Brian backed away but there was no escape. Sue was blocking the way to the dining room and the adults were before him. He just kept shaking his head. “Brian, you’re just having too many accidents. Now either we try this or we have to go back to diapies for a bit,” Mommy warned
He didn’t know why, but that idea actually scared him more. He didn’t want to be a baby! Being a toddler was more than bad enough. “No, please! No diapees!” he wailed, feeling on the verge of a temper-tantrum.
Mommy stepped close and pulled her grown boy into a cuddle. “Okay, no diapers,” she agreed.
Brian let out a sigh of relief. Mommy knew he wasn’t a dumb little baby. But just as he felt relieved cool hands slipped under the bottom of his red t-shirt.
