders instead of around the neck and back. She was jumping up and down while Marnie helped me out of the car, and it flew out so far you could have seen her unders except she had on a swimming suit bottom instead anyway, and it didn't matter because of what I'd seen last night.

They had lots more stuff. Even more than we did, like rafts and buckets and little shovels and  real big ball and a pump to blow those things up with and a tent thing that was only half a tent really and another cooler. When we got all that crammed in the back we had to add a little red wagon to help move it to the beach from the parking lot.

Glyn had to use a booster seat too so we had to move hers from her car to ours and get it hooked up (but with hers the strap went across her lap like regular, not between her leg, and she could do it herself, but her mom checked to see if it was tight). And all the time we were loading stuff Glyn was telling me about the stuff they had brought for out lunch, which was a long time away. Eventually we did pull out, and just in time too because a van with ladders on its sides was pulling up as we left and Marnie said it was the painters whose way we were supposed to get out of the way of, and she honked and waved to them.

As soon as we turned the first corner Glyn asked, "Are we there yet?" And Marnie and her mom laughed and said we had about an hour to go. And then she started talking about jumping over waves and building castles and doing other things that you can do at the beach, and she told me all about jelly fish and sea shells too.

Just before we got on the highway Marnie pulled into a gas place and got gas and then went inside and got bags of ice, but Glyn's mom sat in the car with us, and she said, "This is the last stop 'til we get there. Do either of you need to go potty?"

Glyn answered, "Moooom! No we don't need to go to the BAthroom." Then she said to me, "Don't you hate it when they use baby words and treat you like a baby and all, JB?"

And I said, "Yeah, sometimes I do, 'guess."

"Wait 'til you're in third grade. It gets real 'noying then."

I laughed and forgot to tell her what grade I was in. It was like Mommy had said; I let her decide how big I was.

Boy I tell you Glyn can talk and talk and talk, but it was fun. I liked it - and her. Marnie turned on some music (so we couldn't hear the grown-ups or, maybe, so they couldn't hear us) and then Glyn told me all about the songs and we sang them.

After we had been driving for about ever, I noticed that Glyn had her dress up past the seat belt and her hand around the side of her swim suit and she was rubbing. I didn't know that girls did that, or could. When she saw me looking at that she whispered, "It feels good. Try it, JB."

I said, "I can't reach."

She giggled and said, "On yours, silly."

I did, but I couldn't really get my hand inside the shorts I was wearing, so I could just do it from outside. And she was right, but I knew that before, 'course. And we both did that the rest of the trip as we talked and joked around and sang.

The air in the car started to smell funny and, when I asked Marnie about it, she just grinned at me and said, "You'll find out why in a minute, sweetie." Right after that she pulled into a parking lot with big piles of sand all around it. Glyn tried to open the backdoor, but they don't open on Marnie's car so she climbed into the front and followed her mom, who had to grab her so she would run off. I waited for Marnie to come around and get me out, and when I stood up she took off my shirt and then started to pull my pants and underwear down. I grabbed a hold of them and said, "Not out here."

"Honey, lots of little boys go to the beach in their birthday suits and you did it last night. Otherwise you will have to swim in your short, and they will get all full of sand and salt and fell bad too. It's not a baby-thing, baby, just a little boy thing."

"Glyn isn't," I said.

"She might very soon if you set a good example for her. Try for ten minutes and if you are uncomfortable after that we can put the shorts or the panties back on. OK?" Then she whispered to me, "You said you would be a good, sweet little boy for me. And this way it will be easier for you to play with your pieces like you were on the drive."

I blushed about that, but I let her take my clothes off. Glyn and her mom had put some of the stuff into the wagon, and Glyn had taken her dress off. She just had a bikini bottom on, no top. She looked at me twice when I walked over but didn't say anything.

Marnie and Trisha, Glyn's mom, had arm load of stuff and Glyn and I had to pull the wagon. As we went ahead they kept telling us to slow down. But it was only Glyn that needed that. I was not real happy about not wearing nothing and was going as slow as she would let me.

When we got to the top of a sand dune. I saw it! Wow. I knew the ocean was big, but it was Huge! But we still couldn't get our mommies to hurry!

[Toni]

Chapter XVIII: JB'S Morning in the Sun

Marnie and Trisha made us walk way, way down he beach even though here were hardly any people at the beach already. We walked past a lady and a man, with two little boys dressed like me, but they were only about half as tall as Glyn. Finally just a little bit past them we stopped.

But they still very slowly spread out some of the towels on the sand and then set up the umbrella and the tent thing, which was sort of like a little cave. And then they started doing other things too!!

I said, "Can I go to the water now!!??"

Glyn said, "Yeah, come on! Please, Mama."

But they made us wait and get sun block all over. Marnie was putting the sun stuff all over me, she even made sure to get some inside my crack because that would be a real bad place to get burned she said, and she moved my hands from my pieces so she could put the stuff there to.

Glyn's mom was doing the same thing to her and, when she was getting the sun cream down inside Glyn's suit, she pushed the suit way down and said, "Glyn, why don't you leave your suit off since JB doesn't have one, and he will fell more comfortable."

"But, mom, I'm too old."

"You're not that big yet. Just try it for five minutes," Trisha said, "But I guess JB is just braver than you are." And Glyn didn't really fight her that hard.

While Glyn and I helped our mommies get the sun stuff on their backs, we decided to take the rafts out next, and we blew them up, and then her mom came with us.

Glyn could paddle those things around real fast. When we were just flouting around looking for jelly fish under the water (Glyn told me there were peanut butter fish, but I didn't believe that, I'm not really that little you know.), pee squirted out of her and almost hit my raft. I started laughing, but she just rolled around, shrugged and said, "It's a real big ocean you know."

When we got back to shallow water her mom got on one raft and Glyn and I tried to stay on the other. When I was on it once she said, "Your wiener is real small, JB, let me rub it and make it warm," but when she touched it her hands were freezing and I jumped off the raft and said, "Not with cold hands, geez!" and then as I was climbing back on the raft she said, "Boy, this ocean is getting bigger and bigger." And that was when I realized I was peeing right then and laughed.

At snack time Marnie let me have cookies that Glyn brought along. I drank out of a sports bottle rather than a sippy cup too. I sat on Marnie and drank mine real slow, with the top only half pulled up so I could keep it in my mouth the whole time.

More people were showing up at the beach. This lady started putting down towels next to us. These boys, that had been running beside the water and were a little bit bigger than Glyn, came over, and one boy said, "I don't wanta stay by naked kids, Aunt June."

The other said, "Really, mom, it's gross."

"Then don't look at them, don't make it a big deal. Just go on and play in the water. Not deep 'til I'm there," the lady said, and they left and went back to kicking the waves.

The lady said, "It's sad when they think they're so gown up. I wish they could be as free as your two are."

Marnie said, "They don't look so grown up to me, and I bet they would really mind being talked into taking the suits off really. Even little JB objected this morning. They think they have to do that."

The lady said, "That's why I picked this spot, you know?"

Glyn wanted to ask the two little kids beside us if we could help with their hole since we could swim right after snacks. I did worry we were never gonna find time to collect sea shells, with all the things we had still to do, but the hole sounded fun too.

The littler kid had a plug, pacifier, in his mouth the he never let go of, and I think even I could have picked him up. The bigger was still only up to my shoulders. But they were really good diggers.

I heard the new lady on the other side of Mommy and our stuff say, "You two just try it for five minutes to see if you like it. I can't believe you're scared to. You're the only kids under twelve on this beach wearing swim suits."

"We will be the only ones over nine not wearing them too, Mom. Come on, don't make us," a boys voice said, and I turned around to watch.

"It's only five minutes, boys. Now go on. I'm not counting the time you're curled up on the towels."

Both of the boys came and just stared at us while we were working hard on the hole (except I think they might have been watching us workers, especially our parts they didn't usually see.) Finally Glyn said to them, "Why don't you just come help instead of pretending we can't see you?"

"One of them, whose named turned out to be David, said, "Do you want to think we could build a canal and get the ocean to fill it up. We could make it a lake."

Glyn whispered to him, "I don't think the little kids want to, and they started this, but they don't have lunch stuff so we can do that when they leave. Let's get it real big while they're here." I think the big boys were impressed by her deviousness, and they started digging.

At first I sayed on the opposite side of the hole from them but they didn't tease even the littlest kid. So I thought they might not be too mean.

The other big boy, his name was Greg by the way, kept calling over to his mom to ask if it had been five minutes and she kept saying, "Not quite." Until even I laughed and told him that it must have been longer by now. He whispered to me, "I know, but I don't want my mom to know I don't care. Sssshhh,"

He started working on the hole right next to me, and he was being nice, but then he reached between my legs and grabbed my tube and pulled! I screamed and kicked my legs back and kicked him in the head, Then I turned around and hit him.

Marnie came over and picked me up. She took me to where our towels were and told me that was very bad, and asked why I had done it. I told her why. The other boy wasn't even hurt because I'm so small and had gone back to digging right away, but now his mother called to him. Marnie asked if I was OK and if it still hurt. I said it didn't, he hadn't got hold of my balls or sack, and I was OK. Marnie hugged me and kissed my head and said that that made the kick OK, but not the hitting, and she told me to sit in the tent that I called the cave for five minutes until I felt better. She didn't say it was a time out, but it felt like one like the group home people use to give almost all the time.

The boys mother told Greg that that was a mean and awful thing to do, and how would he feel if someone pulled on his like that and gave him a ten minute time out to think about it. He said he hadn't really meant to do it and could he talk to me to apologize and then he came into the cave and sat beside me.

I was crying as I sat in the cave, because this was the very first time I'd ever been in trouble with Marnie and I felt real bad. Greg sat next to me and he looked like he felt bad and he talked nice, and he thought I was crying because he had hurt me. He got a towel and put it on his lap and said, "Reach under and pull mine, but not too hard, please. And he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and I giggled even though I was still crying because he looked so funny. And I put my hand out and touched his wienie, and he gasped. but I did touch it hard, I had planned to, I just rubbed gently and he grinned at me.

It felt real weird. I mean his wiener felt sort of like mine did, only a little bit bigger round, but it felt weird touch another boys. And Greg spread the towel over me too, and he started rubbing mine too. He started to get a stiffy. told him, he said I was too, and I looked under the towel to see them, and we kept rubbing. Then he pulled his legs up by his head (he was nearly as good as that as I was) and pointed at is bottom hole and said, "Put a finger in there." When I did he moved my are back and forth so my finger went back and forth, and he did it to mine too. I guess, we were giggling to loud under the towel because Marnie said it was time for us to go back and play.

Greg and I went back to the to the hole. The bigger little boy suddenly yelled out, "Mama, Scot is going." and his mother came and grabbed the kid with the pacifier and put him on top of a plastic bag before the poo had dropped. We all watched as he did that, and I decided I should go because I needed to a little and I didn't want to have an emergency. And I didn't know where someone went to do that on the beach.

When I told Marnie she yelled to Glyn to bring her the little shovel. When she brougth the shovel she asked if Marnie was going to did cat holes.

"What's that?" I asked.

"We will show you, JB." Marnie said, and she got her litter bag and picked me up.

We went all the way over the top of a dune and Marnie ran down the other side. She had dug two holes and Marnie took the shovel from her and made them deeper. Then she told me to squat over the hole to go, and Glyn squatted over the one next to me. I felt a long piece come out and Glyn started grunting, but Marnie said, "This isn't a race. Just go naturally." and Glyn stopped. When my second piece fell, I peed and it shoot streight out and Glyn thought that was real funny. Marnie handed Glyn some damp wipes to clean up with but she did my bottom , but then she did make Glyn let her check, because people would see if see wasn't clean, and gave Glyn's bottom a wipe too.

Glyn and I had to wait while Marnie dug another hole and took her suit bottom off and got over it. I think she only peed, but she wiped anyway.

When we were almost to the top of the dune Marnie sent Glyn ahead and told her we would be there in a few minutes. Then she said to me, "This is a private spot, my little one, let's practice." And she took her top off and sat on the sand where she couldn't be seen from the beach. Before I started I told her I was sorry for making her mad, and she said she wasn't mad but wanted me to always be sweet and not hurt people unless it was very necessary to keep from being hurt, so the kick had been OK, but not the hitting. And then I pretended to nuzzle for five minutes and then she got a bottle of milk out of her bag and I finished that.

We shared and trade lunch stuff with Greg and his mom and David, and while we were eating Greg pulled me onto his lap and I sat there most of the time.

Then when lunch was over Glyn and her mom went over to the dune and I knew what they were doing. When she got back we had to lie down inside the cave. I rolled on my side facing her, and she asked if my bag was cold and started rubbing it. I put my hand right where her legs came together and rubbed her parts too. I let my finger slip inside her. It was all velvety and soft.

Chapter XIX: JB's Afternoon in the SUn

I heard Mommy say, "That was nice. That is my first good run in three days."

"Well, having a baby can cut into free time, Marnie. I wish I missed it when I didn't get to run," Trisha said.

Abby said, "I could baby sit for you, Coach Evens."

I still felt groggy, but I open my eyes. Someone had put a small towel over the top of my face, and I left it there.

"You live quite a ways away to come over for just a run, Ab," Mommy said.

"But sometime I could, please. He is so cute. Look he's suc-king his thumb now," Abby said.

"Someday maybe, Abby, and JB doesn't suc-k his thumb; he just pretends it has candy on it. I think the little scamp is awake and eavesdropping on us. Come on and get up, little one."

I pushed the towel off my face and grinned and then crawled over to Mommy and got into her lap.

"Have a good sleep, sweetie?" she asked, and I nodded as I lay in her arms even though I was still not all the way awake. She put a partly opened sports bottle into my mouth, and I swallowed some juice. Then I put my hands down on myself while I drank, and it was all sticky down there, and I knew why, but it didn't matter to me much right then.

Mommy said, "Can you hand me that box of baby wipes from the bag next to you mother, Abby." And then mommy started washing off my pieces while I held the bottle in my mouth.

Then suddenly I realized something! I jumped up and said "Mommy, where are my shorts? Hurry!" And I got around behind her and tried to hide.

Trisha and some new lady sitting next to her and Greg's mom and Abby and even Mommy laughed at me. Mommy pulled me back around to her lap and said, "What's the matter, JB?"

I rolled over to keep my front towards her and kept squirming. "Abby's seeing me naked!" I said. And all the ladies and Abby laughed again.

Mommy said, "Sweetheart, she has been here almost an hour, and you have been sleeping on your back that whole time. She even saw when you peed in you sleep, honey."

I blushed, and I moaned and said, "But she's in my grade!"

Abby said, "It's nothing to worry about, Jade. -- Jaden."

"JB, if I thought anyone would tease you or embarrass you, I wouldn't let them see you. You know that. Stop worrying, sweetheart."

I looked at Abby and said, "You won't tell anyone?"

She said, "Arrrggh, NO I won't, and if you don't stop asking me that all the time, Jade, I'll - I'll bite you." And she ran over with her mouth open, but then kissed my neck at the last minute, and I did smile and giggle and cuddled Mommy.

Abby said, "Can I take Jade to the water and to wash off."

Mommy said, "I'll go with you. You know I haven't been in the water all day and, JB, you've only been in once."

So Abby took my hand, I didn't mind that - That wasn't letting her treat me like a baby, was it? - and I looked around for everyone. Lot's more people had come since lunch. Glyn was working in our hole with David and a girl in a one one-piece swim suit. Greg and a man and a big boy were sliding on boards by the water.

Abby and I walked ahead of Mommy, who was bring a raft. Abby said, "Don't be embarrassed about wetting the bed either, Jade, my sister does that too. It only a problem because of all the sheets we have to wash, you know. At least today you didn't even have that problem."

I hadn't even thought about being embarrassed about that, I mean she already knew about that from volleyball practice, and everyone new I couldn't help it "Does she wear a di -- special pants." I asked Abby, and she said her sister wore pull-ups but they usually leaked.

When we got to the Greg and the man he was with came over to say hi. And the big boy ran over too. It was one of the boys that had hit me with the door last week! I hid behind Abby and told her that.

Abby said, "Sam, did you hit JB?" And the man glared at the boy

The big boy mumbled and said he didn't know my name and that it was an accident.

Mommy cought up with us and she picked me up and said, "Sam has already done his detention for that and, JB, Sam didn't do it on purpose. He is a good boy most of the time."

"He teased me too," I said.

"I was just joking, JB. I really am sorry. If you forgive me I'll let you use my skimboard," the boy said.

"I don't know how anyway," I said.

"It's easy and fun. I'll show ya'," Greg said.

"And he just learned too," the man said, "If Sam isn't nice to you from now on, JB, he will have to answer to me and, even worse, to Abby. So don't worry about him, OK."

I nodded, but wasn't sure. Mommy carried me the rest of the way to the water. Abby helped me get on the raft and pushed me around, and I asked if her brother was going to tell people stuff and she said he absolutely wouldn't; he knew all about secrets too.

Abby helped me get on to one of the rafts and showed me how to ride the waves. Once I got all the way to the beach. We did stuff like that for along time and then we watched the boy use the skimboards and I did that too. And then I told Mommy I had to poo, and Abby started following us and so did Greg, and I wondered if they were going to go too.

When we got the shovel from Glyn, she and the other girl, who was named Lee and was Abby's little sister came, and I said, "Wow, is this a big poo party, or what?" And everyone thought that was funny, but it was because Glyn and me and Lee all squated over holes at the same time, but Abby didn't and Greg just faced the other way to pee. Glyn didn't poo this time though. When Mommy was cleaning me up, Lee asked Abby it she would do her bottom for her. And Abby did.

Glyn said, "Lee, could you leave your suit off now. I'm tired of being the only girl without one."

Lee asked Abby if it was OK, and Abby said, "Leave it off and ask Shelly. I think she will let you if you want to."

We all ran to the new lady that was sitting by us, and she said it was OK. And Glyn said, "Yea, I was getting tired of looking at weiners all the time." And when people laughed she added, "Really, this morning it was like being surrounded by wiggly-worms everywhere." She said that even with grown-ups all around.

I found out latter that Shelly was Abby's and Lee's and Sam's step-mom, but that they all liked her.

Glyn and Lee and David had started building a castle in the middle of our hole, instead of making a lake in it, and I worked with them on that for a while. The only other real funny thing that happened was when we were looking for shells to decorate the castle with, Lee just peed right on the beach without even sitting down or anything, and I told everyone to be quiet when David started to say something about it.

We had an afternoon snake, and when I was leaning back on Mommy drinking the juice slowly, Lee climbed into her step-mom's lap and held her bottle in her mouth while Shelly stroked her hair. I thought she looked real, real cute doing that, and told her.

Then we had to pack up to go, but all the other people were staying. It seemed like even a longer walk back to the parking lot than it was this morning, but we made it. There was a shower thing right out in the open there and we all had to stand under it, but Mommy and Trisha did it in their suits.

Before we got in the car Mommy started to dress me, and she had these special thick pants for me to wear for the ride home, because it was a long ride and I hadn't peed in a long time. I didn't argue about it because no one would see them, but then she couldn't get my shorts buttoned over them, and I didn't want to ride the whole way in just pull-ups!

Glyn said we should trade and I could wear her dress! Mommy said that would be OK. And it was better than wearing just baby pants, although Mommy said they were little boy pants for long car trips too, and it was a pretty dress at least. While Glyn got her clothes on I practiced getting it to fly out by spinning around.

Our next stop was a burger place and it had a playground right inside it with tubes to crawl in and a big pit full of balls to jump into, and when we had finished eating our mommies let Glyn and me go into it.

As I was crawling though a tube, I heard this boy say, "Look that little girl is wearing pull ups!" But his sister said, "Shut up, Johnny, some kids have a hard time holding it and they could be on a long trip. Don't make fun and stop looking up girls dresses too."

Right after that I jumped into the ball pit and decided to stay there; wearing a dress did have its problems. Glyn and I rolled around in the pit and, when I needed to pee, I didn't stop, I just let it happen; after all it was a long car trip, right?

But that was a mistake, because Marnie and Trisha took us to go potty before we got back into the car, and Mommy learned that I had already gone. She just smiled about it and cleaned me up in the bathroom, but then I had to go all the way to the car with nothing on under my dress before we got another pull-up.

Mommy and Trish decided to put off the shopping again and go to Glyn's house and barrow some of her clothes for me to wear tomorrow. I wasn't that disappointed, but when was I ever going to get toys? Mommy promised tomorrow, positively.

On the ride back I asked Mommy if I could have a baby bottle, and Glyn used one too, but we hid them when ever there was a car next to ours.

Chapter X-X: JB's Sunday Morning

I woke up and slowly moved Mommy's arm so I could sit up. I sat cross legged on the bed; I had a hard time doing that because I was wearing a really long nightie that I had borrowed from Glyn and I had to get my legs pulled up inside it. I sat and watched Mommy; she looked real sweet and peaceful sleeping there.

She told me, if I woke up before seven thirty, not wake her unless my diaper was to wet to move, and it wasn't. I didn't think it was very wet at all. She had shown me how to start the TV and fixed it so the buttons would only go to the best channels for me. So I took my bears into the den. I saw me in the real long mirror, and smiled. The nightie was pale blue with ruffles at the bottom and real puffy sleeves and a lacey, old fashioned collar and a long ribbon at the neck. In the hall I looked at the door to my room but I didn't open it, because the painters were coming back to do the finishing touches today, and Mommy didn't want me to see it until they were all done.

I turned on the TV and the two best programs I could get were one about teenaged super heroes and one about a girl that could make rainbows and, since Mommy had buttons that meant I didn't have to get up to change channels, I watched them both. I lay on the floor next to my bears to watch and pretended to eat some candy on my thumb. I'll tell you, there are two bad things about diapers, and one of them is that it doesn't feel as good when you rub between your legs, but I did anyway and the nightie was so soft and smooth that I wasn't bad.

Last night after our bath, Glyn and I had played dress up for a long time - she had lots of toys, but the dress up stuff was her favorites - and I had dressed as a princess once with a long veil and that dress had been almost as soft but not quite. After Glyn got to nurse with her mom and I had practiced with Mommy, Glen said, "I'll be glad when Georgie gets back and I don't have to do that so much."

I said, "You don't like it?" and she told me that usually she didn't have to so many times a day because her brother helped her sometimes.

Trisha, her mom, said, "Georgie has almost stopped nuzzling, Glyn, only two or three times a week now. But when you are ready we can stop too."

"Yeah, but if I do," Glyn said, "it has to be forever. I can't do it just sometimes like Georgie gets to."

"Another unfair thing about being the youngest, huh Glynie? I'll try to think of something," Trisha said.

But I liked nuzzling and didn't mind doing it several times a day with Mommy at all.

Mommy had told me she would leave some juice ready for me in a certain place in the refrigerator, and I went to get it. I found it, and it was in a baby bottle, and I went to lie back down on the floor to drink it.

Last night when we got home from Glyn's we had called Nora, but we just got her machine. I said to the machine, "Please come to dinner tomorrow, It will be nice, and I love you, please come." And I hadn't planned to say the "I love you" part it just came out, and after we hung up Mommy said she hoped Nora would come a whole lot and she loved her too.

Later today we were going to have to go shopping. I borrowed some long blue jeans and a orange shirt from Glyn to wear so we could go bye school clothes. They didn't have any designs on them except some little flowers by the pockets that the shirt would hide. But then Mommy was going to change me - I mean just my pants, I'd didn't think I'd be wet or dirty or something - into some blue shorts that said "sweet" across the bottom and a white shirt with flower around the neck to wear to bye 'accessories' - that's like shoes and things - to wear for if Nora came tonight.

Then I had to take a dump - I mean poo, and I didn't know what to do, because I wasn't supposed to take my diaper off by my self and it was bad to pull it back in or hold it for a long time. So I just let it go into my diaper, and it didn't seem like a lot, but I didn't like that I had done that.

I rolled over onto my stomach so it wouldn't feel so squissy, but then I couldn't drink my bottle, so I rolled back over.

I thought about how I was supposed to feel about doing something like that or suc-king on a bottle, but I didn't feel that way at all. I seemed OK. Mommy didn't care and Nora hadn't used to care about some of it. And the things that Mommy - Marnie - Ms Evens did for me felt good to. I wasn't scared when it was like this. Or with Nora either.

We were going to bye toys today too. Mommy said she had bought two toy boxes, one for my room and one for the den, and I had to fill them up. And I had never had hardly any toys, but people would make fun of me for that too. I was going to get trucks, like some of the building trucks those two little boys had had at the beach. And some ball and games too. But I could also get some stuffed animals - I wanted a bunch - and some dress up dolls and even one of those dolls with storybooks about them like Glyn had if I wanted. Mommy had said I could.

But my wanting that made me feel bad again because people would say I should want any of it at all. And I was crying and had Holly Bear over my eyes to catch the tears.

The second show was almost over on both channels, and I got up to go watch Mommy. I put my head next to her, but didn't wake her up yet because it was only seven twenty-five yet, but still it made me fell better. When it was almost time I sat up, and as soon as the clock said seven thirty I kissed Mommy's cheek, but she didn't do anything, so I kissed her on the eye brow, and she swatted my hand like it was a fly, and I giggled. Then I whispered real quietly into her ear, "I love you, Mommy," and kissed her ear. She grinned but didn't move. I did it again, and she said "Once more and I'll be awake." So I did it once more, and she sprang up and grabbed me in a giant hug and kissed me all over my face.

Before she even changed me we practice nuzzled, and then we got ready for yet another extra-extra busy busy day.

[Toni]

Chapter X.XI: JB Gets Ready



Mommy and I got home from our shopping trip at four ten exactly; we weren't allowed to be there from ten to four so the painters could do there job.



We had tons and tons of stuff to bring inside. We got the groceries first and, while Mommy put those away, I got the other bags all by my self. I started with the toys, which Mommy told me to leave in the den. There were blocks and trucks and games, both for inside and outside, and some to play on the TV too (when we got that set-up). There was also a big sand box and my own swing set coming in a few days.



Then I got the toys we got this afternoon; which were a bunch of stuffed animals: a puppy, two kitties, a skunk I felt sorry for, a pink soft pig, a monkey, and more (I didn't want any more bears because Holly and Howie mighta got jealous); two dolls to dress up with a bunch of clothes for them and a pink car for them to ride in; one special doll to do the hair on; some dress-up clothes and costumes, like for princess and dancer and other things but not nearly as many as Glyn had; and a little house with some tiny dolls to live in it, which I thought was way cuter than the big ones; and some more games too.



Then I started on the clothes. This morning I we had got some a couple of long pants and some shirts (button up and T), and just a few pairs of unders because I told Mommy I liked the other kind lots better for when no one would know. And, the best thing, some shoes that had wheels built into them!



Then this afternoon we went to different stores and I got some new shoes sort of like my jade colored ones only red, and lots of shorts but mostly plain ones that I could wear to school (because Mommy and me didn't like the real long ones they mostly had in the boys departments) and a few more tops too. We also got a lot of unders there, some that were very shiny and pretty, and lots of socks there too. I got one pair of socks that were special; they were white, but had lacy red trim at the top just to wear tonight. And I got one pair of tights, white with pink and red hearts on bows all over them. And a pair of really, really shiny red shoes with straps instead of laces to wear tonight, and two other pairs of shoes that were like my jade colored ones but in red and white. Mommy said I would go back there and get more of the more prettier things another time too.



Mommy finished the groceries before I finished the other things. We put all my new clothes in her room because my furniture wouldn't be coming until tomorrow. When we put the last bags down I stuck my hands up by her shoulders so she would pick me up. Then I kissed her and said, "Mommy, are you rich?"



She laughed and said, "Honey, you don't need to worry about that. Yes, some of my great-grandfathers had lots more money then they needed, and I teach because I like it better than just wasting money all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm going to spoil you rotten; I'm just going to spoil you a little bit."



"I don't want to get spoiled, but I like my stuff. I never had some many clothes," I said and kissed her.



"Can we see the new paint now?" I asked.



"Nope. I'm going to make you wait so you don't go bad. And I want you to see it for the first time when Nora is here, if she comes. I think it would be fun for her."



I wanted to give Nora some fun too so I didn't fuss. Mommy took me through her office room to go potty. I peed a whole lot and pooped a little, so she let me take my shorts and panties off to go open some toys. I started with two trucks and rolled them around, then I decided to give the dress-up dolls rides, but when I asked Mommy to help me open the boxes, she said we need to start getting ready for tonight.



"It's not yet five and Nora isn't coming until six thirty!" I said.



"I know! We need to really hurry!" Mommy said back to me.



I got to take one of the bathtub dolls I got with me but Mommy wouldn't even give me time to bathe her. We used Mommy's big tub, but she didn't put and bubbles, she added some liquids and some crystal things that made the water smell real good instead. She started washing me as soon as we got in the tub, and then I did her back while she did her front, then she washed my hair real good, but she had on a shower cap to keep hers dry.



"The next thing, after we were all dry, was to dry my hair, and Momy used a blow dryer so I kept my fingers in my ears but they weren.t in the way. Then we brushed and brushed and teased and brushed it, and finally Mommy said it was done and she got the clip with a pink flower on it and but it in my hair before I could look. Wow! It was all curly and fluffy and pretty.



We went into the kitchen for the next part. I held one hand real still over a paper towel, Mommy clipped my finger nails and filed them (and told me to never ever bite them when they were too long again), and then Mommy painted each one of he nails with pink polish with sparkles in it.



When she only had the thumb left to go, she said, "I'm going to do something special with that one." Then she got some of the thumb candy and put on that thumb, and she said, "OK, sweetie, hold your fingers wide apart and eat the candy while I do the other hand, and don't rub your panties this time, because you will mess up the polish."



I said, "I don't have any panties on yet." And Mommy said, "OH, then you must have been pulling on something else."



I blushed and put my head down, and she kissed the top of it and said, "It's OK to do that at home, but not when your nails are wet, sweetie. Be careful with that hand, love."



So I kept the candy in my mouth and the fingers pointing up while she clipped, filed and polished the other ones (including the thumb.) Then I sat on the kitchen floor, not touching anything, while she chopped some stuff for dinner. Finally she said they were dry and we could go on to the next step. And while she did that she reminded me that Nora had never called to say she was coming, but we would do something else special if she didn't. But I didn't want to think about that.



I still had some candy to s-ck on, but I didn't have to hold my fingers out, while she spread powder all over me, and then did that with some creamy stuff all over too, even my face and I had to role over for her to do my bottom and back.



Then she slip the shiny new panties on me; they were white with ruffles around the legs and red ribbons beside the ruffles and around the top, tied with little bows. She put the tights on me (which pushed down the ruffles, which I didn't like.), and the put the socks over the tights but she didn't like it like that so she took off the socks. Then she stopped.



She said she didn't want me to get things messed up so I had to wait to put on the rest of my clothes until after she got dressed.



I went into the den and got my storybook doll, and decided she need to get dressed up to, so I changed her clothes. Then I decided I didn't like that outfit so I changed her again, and I had to go ask Mommy to tie the ribbon on the second outfit to get it right. When I got there Mommy had just put on her blouse and already had on long blue skirt that had a bottom that wasn't just a stright line but kind of zig-zaged.



Mommy got the things we had barrowed from Glyn. First she put a slip over my shoulders and tied it in back, then the pink rustle-y petticoat that was only below my waist, and was kind of stiff and scratchy but the other slip kept it off my skin. Then another white petticoat that had ruffles at the bottom, she had already told me those were supposed to show. Then the dress. It was a shiney soft pink without sleeves and the top was round and lined in red and silver tiny beads and came down real low, so Mommy had to push down on the slip some to hide it. Then it had a big bright ribbon for a belt, and the bottom part spread way out.



Mommy showed me two ways to sit down in it: the lady way, hold it smooth against your butt and then sit down on the back part and hold the front part down; or the little girl way, spread the back part out in back and sit your bottom down with the dress behind you, but you still had to make sure the front stayed flat unless you pulled your lets up inside it. I had to do it the little girl way because this was Glyns from two years ago and, even on me, it was real, real short.



Then she put my red strappy shoes on my feet and I got to go look in the mirror. I smiled and giggled; I didn't know I looked like that at all!



But Mommy wasn't happy she made me get back on the bed and took my shoes and tights off, and put the ankle socks with the lacy tops on my feet. She said it was because my legs were just too cute to hide.



Then I was all ready. I spun around three times then ran to look out of the window to see if Nora was here yet, but she wasn't. Mommy said it was only six o'clock so se was a long way from late. So I went and changed my doll again and Mommy worked in the kitchen. Then I looked out the window then I played with some of little dolls and set up there house. Then I looked out the window, and Mommy made me go and sit on the potty. And she told me again that Nora might not come and to calm down. Then I looked out the window and brushed a dolls hair. Then I looked out the window, and Mommy made me go back into her bedroom and lie on here bed. She took off my shoes and I said, "Back into the tights again?"



But she said "No, honey, I want to put a pull-up on you just in case."



"No!" I said, "I don't want to be a baby for Nora and these are special panties just for tonight too." But Mommy said she was worried about accidents in all my special clothes because I was so anxious, and that once I had peed, maybe, Nora would be the one to help me with the special panties.



Then she let me sit on her lap, and we both looked out the window, and it was six twenty-five I had just felt my first tear, and Mommy, for about the fifth time, had said "Grown-ups some times have traffic or other delays and come a little late," when I saw Nora walking towards the door.
