They then would be given ‘toys.’ To the laughter of the onlookers, he’d swat at or kick colorful objects hanging over him, shake rattles, play with blocks. What they didn’t know was that each toy was weighted. This made everything he did seem laughably awkward and week while straining him.

The entire session normally ended with a game, again for the amusement of the paying crowed. The favorite was called ‘pat tag.’ The babies would be gathered on hands and legs on mats. They would then crawl around, the object being for whoever was ‘it’ to pat the others on the diaper. By this point, a combination of diet, the motion of exercise, and sometimes the deliberate actions of the trainers resulted in plenty of filled diaper, making the experience all the worse for the babies and better for the onlookers.
