The next morning Max and I talked about where to next, and when in terms of travel.
“Well Florida or Southern Texas is about the only place that is warm right now. Or could fly again, maybe Hawaii or Mexico too.” I said.
“Well we just need to be able to get back home for Christmas, my folks don’t want me to miss that” Max said
“What if we drive somewhere and the weather is too bad to make it back home?” I said, trying to think everything out. “We only got maybe 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas, it will take at least 3 to 4 days to get back. We can’t go back through Gatlinburg, the road over the mountain is closed.”
“Any objections to just waiting until after Christmas?” Max asked. “Then we can leave and not have to be home for anything.”
He had a good point there. We talked about how far after Christmas we wanted to wait, if there were other things around here we wanted to do as well. Maybe zoo lights or other Christmas-y things
Just after 5:00 pm Max’s phone rang. It was his parents.
“Yeah we got home about noon Monday morning, yeah in bed like he knows he should be. I don’t see that being a problem, I’m sure we can do that. I’ll ask him. Uh huh, sounds fun, are you sure you want to do that? They will love it, yes he will certainly too. Can you be away for that long? I see, well yeah he can handle it. I’ll see if he wants to do that or not and let you know, but it probably will be a yes. Bye, love you too.” Was all I heard on the conversation
“Well, I think we may have our answer of where too next.” Max said
I was intrigued to say the least as he proposed the plans. The plan was that his parents were going to drive down to Florida a few days prior to Christmas, and they would celebrate Christmas at Disney. Then spend about 5 days at the parks before driving back home. They also wanted us to come up there for Dinner one night the next week if possible.
“Us?” I asked
“Yes US” He said “both of us.”
“So what about your brothers and sister, I thought they were not going to tell them?” I said
“Well I guess my brother Michael overheard my parents talking and let it slip that I had a ‘special friend’, and my parents had to explain that I was not working in the forest, that I help my special friend on his travels, shooting videos, taking photos and driving around a big RV, and take care of him like a babysitter.”
“So they know I am a toddler and wear diapers and stuff?” I asked, not believing the turn of events. After all Max said his parents were ultra conservative.
“Yeah I guess my mom had to sit each of them down and explain it to them, obviously she did not tell my 5 year old sister everything, but she confirmed what Michael, who is 18 heard and told Josh who is 15, and my 11 year old brothers that you wear diapers and choose to be like a little kid when you want to. So the cat is out of the bag there” He said
“So dinner with your folks Friday night, and Saturday with my folks and then you want to hit the road say by the end of next week?” I asked
“Yeah sounds like a plan, we can try to weave our way down and avoid the mountains if possible, so no Smokies, and no West Virginia, just straight down 75 should be good.” He said
“Hey, let’s check out the RV and see how the new beds look before we start planning on taking off.” I said, as I wanted to be sure everything that was on my list was taken care of before we started heading out.
I grabbed the keys to the RV and went outside and unlocked it. The RV shop had a checklist of what all was done and a paid invoice.
- Change oil
- Sanitize water tank
- Fill propane
- Install new bed bases
- Grease slides
- Service generator
- New bedroom door
I checked my charging panel and the batteries were all charged up, propane was full, freshwater full, holding tanks empty too. I then opened the new bedroom divider/door that I had installed and was in for another surprise. The bed that was to be mine (I guess) had crib rails all around it.
“There you go, your own mobile nursery” Max said smiling. “I may have called and changed the build order for the new beds”
“Thank you, I love it!! It’s what I’ve wanted for years!”
“I could tell that you tried something with your bed at the house. I’m guessing you never had the skill or the money to get something as good as this?”
“No, money or skill.” I said
“Well with money you don’t need skill” He replied. He was right
That Saturday afternoon we got ready and drove to his parent’s house, in the RV, after all we were only doing dinner and I really didn’t want to be driving back home that night, not knowing how late we would be. We parked at the grocery store and drove the Fiat to his parents house where his mom had made a nice dinner for everybody. I had made sure to dress as grown up as I could, even though I was still diapered.
“So Jason, Max tells me you travel around in that RV and make videos, and that is how you make money?” His dad said
“Yeah, that and some investments I have that pay an awesome return” I said, which I wasn’t lying about, the investments I made have paid back and then some.
“What do you have stock in diapers?” Max’s brother Riley snuck into the conversation, trying to be a smartass
“Yeah actually, one of them is Proctor and Gamble, so I have stock in Pampers, among other things” I said to get a laugh from his parents, but not the intended reaction he had hoped for, so he went for broke.
“Mom said you wear diapers and …..” He said before his mom shot him a look that said ‘SHUT UP NOW!’ and that was the end of that conversation too
After dinner I thanked his mother and father for having us, and they sent the kids off to the basement to play. So now it was just Max, myself and his mom and dad at the table.
“So, we got this trip here in a few weeks coming up, and Max said you two were also thinking about meeting us there. You driving down when we are?” He asked
“No, I think we will probably head down end of next week, take our time driving. We tend to only to a maximum of 200-300 miles a day, it is a lot of work to drive that much, plus we like to stop and see the sites and also avoid traffic” I said
“We’re staying at a condo that has 4 bedrooms, had a buddy who had a timeshare and I bought out this year’s vacation time from him. Dang Disney is expensive.”
“It can be, I have a pass that covers all the parks nationwide, but the best is the park hopper tickets. I also have one for universal studios too, because that is 3 parks. You and the kids will have fun no matter what you do. Some tips though, bring comfortable shoes, if you need to get new shoes for the trip, get them now and break them in. Water bottles for everybody, even this time of year it is going to be warm. Wear sunscreen, nothing ruins the fun like sunburn. Go early and stay late. You can always find places to sit, shows to see where you can just sit, and more.” I told them.
“We’re going to head down to probably Key West for a week, soak up some rays, warm up from the trip that we had to Iceland and then by the time you all get into the area we will have worked our way back up to Orlando.” I said
“So before I spill the beans, do the younger ones know about the vacation?” Max asked
“Not yet, we’re gonna tell them tomorrow morning, skip church and your mom is wanting to go over to Ft. Wayne to the mall and get some clothes for vacation”
“OK You kids, time to get ready for bed, get up here and start getting ready so you can say goodnight before your brother has to leave” His mom yelled through the open basement door.
“Max I will get Maggie ready, can you make sure Riley and David get ready, remember what we talked about.” She said
“Sure mom, we’ll see how that all goes” He said as he followed Riley and David to their room, and she took Maggie to her room.
Riley and David were supposedly twins, but not identical ones. Max said they were almost 11 but they looked more like 8 years old by their size.
“So you really dress like a toddler most of the time?” Max’s dad asked
“Most of the time, it’s not like I run around in just a t-shirt and diaper, I usually just have a printed onsie on and overalls or shortalls or shorts on. Along with sandals or light up shoes. I try to gauge if it is safe to be dressed like that or not, ya know safety and all” I said
“I can’t pretend to understand what you do or what Max sees in it but if it makes you both happy and you’re not hurting yourself or anybody else, who cares! You seem like a well put together young man, and I know Max has a head on his shoulders too, just be safe out there” He said
“No problem, I make our safety a top priority, I’d rather skip someplace or dress grownup than to get into a situation. I also carry in the RV and I am guessing Max will be as well, judging by what is in the safe at my house.” I said
“Yeah that was one of his graduation presents. Never know when you will need that” He said
At this point Max’s mom returned with Maggie, and Michael and Josh, the 18 and 15 year old followed, Max came out followed by Riley and David. Both looked like they had been crying, then I looked down and could tell that under their PJ’s they looked like they were diapered.
“This sucks” Riley said
“Whatever” David retorted
“That’s what ya get, both of you” Max said. “Lemme explain. See David sometimes wets the bed, Riley does not. So Riley thought it would be funny and poured water on David to make it look like he wet himself, and the next night David put Riley’s hand in warm water and made him pee himself.”
“Now we normally just have David wear those pull up things, but since they both decided to make extra work, they are grounded for the weekend and punished with wearing actual tape on diapers. If they keep acting up I’ll send them back to school on Tuesday in diapers.” His mom jumped in.
“Oh OK then” I said
“NO WAY” they both yelled in unison. Terrified at what Junior High would be like in diapers.
“I figure a weekend of having to be in diapers should pretty much fix them. Now say goodnight and good bye to Max and Jason and then bedtime for you all, we’re going shopping tomorrow and have a surprise tomorrow too, so I want not a peep out of anybody”. His mom said as the two boys said goodbye and goodnight, along with Maggie, Josh and Michael.
“I hope that don’t backfire on you, to be honest. That’s how I got into diapers, I was a bedwetter until I was their age and then just continued enough to keep the diapers, and now look at me” I said
“I guess there could be worse things kids could get into” His mom said, obviously she meant to say something like ‘I sure the hell hope not’ but probably didn’t want to say anything that might apply to me.
We soon after left and headed back to where the RV was parked. I spent the first of oh so many nights in my new crib on the road. I awoke around 9:30 am to Max waking up and firing up the generator so he could start the coffee maker. I laid there for a moment and then sat up in my crib. The side rails were just barely above my head as I was sitting there. I soon realized, I was being ignored
“Daddy……. Daddy” I softly said
“I’m coming buddy, I’m coming” He said as he shuffled into the bedroom.
Now I could have very easily unlatched the rail and got out, I just didn’t. I was put there for a reason and that is where I was supposed to stay until I was released.
“Did you sleep good last night?” He asked
“Um hum” I said, already popping my binky back in my mouth.
“Let’s get some breakfast, then get you changed” He said
All of the sudden there was a knock at the side of the RV. I glanced at the TV and it was Max’s dad. I ran to the back and put on my track pants and came back out to greet him.
“Good morning” we both said
“Hope I didn’t wake you, I brought you a half-dozen donuts from the store.” He said
“No, we were up, just starting the coffee, wanna cup?”
“Sure, let’s see this fancy RV” He said
“So how did Riley and David do with their grounding?” Max asked
“Not good, Riley didn’t think your mom was serious. He must have thought she would forget. He got up this morning wanting to get in the bathroom. Michael told them that your mother said they were in diapers. Your mother said that he was really upset about it, but yet she carried through. Last night was a wet night for David, so it was not a problem for him. They both were unhappy about having to wear them today when they go shopping” He said
“Well hopefully this teaches them a lesson” Max said
I just kept my mouth shut as I sat there in my soggy diaper.
“Well let me give the 5-cent tour.” I said as I showed him the RV, which really isn’t that much. When we got to the back, I just flung open the bedroom door, let him have a quick look and then shut it.
“So I’m assuming Max is the one who sleeps in the crib then.” He said with a smirk on his face.
“Yes or else he’d get out and leave me at night” I said
“Well it’s getting busy, so I best get in there and work. Drive safe, stay in touch, and be a good boy Jason ” He said as he reached the door and exited.
We weren’t alone for long when this white van pulled up right in front of the RV and parked. UGH! I hate when somebody parks in front of the RV, especially when I have a car on the back. Max could see my frustration and that I was about to go out there and ask them to move when he said. “Just my mom and sibs”
Knock knock Ding Dong. Came as his mom knocked and then one of the twins hit the doorbell
“Come in” I said as I opened the door to see Max’s mom, and brothers and sister. I could tell the twins were pre-occupied with keeping their shirts pulled down. They all came in, which trust me 7 people in the RV is crowded house. Michael and Josh decided to go into the store instead, so we were a little less crowded in there.
“So how’s it going, what brings you to our humble abode?” I asked
“Nothing much, just thought we would stop by before heading to the mall in Ft Wayne and before you all headed out”
“We’re going to Disney World” Maggie said
“I heard! You’re gonna have so much fun there. Max and I are going to meet you guys there too, doesn’t that sound fun?” I said, getting down to her level.
By now Riley and David were sitting on the sofa bored. I was noticing that my diaper was nearing capacity and excused myself to the bedroom to change. It was strange, I had not changed my own diaper often for the past month or so.
I came back out and threw my soggy diaper in the trash can, which was really my expensive diaper pail I used to have at home.
“Feel better?” Was all Max’s mom said.
“Yeah, sorry I could not wait any longer” I said as I washed my hands. By now the twins were engrossed in their Nintendo switch. I had noticed that Riley’s shirt had ridden up and his diaper was peeking above the waistband of his pants.
“Ya know if you’re going to keep them in diapers much you should invest in some onesies, then they don’t have to worry about their diapers showing above their jeans.” When I said that Riley quickly realized I had seen his diaper, and quickly pulled his shirt down.
“I know a place in Ft. Wayne that has diapers and such for people like me, they have stock of onesies too.” I said directed to his mom
“Guys if you are constantly checking to see if your diaper is showing and pulling your shirt down, people will notice you more.” I said directed to the twins, Maggie was oblivious as she was playing with the cat, which he just loved the attention.
“I better not get laughed at because of this” Riley said, looking at David
“You started it by pouring water on me when I slept” David said
“You made me pee my bed” Riley said
“You both made extra work for me!!” Their mother said, “and still extra work! We talked about you two growing up now that you’re almost 12, but maybe you are no more than 2 again, you sure do act like it!”
About then Riley started to look uncomfortable and started to fidget. He was just about to say something when his mom noticed.
“You might as well get used to using it, because you’re in them till Tuesday morning or when I say your punishment is over.” She said
“But MOM, I gotta poop” he whined
“Oh well, too bad, best to do it here and you can get changed, than when we’re driving or at the mall and have to wait to be changed.” She said. I made a mental note not to mess with her.
I leaned close to Riley and whispered “If you sit on your heels it will be easier”. His eyes said it all ‘I don’t want to’
We continued talking about the upcoming vacation for them and the fun stuff at Disney and the things they were going to do. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and see Riley’s face go red and heard a grunt.
“Eeeww gross Riley, did you actually poop yourself” David said
“Shut up, I couldn’t hold it” he said tears beginning to form.
“It’s ok, I’ll get you changed. David go get my backpack from the van please. Can I use your bedroom guys?” She asked
“Sure, there’s supplies in there and a changing mat on the bed” Max said
David came back with a nondescript backpack like I use for a diaper bag, and she ushered Riley to the back. As she slid open the accordion door that separates the bedroom from the kitchen area she just said “Oh My!” And shut the door.
Max and I both looked at each other and giggled.
Soon enough the sound of ripping diaper tapes was heard, then some words followed by two sharp ‘snaps’ and some stifled crying. About 4 minutes later Riley emerged from the bedroom and stomped over to the sofa and sat down. Followed by Max’s mom carrying a rolled up diaper.
“How do I work this thing?” She asked talking about the diaper pail. To which I informed her to just lift the lid and stuff it down into it, and with a snap of the door it was done.
In the meantime David had decided that he too better get a poop out before they left, although he was a silent but deadly pooper. He gladly and happily went with his mom to the bedroom, got changed without incident and came back out smiling.
“All better?” I asked
“Yep, and you got a cool bedroom and bed Jason” David said
“Yeah a freaking freak baby bedroom” Riley quipped, to which Maria, Max’s mom shot him a death ray stare.
“Since I left two smelly diapers in your trash the least we can do is offer to throw your trash out in the dumpster” Maria said
To which I obliged and prepared to remove the bag. I have what amounts to a giant diaper genie, it is made by a company called Jannibel, and it is technically called an adult diaper disposal. Basically the liner is a continuous trashbag liner. So I opened the door, grabbed the knotted end and pulled the bag out, cut and tied it and tied a new knot in what was left in the diaper pail and we were ready for more trash.
“Well isn’t that unique” Maria said
“Yeah it is kinda handy, it basically makes custom sized trash bags. For big stuff I just lift up on the area with the flaps and can put bigger stuff in there, but you’d be amazed what fits through the round hole in the top” I said
She handed the bag of trash to Riley and told him to put it in the trash dumpster next to the store. As they were walking out Maria said “Nice bedroom. Take care and be good”
“Well that was an interesting morning, let’s go before it get’s more interesting.” Max said
I agreed, I grabbed the checklist, got the car hooked up, made sure all compartments were closed and locked, jacks up, slides in, and we were on our way, it was about noon at this point. We had two hours before we would make it back to my house, and then we both wanted to get cleaned up before meeting my parents.
We got back to my house and I hopped in the shower, then got a quick shave to keep that boyish look all around. Re-diapered and dressed while Max was getting cleaned up. I had a nice onsie with Dinosaurs, pair of elastic waist jeans and my white sneakers.
“Well don’t you just look cute” Max said
“Yes I do” I said and rightly so. In case I never mentioned it, I am what you would call short. I am maybe 5 foot 4 inches at best. Max is like 6 foot 3. So there is almost a foot difference. I almost need pedal extenders on the RV to drive it. He almost needs to sit in the backseat of the Fiat to drive it, So even dressed as an adult I still look like a 16 year old, dressed as I was right there, an overgrown 10year old.
“Are you ready to go little boy. Got your diaper bag packed?” Max asked
“Yep and yep” I replied
“Let me check your bag” He said as he looked through the bag and then took it into my bedroom and came back proclaiming it all packed up.
We drove to my parents house and walked right in, I could smell right away what my mom was cooking, something Italian. I could smell the meat sauce, so it was either spaghetti, lasagna or stuffed shells.
My mom turned around and about laughed at my appearance. “Well aren’t you just precious. You must be Max, Jason has told us so much about you.”
“Thank you, and this is what you get when you let him dress himself, I had nothing to do with it” He said
“We have lasagna, garlic bread and salad” She said
“Yummy. Where’s dad?” I asked
“Right here, was just working on a project in my wood shop.” Dad said
“Oh what you working on?” I asked
“Oh just some things for customers at the craft fair, spice racks and shit” He said. “Let’s eat”
I helped set the table and brought the salad fixings to the table. Mom had us all sit down while she brought the lasagna over to the table and set it down before going back to the kitchen and grabbed something else. “Here we go” she said as she stood behind me and put a bib on me.
“This is embarrassing when you do it” I said
“Cool, I forgot to get his out of the diaper bag” Max said
“Well we don’t want to get anything on them nice clothes, do we” She said
We all ate dinner, made some small talk about heading down to Florida. I invited my parents to join us, just fly down for Christmas. Mom and Dad said they would think about it, and if not, maybe we could do something for New Years Eve or when we get back. I was kind of bummed out that they were not jumping at the chance to fly to Florida for the holidays but it was ok. We agreed that we would definitely do something as soon as we got back home.
That night Max got me ready for bed as we talked about my parents not wanting to join us, and maybe it just wasn’t a good time for them. Max and I talked about the future, what we want to do, where to head to next, where we see ourselves in the relationship going. Pretty much everything was up in the air at this point. We were going to try to leave next Saturday morning and head south, taking our time, hoping for no 400 mile days, more like 200, maybe 250 miles in a day.
