Her older brother and father were walking out of the bathroom. Her brother, Luke, seemed angry about something. Though, to Kaya’s eyes, that was nothing new. He always had a stick up his backside over something. He was buttoning up his pants, under which there appeared to be a pair of plastic panties. With a grunt in her direction he trudged down the stairs towards the kitchen for breakfast.
“Um… Daddy… why’s he so upset?” Kaya asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing serious.” her father explained, “Today was his first day of toilet training. I told him not to expect results right away. But he’s just a bit peeved nothing at all happened even though he sat on the pot for almost five minutes.”
“So… he’s upset because he didn’t use the potty?” she asked, failing to suppress a giggle. Her father laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Now, listen young lady. I don’t want you making fun of him at all. Understood? It’s only four short years before you’re the one sitting on that toilet for the first time. You sure won’t want someone making fun of you just because you can’t master it right away.”
As Kaya went into the bathroom she contemplated what she had just witnessed. Her eighteen year old jerk of a brother was only just now being potty trained? She wasn’t expected to use a toilet for another four years? This was sounding familiar. But she was having trouble at the moment figuring out exactly why.
Kaya was further confused during breakfast. This whole diaper/potty training thing had almost had her thinking she and her brother would be treated like toddlers. But, just like when her mother had left her to dress herself, things went almost exactly as normal. If not for the fact that she and Luke were both wearing diapers it would be just like every other Saturday morning. Homemade breakfast, discussions of the days’ plans. Diapers didn’t even come up until her mother mentioned to her children that they should both remember to make sure their diaper bags were fully packed.
Kaya went up to her room after breakfast and did just that. She checked her bag, which was a small duffle-looking bag under her changing table. Inside were several extra diapers, as well as wipes, lotion, etc. Everything a girl on the go would need if she were to wet herself out in public. Kaya pretty much figured her mom would make sure she took this with her.
