We both moaned that we neither wanted to,

nor needed to wear nappies for bed,

but mum was adamant we wore them regardless.

She reinforced this by showing us a massive pink nappy,

“If you don’t want to wear your pull-ups,

I’ll put you in one of these.” she said, before explaining that, unlike our pull-up nappies,

this one isn’t disposable.

“Which means it needs to be washed in the morning to make sure it’s clean and dry ready for tomorrow night.” she said.

“…and believe me, boys,

I won’t be washing it for you.”

In light of that, the pull-up nappies didn’t seem so bad.

Once we had a clean pair of rubbers and our over-knickers and nighties back on, mum said,

“Oh look at the time…

it’s almost twenty minutes past your bedtime.”

before shuffling us out of the bathroom.

It felt so weird having the light flowing nightie waft around my legs.

It was nice and warm after being on the radiator though.
