I was so caught up reliving that night that I hadn’t noticed Joey was awake.

“Morning!” he groaned and yawned.

“Ah man Joey you scared the life out of me!” I exclaimed in a whispered shout.

I lifted myself up onto one elbow so that I was facing him.

“Sorry, thought you were already awake.” He said.

“I was, but… ah, never mind!” I said followed by, “Good morning.”

“Sounds like it is still raining.” He said rubbing at his eyes however before I could say anything he groaned loudly and said, “Ah man!” and then shouted at the top of his lungs, “MOOOOOOOMMMMM, I LEAKED AGAIN!”

I couldn’t believe he’d shouted it out like that.

“Wait—But—No—Why—You…” I stammered unable to form a complete thought.

“What?” he said with an innocent shrug.

I guess I got over the initial shock because I was finally able to speak.

“Why did you scream like that?” I said feeling betrayed.

He shrugged again. “Because I need changed.”

“But you didn’t need to scream for the entire world to hear!” I said.

“Alright you two!” Beth said as she walked into the room, “You two aren’t fighting are you?”

But before I could respond she added, “Oh my, now that’s what I call a truly red face.”

Well that little comment didn’t help my embarrassment in the least and when she acted like she was going to attempt to change my diaper? Well, let me tell you something, there wasn’t anything in this world that was going to make me lie there while some lady I hadn’t known before yesterday tried to take a diaper off me! Oh no way, no how! You can be sure I wasn’t standing… err… I mean sitting… err… lying for that! I jumped to my feet with the intention of running out of that room so fast all they would see of me was a blur.

Now my getaway would have worked had I not overlooked one small, seeming insignificant fact which was that my left leg was completely asleep from the hip down.
