“Diapers!?,” he wailed, “I’m too old for diapers! Can’t I wear the other pants instead? Please don’t diaper me!”
“Tommy, those training pants are for small ‘accidents’ during the day. They aren’t meant for a baby that’s not potty-trained,” his mother said resolutely.
Thomas lay on his back, kicking his legs impotently in the air in an effort to bar her way to his bottom.
“Tommy, be still or Mommy will spank,” his mother said firmly, “Tomorrow morning you’ll be a two-year-old again. I won’t have you peeing all over my clean mattress! Don’t you remember having an ‘accident’ in your pants this afternoon? You’re wearing diapers tonight and that’s final! Do you understand me?”
