When the commercial broke Howard’s rapt spell of television-induced hypnosis, he looked around to find himself sharing the floor with a carpet full of drooling, babbling babies. The baby seated beside him began to cry, causing the infant’s mother to get up from the couch and kneel down beside him and check his diaper. Sure enough, the baby needed a diaper change. Howard watched in horrified fascination as the woman nonchalantly stripped the baby of his diaper and began cleaning the baby’s nether regions in full view of everyone in the room. After she had placed a fresh disposable diaper under the baby’s bottom, the woman turned to Howard and smiled as she said jokingly, “Would you like me to put a dydee on you, Sweetie? I have plenty of extra diapers in the bag.”
Howard sat in stunned silence at the woman’s humiliating suggestion.
