I knew what I’d done. I had tucked my shirt into the back of my diaper and everyone in the dining room was laughing because much of the diaper I was wearing had been exposed for all to see.

Horrified, I grabbed my coat and things from Mr. Rawnwe and ran out of the restaurant. With tears welling up in my eyes I was forced to stop at the curb and wait for John and Mom to come out cause Stacks had taken our car earlier. Thankfully she wasn’t around when I came out.

As we waited for the car, Mom helped me put my coat on. “Alvin,” she said trying to comfort me, “It’s okay; it’s not the end of the world. We’ve all had embarrassing things happen to us at one time or another.”
