Andy was so shocked to actually receive diapers for Hanukah that he hadn’t given much thought to the logistics of wearing them and school was no exception. In the stories he read, strange things seemed to happen when kids wore diapers to school. Either they were changed by the school nurse or someone of the opposite sex started babying them or it suddenly emerged that their best friend wore diapers, too. Andy couldn’t see any of that happening, but what he could see, if anyone found out, was teasing and lots of it. His social position was already precarious. Being caught wearing diapers would only compound that.
“Hey Dad,” he said on Sunday night. “Is it OK if I don’t wear diapers to school?”
“They’re your diapers,” his father told him. “But I certainly wouldn’t.”
“I don’t think I will.”
