Ron wondered idly what Deedee’s younger sister, Kimberly, would think if she saw her older sister. Kimberly had been her confidant for years and knew about Deedee’s desire to be regressed. On several occasions, she had even offered to “babysit” her older sister, but Deedee had been too self-conscious about being dressed in diapers in front of her younger sister to accept her offer. The ten plus years age difference between the two of them meant Deedee could remember clearly when Kimberly was in diapers and she was Kimberly’s babysitter. Allowing Kimberly to actively participate in her fantasies offended Deedee’s sense of propriety. It gave Deedee the uncomfortable feeling that she was somehow contributing to the delinquency of a minor even though she knew perfectly well that Kimberly was an adult. As Kimberly’s older sister, Deedee’s conservative nature wouldn’t let her seriously consider letting Kimberly play mommy to her and change her diapers. If there was a change in Deedee’s life that made diapering a practical necessity, Deedee was morally prepared to accept her sister’s offer to help. But the thought of having her younger sister kneeling on the carpet at her side to change her wet diaper for fun was too incongruous to bear sober thought.
Kimberly on the other hand, was eager for the chance to exchange roles with Deedee and play the dominant older sister to a baby Dee. She had believed since she was a small child that her sister’s cautious temperament was merely Deedee’s way of manipulating her into accepting her pronouncements. She was as capable of making rational decisions as the next person. Although she hadn’t had a child of her own, Kimberly was absolutely positive that she could take care of any problems that cropped up. Having spent the early years of her life trying to free herself from Deedee’s shadow, Kimberly knew that bold assertiveness would carry her farther than any pretense of being demur. Being Deedee’s babysitter would prove to her sister once and for all that she was a responsible adult.
