Ted had just gotten back from lunch when his phone rang.
“This is Ted.”
“Hi honey, it’s me.”
Ted had been expecting this call. In fact, he was kind of looking forward to it. He chuckled to himself and asked his wife in a cocky voice.
“So who won our little bet?”
There was a pause on the other end of the line, followed by what sounded like an audible sigh of defeat.
“I guess you remembered about that.”
Ted let out a laugh, he knew he had been right.
“Oh I certainly do remember Sal, and it sure sounds like somebody lost. Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you.”
Much to Ted’s surprise, he heard his wife laughing on the other end.
“Nice try buster,” “but you lost! Your butt is mine. Oh, you are so easily fooled, Ted. You really shouldn’t be so cocky. But we know how to take care of that now don’t we?”
“You are kidding right?” Ted asked in disbelief. “She didn’t really agree to it?”
“Oh, she did. I just got back from the store, and when I get off this phone I will be putting the finishing touches on the changing table I set up in Julia’s room.”
Ted knew his wife was serious, but he still couldn’t believe it. The whole idea of a week or nothing and all the other rules had been his idea. And he had come up with it mainly because he figured that Julia would never agree to it.
“Wait a minute. Did you explain all the rules to her? I mean you did tell her that she…”
shirley cut him off.
“I told her one week, 24 hours a day, no bathrooms allowed, and that only we can change her. I also added a new one. I told her that she has to get used to us checking to see if she needs to be changed.”
“I can’t believe it.” Ted said in disbelief.
“Well, you will believe it when you get home. And as soon as we get a chance to be alone, I will make sure you remember what happens when you lose a bet like that too.”
Ted cringed. Then he spoke dejectedly,
“OK, OK, you win this time. But I still can’t believe that she agreed to it.”
“Well Ted, it’s like I said. I think this is something she has really wanted to try for a long time. And I told her very clearly, now or never. She was a bit unsure, more than a bit to tell you the truth. But I think her curiosity got her. Anyway, it’s a done deal. I already bought the diapers, so she’s not changing her mind now.”
“Yeah, I guess so. I still can’t believe it though. Well, at least it is only for a week and not for a few years. I guess I can handle changing diapers for a week.”
Julia giggled, “You always hated changing diapers. For some reason I expect your work schedule to get a bit longer this week. I have a feeling I am going to be doing most of the changing.”
Ted, like his daughter earlier that day, wondered if Shirley really could read his mind sometimes.
“Well, um, we’ll see about that,” Ted said. “I have to get back to work, but I should be home around 5 or 6.”
“We’ll see you then honey,” Shirley said.
When Julia came home after school, it had completely slipped her mind that today was any different from any other Friday afternoon. She had been thinking about her speech most of the day, and wanted to tell her mother about how well it had gone. She came into the kitchen and saw her mother there.
“Hi mother.”
“Hello Julia how did everything go at school? Did your speech go well?”
“Surprisingly well actually.” Julia started “I was kind of nervous at first, but once I got going and stuff, I relaxed and did fine. Mrs. Fisher even said I did a good job. I think I might get an A.”
“That’s wonderful Julia. I knew you were a good public speaker.”
Julia felt a little proud about how well everything had gone, and hearing her mother say that made her feel even better. She set her backpack down on the counter and started walking towards the fridge to get a snack. Before she got there though her mother spoke up.
“Hey, before you get something to eat, we need to take care of something.”
Julia was still thinking about her speech, and she couldn’t imagine what her mother was talking about. She made it to the fridge and as she opened the door she said quickly,
“What do we have to take care of mother?”
Her mother didn’t answer, but instead stood up and walked up to the fridge and closed the door. Then she glanced down at her daughter with a knowing look. When they made eye contact, it all came back to Julia in a heartbeat. She had totally forgotten about their conversation that morning until that very instant. shirley spoke slowly and softly.
“I think somebody needs to be wearing a diaper.”
Julia’s heart started pounding and her stomach did a flip. It wasn’t that she had forgotten about it, so much as she had chosen not to think about it. She found it a bit hard to know what to say.
“Oh.” Julia managed to say. “Um, yeah I guess so. Are we really going to start that now?”
“I said as soon as you got home we would. Don’t you remember?”
“Well, yeah, now that you say so Mother. I guess with my speech and all, it had kind of slipped my mind.”
“Well that’s ok. But let’s get this taken care of. You can have a snack after I get you changed.”
The shock of remembering about it had worn off, and Julia actually started to get a bit excited. She was finally going to do it. After all these yeahrs of wondering and dreaming, she was finally going to know. She turned to her mother.
“So, how exactly is this going to work?” Julia asked uncertainly, “I mean where are we going to do this?”
“I set everything up in your room. Lets head in there and I will tell you how we are going to do this.”
With that, Julia and her mother headed off to her room. When Julia opened the door, she was quite surprised to see a large piece of furniture in her room that had not been there before.
“What’s that mother?”
“That’s your changing table honey. That is where we’ll be changing your diapers.”
Julia took a look at her new “changing table”. It looked a bit like a large white desk, except that the top of it was padded, and instead of drawers it had two shelves underneath that ran about two thirds of its length. Julia glanced at the shelves. On the lower shelf, a large pile of white diapers lay neatly stacked on top of each other. On the other shelf, Julia noticed a large box of baby wipes, a bottle of baby powder and a few other bottles that she didn’t recognize. In the open area where the shelves ended, Julia spotted a large trash can that she recognized as her old diaper pail. Julia walked up closer to look at the top of the table. A small mattress sat on top. I light pink plastic sheet with little white sheep covered the mattress. The plastic sheet crinkled when Julia touched it.
“Why don’t you hop up there, and we can get started.” shirley said.
Julia looked back at her mother, but didn’t move. The feel of the plastic sheet on her hand and the crinkling sound it had made, brought out a feeling in Julia that she didn’t understand. She felt really excited, and really scared at the same time. She didn’t move for a second, until her mother spoke up again.
“Come on, hop up.”
Julia turned back to the table and saw that she would indeed have to lift herself onto the top of the table. It was certainly not very high, but a little jump was required. So she put her hands on the front edge, jumped, twisted and sat down on the padded top. As she sat, the plastic sheet made a loud crinkling noise. Julia looked down at her feet and saw that they were a good 12 inches off the ground. She shifted her weight around a bit to get comfortable. The more she moved, the move the sheet crinkled. Julia felt a bit surprised at how much she liked that noise.
shirley took a look at her daughter sitting on top of her changing table, and felt a bit silly. How long ago was it that Julia was last on this thing, 12 years? Or was it more? Regardless, the purpose then was the same as the purpose now.
“Ok honey,” shirley started slowly, “since this is the first time I guess I should explain a few things to you. I mean, when you were little I certainly never bothered to tell you about how I went about changing you, but now that you are older I think it is a good idea. First of all, since you are going to be in diapers all the time, we need to do our best to make sure you don’t get a diaper rash. Now, in the future, when you actually are being changed, the first thing we will have to do after we get your old diaper off is clean off your, um, how should I say this, your diaper area OK? That is what these baby wipes are for.”
shirley reached under the table and pulled out the box of wipes that Julia had seen. She showed the box to Julia and than put them back under the table.
“Since this is the first time though, we don’t need those. But I want you to know sweetie, that it is really important that we clean you off well. Now, when you were a baby this was certainly not a big deal, but now that you are older, well, it might be a bit uncomfortable for you at first. I mean we are going to be touching you in some places that we haven’t touched in a long time, and I am guessing that is might be a bit awkward at first. Just remember though, even though it might feel a tad weird, but I can assure you that it is a lot better than a diaper rash.” shirley placed a lot of emphasis on the word “a lot better”. She paused and looked at her daughter to see if she was following her.
Julia had until now done her best to not think about this type of stuff. The thought of her mother touching her “diaper area” made her feel a bit uneasy. But, that was the price she had to pay. And while she certainly didn’t recall ever having a diaper rash, she guessed it was not something she ever wanted. ‘Besides’ she thought to her self, ‘it’s mother and it’s only for a few seconds’. She looked at her mother and nodded for her to continue.
“Alright,” shirley went on, “after the baby wipes comes the nursery cream. I always used a special type of Vaseline on you, and I was happy to see it is still sold.” shirley held up a jar of Vaseline Nursery Jelly. Julia saw a cute little pink bear on the label. “This is stuff is really important for preventing rashes too. Now again, I am going to have to put this stuff in some awkward places, but it is really important.”
Julia looked at her mother and nodded again.
“Ok then. Last thing before we get your diaper on, is a little bit of baby power on your bottom. After that, we just fasten the tapes and away you go.”
shirley paused for a brief second and tried to think if she left anything out. She mumbled to herself and then looked at her daughter again.
“So, is that all clear Julia? Do you have any questions?”
Julia tried to think, but it was hard. Her mind was racing, and her stomach doing flips. She couldn’t believe that this was really about to happen. She also couldn’t think of any questions.
shirley continued to look at her daughter, waiting for a question. After a moment she asked.
“No questions then?”
Julia felt so nervous and excited at the same time that she was almost shaking. This was it. She was afraid that her voice wouldn’t work, so she just shook her head.
“Well, ok then, lets get started. Go ahead and lie down for me.”
Julia pased and took a deep breath. Then she swung her legs onto the table and slid across the mattress so that her head was at the very end. As she moved she again noticed how strangely comforting that crinkling sound of the plastic sheet sounded. Julia noticed that her feet hung off the end of the table a bit, so she bent her knees and put her feet on the edge.
shirley saw that her daughter looked ready. She came over to the side of the table and started to unbutton Julia’s jeans. Julia started to help her mother, but shirley pushed her hands out of the way and said “Just lie still”. After she had the zipper down, she started working the jeans down Julia’s hips. But with Julia laying on her back, shirley had a hard time getting them past Julia’s rear end. She tried to think if this happened the last time she did this, and then she remembered what to do. She grabbed Julia’s two legs and lifted them in the air until Julia’s rear end came up off the mattress. Then with her free hand she pulled the jeans down to Julia’s thighs. From there it was easy.
After the pants were off shirley placed them in the hamper. She came back and on seeing her daughter’s panties she remembered one last thing.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” shirley said as she started taking down Julia’s panties. She repeated the same process as before, lifting Julia’s legs up. “Since you wont be needing these,” she held up the panties she had just removed from her daughter, “or any others for the next week, I went ahead and took all of them out of your drawer. I don’t want you getting confused about what you are supposed to be wearing.” she said playfully and winked at Julia. “Next Friday I will give them back, ok?”
Julia looked up at her mother. Despite all that, she didn’t feel too terribly uncomfortable. When her mother had lifted her up by the legs, her modesty seemed to have kind of disappeared. In fact all this was starting to seem strangely familiar. As far as the underwear went, who cared if her mother had it or not, she certainly wasn’t going to be using it.
“Yeah mother that’s fine.” She finally said.
“Ok. Now, just another minute or so.” shirley said as she reached under the table and grabbed the first of many diapers. She looked for the end with the tapes and opened that end of the diaper. With the diaper in one hand she grabbed Julia’s legs with the other and slid the diaper underneath Julia’s rear end. Then she grabbed the nursery cream and opened the top. shirley took a deep breath and put on her business face. It had been a long time since she had done this, and Julia had been a lot smaller then. She got some cream on her fingers and started coating Julia’s inner thigh. She repeated this process with the other thigh and then moved onto Julias bottom. She was just about to put some cream on Julia’s bottom when her daughter kind of let out a little yelp and squirmed away. shirley stopped and looked at her daughter.
“Sorry mother, it’s just that it really tickles. I couldn’t help it.” Julia said softly.
shirley thought about how she should handle this. She had an idea.
“It tickles huh? Well how about this.” And she quickly started tickling Julias tummy. Julia started laughing and squirming around on the table. shirley stopped and looked at Julia and said, “Like I said this is probably going to be a bit uncomfortable. At least at first. But lets try not to take this too seriously, OK? If it tickles, just laugh. I am sure you will get used to it over the next few days.”
“OK mother.”
shirley went back to work and finished with the nursery cream on the rest of Julia’s diaper area. Then she lifted her daughters’ legs up and quickly powdered her bottom.
“Ok Julia, we are almost done. I just have to get your diaper on now.”
shirley grabbed the front of the diaper and pulled it up between Julia’s legs. She spread out the front and happily noticed that it seemed to fit just fine. She pulled the front to the right and held it in place with one hand. With her other she grabbed the back of the diaper and pulled one of the tapes. The tape made a loud tearing noise as it opened. shirley pulled the tape and fastened it to the front of the diaper. Then she pulled the front to the left side, opened the other tape, pulled the tape around to the front and stuck it in place. She then ran her fingers just inside the leg openings of the diaper to make sure the leg gatherers were facing out. She looked down at her daughter’s diaper and felt a bit surprised at how it looked. shirley had expected her daughter to look really strange in a diaper, but to her surprise, Julia looked much the same now as the last time she had diapered her. The diaper seemed to fit well.
“So how is that? Does it seem too tight or anything?”
Julia didn’t want to say it, but it was almost impossible to describe how good it felt. The diaper felt pretty thick in between her legs. When she put her legs together, she could just barely make her thighs touch. Julia felt like somebody was giving her a hug, except that it never stopped. It felt great.
“No mother, it seems fine” she managed to say.
“Ok then. You can go ahead and jump down and get a snack if you want now.”
Julia sat up on the changing table. The diaper felt even better sitting up. She looked at her mother and asked “Are you going to put my pants back on too, or should I do that?”
shirley very quickly responded, “Oh, you don’t need to put your pants back on honey. You’ll be fine like that. You used to hate wearing anything over your diaper as a kid.”
Julia was a bit surprised. It seemed a bit strange to not have any pants on. After all, her shirt barely came down to the top of her diaper. Looking down in fact, she noticed that it didn’t even come that far.
“mother, I am not a baby now. I would like to put my pants back on!” Julia said somewhat defensively.
“Ha. Yeah, you aren’t a baby now I guess. But you sure look like one.” shirley said with a laugh. “But sorry, no pants for now.” She added firmly. “I need to get used to the fact that you are back in diapers, and I might forget it if I don’t see them. Plus it makes it a lot easier for me to check your diaper if you don’t have anything over it. Besides, nobody is going to see you. Don’t worry about it. Now come on, let’s get something to eat. I am hungry too.”
Julia realized that her mother was quite serious. ‘Whatever, nobody is around’ Julia thought. With that she hopped off the changing table and started walking to the kitchen. After about 5 steps she stopped. ‘What is that noise?’ she thought. It sounded like the changing table kind of. But it had stopped. She started off for the kitchen again and the noise came back. It seemed really loud to be coming from the table. Then it hit her. ‘Oh, duh, that must be me!’ As Julia kept walking she confirmed that the noise she heard was indeed coming from her diapers. It was the plastic crinkling and rustling as she walked. She headed to the kitchen to meet up with her mother and get some lunch. Her little diaper adventure was just beginning.
