Peace In The House
By Karen Singer
Kate is a single mother with a seventeen year old son and a fifteen year
old daughter who constantly fight like cats and dogs. But Kate has taken
a new job that requires her to be away from the house for most of the day,
leaving the two kids alone with each other. Since her son is the oldest,
she puts him in charge. But... who's really the one in charge?
Written in 2003, this was the second story I ever wrote. While not my
personal favorite, this one for some reason has always been a big fan
favorite. I am presenting it here in its entirety. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1: No Pain, No Gain
Kate Thompson was just glad to have a job! But better than that, this one
actually paid pretty well. She had been unemployed for only a week before
she found this opportunity, and as a single parent with two teenagers to
take care of, the extra money was really needed.
There were problems of course. The new job meant that she would have to
work a long day shift, but since John was now seventeen and Sally was
fifteen, she figured that they were old enough that she could trust them
on their own until she got home. The two kids frequently fought like cats
and dogs and sometimes Kate felt like her biggest job in life was just
keeping peace in the house. John and Sally would just have to learn to
put up with each other, something she had always wished for, but had never
happened.
School had just let out for the summer that week and her new schedule
would mean that she could not be there for them during the day from about
8:00 in the morning to 6:00 at night. The kids would just have to take
care of themselves until she could return in the evening. She thought
they were certainly old enough to learn.
John was a surly boy. He often kept to himself and lately he didn't seem
to want anything to do with being part of the family. He just wanted to
be by himself. He was getting to be somewhat verbally abusive towards
everyone and was bordering on being a real problem. Kate figured it was a
part of his age and the friends he must be hanging around with.
Sally on the other hand was outgoing and energetic. She had something of
a temper and more than a little bit of a mean streak in her, but overall,
she was a joy. Where John hadn't taken an interest in any after-school
activities, Sally had started early with dance classes and then later had
gotten heavily into the martial arts - something she had gotten very good
at in the past few years. Kate thought that John could have learned a lot
from some martial arts training, especially discipline, but he was always
too full of himself to ever try.
On her first day of work, Kate fed John and Sally some breakfast before
she left, then she sat down to talk to them. "John, I'm putting you in
charge and ..."
"What!" said Sally angrily. "Why should he be in charge? I don't need
anybody telling me what to do!"
"Cause I'm older," taunted John "and ..."
"Stop that!" yelled Kate. "I'm tired of you two not getting along and I
don't want to hear any more arguing! And John, wipe that silly smirk off
your face! You two are going to have to learn to get along together and
handle things while I'm at work. Now no more arguing! Is that
understood?"
"Yes Mom," they both answered reluctantly.
With that, Kate kissed them both goodbye and headed out the door to work
while John and Sally just sat there and glared at each other.
"Just remember," John smirked to Sally "I'm in charge."
"Get lost!" Sally returned and headed for her room.
It was shortly after 12:30 when John came into the den and interrupted
Sally while she was watching TV. "I'm getting hungry, he said. "Make me
something to eat."
"What?" said Sally. "Make yourself something. I'm watching TV."
"Mom put me in charge," said John, "so I'm telling you to make me
something to eat!"
"Well if you're supposed to be in charge," Sally replied, "then you should
be taking care of me. Make me something to eat!"
"No," shouted John. "I'm not going to take care of you. You're supposed
to do what I tell you to!"
"No way!" shouted Sally back as she got up and stood staring him eye to
eye. "I'm not going to do whatever you tell me to do. I don't need
anybody telling me what to do! Especially not some loser wimp like you!"
"I am not a wimp!" shouted John.
"Yes you are!" shouted Sally.
"Am not!" shouted John.
"Are too!" shouted back Sally.
Sally knew how to push John's buttons and her temper was really up now.
But this time, she had questioned John's first bit of authority that he
had ever had, and he was suddenly pushed over the edge. In his rage, he
took a swing right at his sister's face. It was the first time he had
ever done that... and it would be the last time he ever tried. The punch
never even came close. Sally's martial arts training kicked in and John
suddenly found himself going head over heels, coming down hard on his
back.
Sally's temper and training were both working together now and she wasn't
about to stop there. Before John knew it, he found himself the recipient
of blow after blow as she screamed and shouted at him. "Don't you ever
try that again!" she yelled. I'll kill you if you do!"
John was on the floor, crying and blubbering like a baby. "I'm sorry," he
kept saying over and over again. "I'm sorry. Please stop!"
Sally finally put one more minor kick into his back and then stood back
watching her brother. She had beaten him up with ease. Of course she had
known that she could. He really was a wimp! But now that she had done
it, she figured he had to know that she was a lot stronger than he was and
that she wasn't anyone he could ever push around again.
She didn't like John being in charge, and now, she would fix that. But
first, just a little more button pushing. "Say it!" she commanded.
John was still crying a little. His ego had just suffered a major blow
and he wasn't handling it very well. "Say what?" he blubbered.
"That you're a wimp!" she replied.
"No!" said John, still crying.
Sally wasn't going to take no for an answer though. Instantly, she was on
top of him, twisting his arm into a very painful position.
John simply couldn't take the pain. "Owww!" he screamed. "Stop! Stop!"
he cried pitifully.
"Say it!" Sally commanded again.
By this time, John would do anything to stop the pain and get her off of
him. "I'm a wimp," he finally blubbered.
"Say it so I can hear it!" Sally commanded.
"I'm a wimp." John said louder.
"And are you going to give me any more orders?" She asked.
"No," said John defeated, his twisted arm still hurting. "Please get off
of me."
But Sally wasn't quite through with him yet. She twisted his arm a little
further and said, "Mom said that you were in charge, but now tell me which
one of us is really the boss around here?"
"You are," said John screaming from the additional pain.
"And are you going to do everything I tell you to do?" Sally asked.
"Yes, yes. Please stop!" cried John.
"Then get in there and make us some lunch," said Sally forcefully as she
pushed him away from her. "And it better be good!"
John got up slowly from the carpet and made his way crying into the
kitchen, all the time keeping as much distance as possible between himself
and Sally.
Sally sat down on the couch, no longer interested in the TV. She had to
take stock of what had just happened. She decided quickly that she was
going to have to find a way to keep John from telling Mom what she had
just done. That was going to be very important. She also decided that
now that John was "under her thumb," she was going to have to find a way
to keep him there. With that thought, her inventive mind went into
overdrive.
John moped around the kitchen for a while trying to figure out what to
fix. His mom had said there was some left over ham from last night's
dinner in the refrigerator that could be used to make sandwiches, so he
eventually got busy fixing some ham and cheese sandwiches for them both.
All the while he worked, his resentment toward Sally grew and grew. "She
can't push me around like that!" he thought. "I'll get back at her. I'll
tell Mom. She'll fix her. She can't give me orders like that. I'll hit
her so hard she won't know what happened!" Now that Sally was no longer
in the room, his courage was returning, but he finished fixing their lunch
anyway.
When it was ready, he called Sally into the kitchen - none too politely.
Sally immediately noticed that his old attitude was returning. As soon as
she got into the kitchen she warned him, "You better watch how you talk to
me, or you'll get it again!"
"I'll talk to you anyway I want!" John shot back. "You can't tell me what
to do!" John's brain obviously wasn't functioning too well.
Sally was shocked. She had just given him the beating of his life and he
was already arguing with her. He was also making her angry again.
"You're acting like a spoiled brat!" she yelled at him. "Do you need me
to give you a good spanking like a baby? Something that will make you
remember who's really in charge here?"
"You wouldn't dare!" John retorted. "You just got lucky a little while
ago. You try anything again and I'll make you wish you were never born!"
Sally had all she could take. She couldn't believe that John was actually
standing up to her again. She knew she had to put a stop to that, fast.
She crossed the floor in a flash. John cringed back a little but the only
thing that was really on his mind was defending himself. He really had no
chance though. Sally landed a hard kick right into his balls that dropped
him immediately to his knees in pain. She came around behind him and
jerked his right arm up behind him again and actually lifted him up to his
tip-toes like that.
"Oww! Stop! Don't! You're breaking my arm." John shouted.
"You just don't learn do you," Sally said. "Now who's in charge here?"
she asked him.
"You are," John replied, nearly crying again from the intense pain.
"And are you going to give me any more trouble?" Sally asked.
"No," John said as his pain made him really start crying again.
"I think you deserve that spanking I warned you about," said Sally.
"Maybe it will help you to remember that you do whatever I tell you to,
and that you need to speak politely to me - always! Now, take your pants
off!"
"What?" John cried in terror.
"I said take your pants off so I can give you a spanking," Sally said
again.
"No! Don't!" John cried. But that's all he was able to say as Sally
immediately twisted his arm a bit more and John went crazy with pain.
"Okay, okay!" he cried.
"Well, I'm waiting," Sally said, easing the strain on his arm just a
little.
"I can't, you're twisting my arm," John said.
"I've only got your one arm," replied Sally. "You still have another
one."
John had to use only his left arm to undo his belt, unfasten the button on
his jeans and then try to slide them down his legs. All the while crying
like a baby.
Sally got tired of waiting on him and as soon as he had lowered his pants,
she grabbed the waistband of his underwear and ripped them down too. Then
she grabbed his other arm and twisted it behind his back with the first
one and marched him over toward the chairs. Sally sat down, and then
kicked John's legs out from under him so that he landed right in her lap.
While she held both of his arms up behind him with her left hand, Sally
gave John the spanking of his life with her right hand. John was already
crying, and now he just screamed in pain and humiliation.
John's backside was bright red by the time that Sally finally figured he
had had enough. As soon as she let him up, John reached to pull up his
pants, but Sally stopped him. "Did I say you could pull your pants up?"
Sally asked him.
"No," John blubbered.
"You're crying like a baby. Maybe that's how I should treat you, like a
baby. Go stand in the corner baby John," she ordered. "And leave your
pants around your ankles till I tell you otherwise."
John shuffled over to the corner of the kitchen and stood there facing the
corner and crying.
"All the way into the corner!" Sally ordered. "I want to see your nose
touching the wall!" she added.
The angry tone of her voice left John no choice but to put his face as far
into the corner as he could. And that's how he stayed while Sally ate her
lunch in silence.
When Sally had finished eating, she looked at him standing in the corner.
"You really are nothing but a big wimpy baby," she said. "I can't believe
how pathetic you are. You can't even take that simple little spanking I
gave you. Maybe we should put you back into diapers to show Mom what you
really are."
That evoked another round of muffled sobbing from John who was still
keeping his nose pressed into the corner.
"What a baby!" Sally said disgustedly. With that, she got up and went
over to the counter and started working. John could hear the blender
going, but had no idea what she was doing. Finally, Sally said to John,
"Are you ready to come out of the corner yet?"
"Yes" was all he replied.
"Are you sorry for the way you spoke to me?" Sally asked next.
"Yes" John answered.
"Are you going to do what I tell you to from now on?" Sally asked.
"Yes" John answered again.
"Then you can come out of the corner now," she finally told him.
John turned around slowly. His eyes were bloodshot and his whole face was
wet from tears. He started to reach for his pants, but a sharp "Leave
them!" from Sally stopped him.
"Come over here and I'll feed you your lunch like the baby you are!" Sally
said to him.
John shuffled over to the table and tried to sit down, but as soon as he
did so, his sore backside forced him to stand right up again.
Sally laughed. "Sit down!" she ordered.
John immediately sat back down and tried to get comfortable, but his sore
backside was on fire. Sally set a bowl of something on the table in front
of him, then pulled up a chair next to him.
"What's that?" John asked.
"Your lunch" Sally told him, "I pureed your sandwich into baby food."
"Oh, please no," said John.
"Shut up and open your mouth!" Sally ordered as she brought a spoonful of
the mashed up sandwich to his mouth. John actually started to lift his
hands to stop her, but she just said, "Don't!" and that was all it took.
Sally spoon-fed John the entire bowl. His occasional crying at being
treated and humiliated like this caused some of the food to get all over
his face. "Just like a baby!" said Sally.
When he was finished, Sally wiped off his face then told him to clean up
the kitchen. "And take those pants off" she said. "You don't need them
right now. Maybe it'll help remind you just who wears the pants around
here now" she added.
She hadn't thought about what she had just said before it came out. But
she kind of liked the symbolism of that. She thought about it some more
as she watched him doing the dishes before she left him to watch some more
TV.
When John finished in the kitchen, he walked into the den. His eyes were
still red from crying and he was trying to hold his hands in front of him
to preserve a little bit of modesty. Sally almost laughed. "May I please
put my pants back on now?" he asked politely for a change.
"No" said Sally.
"But I can't go around half naked all day" John said.
Sally looked at him. "I'll think about it. In the meantime, sit down on
the floor and watch TV while I figure out what to do with you. And stop
trying to cover yourself up!"
John bashfully moved his hands from in front of himself and sat down on
the floor like he was told as watched TV.
Sally sat watching her brother for a while then suddenly came to a
conclusion. "Darn it all!" she suddenly exclaimed. "I suppose your
right. You can't stay like that all the time. Stay right there!" She
got up and hurried out of the room.
She came back a few minutes later and threw something at John. "Put that
on!" she commanded.
John unfolded the bit of material she had thrown at him and was shocked to
see that it was one of her short skirts.
"But ..." John started.
"No buts!" said Sally. "Put it on or go naked. The choice is yours."
John reluctantly got up and pulled the elastic waist of the skirt into
place.
It was obvious just looking at him how embarrassed he was and Sally
laughed. "It looks real cute on you," she finally said. Now go to your
room for a while, I'm tired of looking at you. And leave that skirt on!"
she added.
With that, John gladly ran out of the den up to his bedroom and closed the
door behind him. When he got to his room, he laid down on the bed feeling
sorry for himself for about an hour. Then he got busy with something
else.
In the meantime, Sally was trying to figure out just how she was going to
keep John under her thumb and at the same time not have him tell their
mother what she had done to him. She finally decided to threaten him with
another severe spanking and maybe actually spank him a little again until
he agreed not to tell.
With that plan in mind, she went up to his room and just barged in. What
she saw surprised her completely. John was smoking a marijuana joint and
was obviously a little high. That was the last thing that she had been
prepared to see. There was a large zip-lock bag full of the stuff on the
bed beside him. "John! What are you doing?" she gasped in shock.
John had been surprised by Sally's sudden appearance and hadn't thought
anyone would ever find out. He was about to grab the bag to hide it but
Sally got to it first. As he tried to reach to take it from her, she just
pushed him back onto the bed. At least this time, John was smart enough
to not try to fight with her. "What are you going to do?" he asked her.
"I don't know yet," Sally answered truthfully. "I'll just have to think
about it. I suggest you stay here in your room for the rest of the day
till Mom gets home, or I say otherwise." Sally went out to think.
Now Sally had a bigger problem. What she had done to John earlier was bad
and she knew it was wrong. Even though she had been planning to keep it a
secret from her mother so that John wouldn't bother her anymore, she had
still felt very guilty about it. She and her mother had always shared a
very close bond together, something that Sally really didn't want to
break. But now that she had discovered John's drugs, that kind of put a
different light on everything. Sally knew in the end that she would have
to tell her mother the truth about everything. Being honest was the only
way she could ever stop feeling the guilt she now felt and continue to
enjoy the warm loving relationship she had always had with her mother.
Sally stayed quietly at home for the rest of the day. What she had to
tell her mother never left her mind. She knew her mother would be
devastated by it, but it had to be told. Curiously, or maybe not, John
never did come down from his room. He stayed there all day. A little bit
before her mother was due home, Sally went into the kitchen to start
preparing dinner. It was a small peace offering of sorts, but it also
gave her something to do as the appointed time for her talk with her
mother grew closer.
Kate arrived home right around 6:00 like she said she would. She hurried
in the back door and was about to call out to announce that she was home
when she saw Sally sitting quietly at the kitchen table. She could smell
dinner cooking and that made her glad, but it was obvious from looking at
Sally that there was something wrong. "Sally, what's wrong? Where's
John?" she asked suddenly very concerned.
"John's in his room," Sally said, then continued. "Mom, I need to talk to
you."
"What's wrong Sweetie?" Kate asked, still concerned and very puzzled as
she sat down facing her daughter.
Sally took a big breath then started. "Mom, I have something to show you
and I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Kate asked again.
"I found this in John's room this afternoon," Sally said as she brought
the plastic bag up from her lap and set it on the table in front of her
mother.
Kate suddenly felt like the whole world was crashing in on her. She
recognized what was in the bag immediately. She had never wanted to
believe that one of her kids could ever be involved with drugs, but now,
here was Sally showing her the evidence. "Oh God no!" said Kate finally
as she started to get up to go up to John's room.
"Mom, please sit down and listen to the rest of what I want to tell you"
Sally said.
Kate was having enough trouble with the knowledge of John's drug use, and
now Sally was telling her there was more? She sat back down staring at
her daughter in a daze. She was in shock and wasn't sure what she should
do.
Sally had rehearsed the words over and over again in her head all
afternoon, but actually saying them was one of the hardest things she had
ever done. "Mom, John and I had another fight today when he tried to
order me around, only this time he tried to punch me in the face. I
blocked him and then beat him up a little and made him make me a sandwich
for lunch."
Hearing that Sally had beat up John suddenly made Kate very concerned
about John's health, but she sat silently waiting for Sally to finish.
"When I went in to eat it, he was really rude to me again, and I'm afraid
I got mad at him and gave him a spanking."
"You gave him a spanking?" Kate echoed her daughter's words as she stared
in astonishment at her daughter.
"I did," Sally continued, "then I made him stand in the corner with his
pants still down because he had been acting like such a baby. Later,
after he ate his lunch, I made him take his pants off and put on one of my
skirts to help him remember who really wears the pants around here now.
Then I sent him to his room. Later, when I went up to talk to him, he was
smoking one of those. I grabbed the bag and left him there."
"Did you hit him again?" Kate asked her.
"No Mom, I just left him. I was so shocked when I found these that I
couldn't think to do anything else. He's been up there all afternoon
since."
Kate just stared at her daughter and then at the drugs in front of her.
She started to get up again, but Sally stopped her. "Mom, I'm really
sorry for what I did. I know how wrong it was and I know I deserve
whatever punishment you decide for me, but please, I have a special
request."
"What is it?" was all Kate could think to ask.
"Mom, please... put me in charge when you leave. I can handle John but I
really can't stand for him to be ordering me around."
When it was obvious that Sally didn't have any more to say, Kate just got
up, grabbed the bag of marijuana joints, and headed upstairs to John's
room. She didn't knock, she just walked in. John was on his bed reading
a magazine. Kate was surprised to see he was still wearing Sally's skirt.
John just looked at her without saying anything. He knew he was in major
trouble. "I'm sorry Mom," was all he could say.
Kate stared at him for a moment, her anger, disappointment, and
frustration growing by the second. Suddenly, she just ran out of the
room, slamming the door closed behind her.
She ran straight into the bathroom and dumped the drugs into the toilet
and flushed it. There were tears streaming down her face. When the
toilet filled up again, she flushed it again. All she could think about
was that she wanted those drugs as far away from her house as possible.
As she watched the toilet filling again, she called out to Sally to come
to her. "Sally, when this fills up again, I want you to flush it again.
And I want you to stand here and do it over and over and over again until
I tell you to stop!" Kate was crying. She knew she was being crazy about
what she just told Sally to do, but she didn't care.
Then she went back into John's room. She was crying openly now, but her
anger and frustration were driving her forward. She went over to John and
slapped him on the face. She knew she shouldn't have done that and deep
down inside she was sorry for it, but she was really angry. "What did you
think you were doing?" she screamed. "Don't you know how bad those things
are? I thought I raised you better than that! You don't know how
disappointed I am in you." She was crying and the words were just coming
out. She didn't know what she was saying and it really didn't matter. It
was her emotions that were getting across, and that's what really counted.
Finally, a coherent thought crossed her mind and she asked him. "Where
did you get the money to buy all that stuff? I know those things cost a
lot and you didn't have that much. Where did the money come from?"
When John was slow to answer, she hit him again and yelled, "Tell me!"
John was crying too. He had good reason. He had never seen anyone so
angry before in his life.
"I sold Sally's earrings," he said at last through his tears.
"You what?" said Kate. "What earrings?"
"Her diamond earrings," John replied.
There was a very loud scream from the hallway behind them as Sally ran to
her room to check.
"You sold Sally's diamond earrings that your father had given her? She
cherished them!"
"Well, she hardly ever wore them and I didn't think she'd really miss
them," John said.
"They're gone, they're gone!" a hysterical Sally screamed as she ran back
through the hall and barged into the room.
"Get out!" Kate yelled at her daughter. Sally reluctantly backed out of
the room.
Kate was beside herself. She knew she had to be alone and think for a
while. "You stay here!" was all she said to John as she left his room,
closing the door behind her.
Sally was in the hallway. "Mom, ..."
Kate stopped her daughter from saying anything else by just raising her
hand. "Go down and make sure dinner doesn't burn. It may be a while
before anyone here feels much like eating tonight. Then leave me alone
for a bit."
Kate went into her room and fell on the bed sobbing. She cried for what
felt like an eternity before she could finally stop and start thinking
again. She knew she had some decisions to make. First of all, John had
to be prevented from getting his hands on any more drugs. He obviously
couldn't be trusted anymore and he definitely couldn't be allowed to hang
around with those friends of his again. But now she had this new job and
she had to support her family. She couldn't stay home and take care of
them. They needed the money. Kate had no idea what to do about the
situation.
Around 7:30 she told Sally and John to go down to get something to eat.
She stayed in her room. She still didn't have any answers.
It was a very quiet household that evening. John and Sally sat down to
eat, but neither of them really ate anything and neither of them said a
word. They both worked together, without saying anything, to clean up the
kitchen afterwards. Then they headed back to their rooms.
Chapter 2: New Dawn, New Day, New Life
The next morning, Kate woke the two teenagers up early for breakfast.
Neither one of them said a word as Kate placed bowls of cereal in front of
them. "I've been beside myself all night trying to figure out what to do
with you two," Kate finally said to them. "The two of you argue like cats
and dogs constantly, and I'm sick of it! Sally, I put John in charge and
just because you didn't like it was no reason to feel the way you did.
That was my decision to make, not yours. And John, being in charge
doesn't mean that you can give orders. It means that you're supposed to
be the responsible one and look out for everyone else.
"The fact that you stole Sally's earrings and sold them to buy drugs shows
me that you can't be trusted anymore. You'll never know how disappointed
I am in you for that. So I'm afraid that you're both going to get
punished severely. And John, I have a feeling that your punishment will
be much worse than your sister's. I have to work to earn the money we
need to live on, so I can't be here all day for you two.
"So here's the new rules. First of all, John, since I can't trust you
now, Sally is in charge while I'm at work, not you. Sally was at least
completely honest with me and told me everything she had done. Beating
you up was totally wrong even though you tired to hit her, but she did the
right thing when she told me all about it. Secondly, since you stole her
earrings and used the money to buy drugs, I'm going to let her punish you.
For the rest of the entire summer, you are to do 'anything' she tells you
to do, and knowing her, I'm sure she can get pretty mean.
"And Sally, for your punishment, you will be in charge of your brother for
the entire summer. I don't care what you do to him as long as it doesn't
cause him any bodily harm. But you are to make darn sure he never hangs
out with those friends of his again and that he never, ever has a chance
to get his hands on any drugs again! You said you could control him and
that you wanted to be in charge, well now you've got your chance. But
know this, it's for the entire summer, and from this point on, where you
go, he goes. You are not to leave this house unless he is with you. Your
brother is in your care and you are responsible for him!
"Now I have to go to work. Please don't make me get mad at you again when
I get home." With that, she kissed them both goodbye and headed out the
door. She was filled with guilt and apprehension over the situation she
had just left behind.
Sally and John just stared at each other while they finished their
breakfast. "I'll never forgive you for stealing the earrings Daddy gave
me," Sally said at last.
John just hung his head. What could he say? He had a feeling it was
going to be a long summer.
When they had both finished eating, Sally told John to go and get washed
up. She would clean up the kitchen.
John had just come out of the shower and was about to get dressed when
Sally came into his room and threw something at him. "I think that for
now, I'm going to pick up where we left off yesterday," she said. "Put
that on! I don't want you wearing any pants again today."
John looked at the clothes that had landed on the floor in front of him.
There was one of her dresses and a pair of her panties.
"Do I have to?" he asked. "Isn't this a little ridiculous?"
"Do you want another beating?" Sally replied. "I'm sure I'll probably
give you one later, but right now, I might really hurt you. I said put
them on!" And with that she left to get herself dressed.
John was still in his room when Sally came back in a little while later.
Sally saw that he had put the dress on, but hadn't been able to zip it up
completely in back. "Turn around and let me help you," she ordered him.
Sally finished zipping him up then lifted the back of his skirt. "Let's
see the panties," she said. Her thin nylon panties actually looked pretty
good on his backside. "They look good on you," she told him. "Now stand
back and let me see how the dress looks on you."
John took a few steps back. His face turned red with embarrassment as he
stood there modeling his sister's dress, a fact that didn't go unnoticed
by Sally. "It's a bit tight on you," Sally said, "but it'll do for now.
I think that maybe tomorrow we should add a bra." John just rolled his
eyes. "Come on downstairs now," Sally said to him, "you can help me clean
the house."
Sally told John to dust the furniture while she vacuumed the carpets.
John had just started when the phone rang and Sally answered it. He could
hear her talking to Megan, her friend from just a few houses down the
street. "Hi Meg... No, I don't think it would be a good idea for me to go
there today, but you could come here... I'll explain when you get here...
Okay, bye."
John was suddenly very concerned. "You didn't invite her over here did
you?"
"Of course I did," Sally replied.
"Well, let me change then."
"Absolutely not! You're staying just as you are! I'm not sure what I'm
going to do with you all summer, but for now, you're staying in that
dress. If people come over and see you, then that's just too bad for you.
Now get back to work!"
John reluctantly got back to his dusting. He was suddenly very concerned.
He didn't want anyone seeing him dressed as he was.
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door and Sally let Megan in.
John had wanted to hide, but Sally made sure that he stayed right in the
room where he was and continued dusting.
"What's going on?" Megan asked as soon as she saw John. Her eyes were
practically popping out of her head.
"Sit down and I'll tell you all about it," said Sally. Sally and Megan
sat on the couch and talked while John worked. Sally made sure to tell
Megan the whole story so that she knew everything.
"So it's for the whole summer?" Megan asked.
"Yeah, I'm stuck with him. I can't leave the house without him."
"Bummer," said Megan. "I hope you're going to make his life totally
miserable."
"I plan to" said Sally, "but I'm not really sure what all I'm going to do
yet. I guess I'll just have to see what comes to me."
"I like the dress idea," said Megan.
"Yeah," said Sally, "I'm thinking of keeping him in one all summer. Let
him know he's not the man of the house around here anymore." Megan
laughed.
The two of them sat and talked all morning while John finished dusting and
then vacuumed the carpets, after which, he was allowed to watch TV. At
lunchtime, Sally and Megan went into the kitchen to fix lunch. "I liked
your idea of feeding him the pureed baby food yesterday," said Megan.
"Maybe you should do it again. I'd love to see that."
"Sure," said Sally, "that's a good idea. We have lots of leftovers from
last night's supper, so I'll just fix up some of the vegetables that way.
Here, you heat this up for us, while I put his lunch into the blender."
Sally pureed some carrots and lima beans together, then added a little bit
of pot roast to the mixture for John's lunch. The resulting mess looked
awful.
"Yuck!" said Megan when she saw it. "You're going to make him eat that?"
"I sure am," Sally replied.
"Good," Megan said. "This should be funny."
"I think I'll feed him first," said Sally, "so we can get this over with."
When John walked into the kitchen for lunch, he immediately asked, "What's
that?" when he saw the bowl Sally had in her hands.
"Your lunch," said Sally.
"I'm not going to eat that!"
"Oh yes you are!" Sally said as she put the bowl on the table.
"No! It looks disgusting," said John.
Sally didn't waste even a second. In a flash, she was on top of him,
grabbing several fingers of his left hand, and twisting the hand into a
very unnatural and painful position. John immediately went to his knees
in pain. "Oww! Stop! You're hurting me!" he screamed.
"One thing you're going to learn very quickly," said Sally, "is that when
I tell you to do something, you do it right away. You don't say no or ask
questions. You just do it! Now stand up."
Sally pulled upward a little on John's arm, and still keeping the pressure
on John's hand, marched him over toward the table. Then Sally sat down in
one of the chairs and made John lay across her lap again. "This is just
to help you to remember your place around here and to do what you're
told," she said to him. Then she lifted his skirt in back and started
spanking his panty covered bottom. John was crying even before she
started, but when the first blow landed, he really wailed like a baby.
Megan couldn't believe what she was seeing. She stood transfixed and just
watched the whole scene as Sally's hand came down hard over and over again
on John's backside.
John couldn't do anything except lay across her lap screaming and crying
like a baby.
Finally Sally stopped and allowed John to get up. His face was beet red
and completely wet from his tears. "Now sit down!" Sally ordered. She
then started to spoon-feed him the mashed up lunch. John was still crying
so much that once again the food was going all over his face.
Megan laughed and said, "I think he needs a bib."
"Good idea," said Sally. "Why don't you tie that dish towel around his
neck for now. I don't want my dress that he's wearing to get ruined."
When Sally had finally finished feeding John his lunch, she ordered him to
stand in the corner again while she and Megan ate. John was crying again
as he pressed his body into the corner.
"Wow, what a sissy baby he is," said Megan. "I can't believe he was
crying even before you spanked him."
"Yeah," said Sally "he certainly doesn't look like much of a man now, does
he?" As Sally and Megan ate their lunch, they could plainly hear John's
sobbing in the corner. "Hey baby," said Sally to him suddenly. "Put your
thumb in your mouth and suck on it. Maybe we won't have to listen to you
so much then."
John slowly brought his thumb up to his mouth and started to suck on it.
He really didn't have much of a choice. While his crying could still be
heard, it wasn't nearly as loud anymore.
"Much better," said Sally. Megan's eyes were once again popping out of
her head.
After lunch was over and Sally and Megan had cleaned up the kitchen, John
was finally allowed to come out of the corner. As he started to take his
hand away from his mouth, Sally suddenly said, "Leave it! I like it
there. It makes you look more like the big baby that you are. You can
suck on that thumb until I decide otherwise."
As they went back into the den, Megan said teasingly to John, "I like that
dress on you. It really suits you... since you're such a big sissy."
John didn't say anything. His face just turned redder as he stood there
sucking his thumb.
"Say thank you to Megan," Sally said to him, "she just paid you a
complement. It's not polite to say nothing."
John let out a muffled "Thank you," through the thumb in his mouth.
"Take your thumb out of your mouth when you say it and say it nicely.
John took his thumb out of his mouth and said a very plain "Thank you."
"Now put your thumb back in your mouth again," said Sally.
"I think that since he's wearing a dress like a big sissy, he should
curtsey when he says it," suggested Megan giggling, "and he should say it
with a little more feeling."
Sally smiled as she looked wonderingly at her friend. Megan was starting
to get into the spirit of the game.
"That's a great idea," Sally said to her. "Curtsey for us when you say
thank you," she ordered John. Sally and Megan just sat staring at him,
waiting for him to do something. "Well, we're waiting" Sally said to him.
"Do you need another spanking?"
John again took his thumb out of his mouth, awkwardly tried to do a little
curtsey and said "Thank you," a little bit better this time. Then he
stood looking at them with a pleading look in his eyes as he put his thumb
back in his mouth.
"That was terrible," said Megan."
"It sure was," said Sally, "I think he needs some lessons."
Megan and Sally spent the rest of the afternoon teaching John how to
curtsey and say thank you just the way they wanted him to, like a big
sissy. They made him practice over and over again making sure he would do
it right.
When Kate finally got home that night, Sally and John were working in the
kitchen together like two old friends. They had prepared dinner together
and the table was all set and waiting. Kate walked in the door and
couldn't help but notice how much better the atmosphere in the house was
than the previous evening. She had been afraid all day of what she might
come home to. "Hi you two," she said to them, "how did it go today?"
"Pretty well," Sally replied.
Kate stared at John in Sally's dress, trying to find something to say
without laughing. "That dress looks real cute on you," she finally said.
John just looked at the floor, too embarrassed to say anything.
"John," Sally said to him, "Mom just paid you a complement. Thank her for
it!"
Kate was absolutely flabbergasted as she watched her son do a very pretty
curtsey and tell her thank you for the complement. She couldn't contain
her laughter any longer. "I love it! I absolutely love it!" she said.
She went over and gave them both a hug and a kiss and said, "It's so good
to see you two working together. And I'm also very pleased to see that
dinner is ready. Let me go and freshen up a bit and I'll be right back so
we can eat.
When Kate came back into the kitchen, she said, "I see you two cleaned up
the house, that's another nice surprise."
"Thank John," said Sally, "he did it while Megan and I were talking."
"Well thank you John," Kate said directly to him. John immediately did
his curtsey and thank-you routine as he had been taught which surprised
Kate again. All she could think to say was to repeat, "I love it!"
During dinner Kate told them about her new job and Sally told her about
how their day went. By the time dinner was over, Kate found something
else to be thankful for although she didn't mention it. It was one of the
most pleasant meals she had enjoyed at home in a long time. There was
absolutely no arguing or fighting of any kind between her two kids.
That evening they all watched TV together until 8:00 when Sally suddenly
told John that it was time to get ready for bed.
"But it's only 8:00," John complained.
"Are you going to argue with me?" Sally threatened.
"No, I'm sorry," John replied resignedly as he got up to go to bed.
"You don't have to go to bed just yet," Sally told him as she followed him
up the stairs, "I just want you to get ready."
"Now what?" John thought to himself.
Upstairs, Sally took John into her room instead of sending him to his.
There, she helped him get his dress off, then made him put on one of her
frilliest nightgowns. John was obviously not too pleased, but he never
said a word. "Now you can go back down and watch TV again for a little
while," Sally said to him.
When they got back to the den, Kate looked at her son in the nightgown and
said, "Well don't you look pretty."
John, not quite sure weather he should or not, dropped into a curtsey and
said "Thank you," again. This time Kate just smiled.
At 8:30, John was sent to bed for the night and Sally sat and talked to
her mother. "I must say" Kate said, "you're really making him toe the
line. I was a little surprised to see him in a dress tonight, but when he
curtseyed and said 'thank you' to me, I almost hit the floor. I figured
you'd come up with a good way to punish him."
"That's probably just the start," said Sally. "I'm not really sure what
all I'm going to do with him yet, but I'm seriously thinking of turning
him into the biggest sissy I possibly can. I don't think his old friends
will want much to do with him then do you?"
"No, I don't think they'll want to go anywhere near him," Kate replied.
"Mom, I know you haven't been paid yet, but is there any chance you could
buy me something for John?" Sally asked.
"What's that?"
"Well," Sally started, "John seems to be very embarrassed about being made
to wear my clothes, but he's even more embarrassed when we treat him like
a baby. I want to do a little more along that line. Is there any way you
could buy a package of diapers for him tonight?"
"Diapers!" Kate said surprised. "My God!" Then she thought for a minute
and said laughingly, "Okay, but don't ask me to change him! Is there
anything else you want?"
"Well," Sally said, "if you think of anything else to go along with the
diapers, it would be great. Oh, and a bib might be nice. Thanks Mom,
you're the best!" Sally said excitedly as she hugged her mother and
planted a quick kiss on her cheek.
Kate returned from the store a little while later and handed over a large
bag to Sally. "I managed to find a few things you might be able to use."
Sally opened the bag and started to remove the contents. First she pulled
out a large bib that had little yellow ducks on it. "Oh, it's perfect!"
she declared before reaching back into the bag. The next item was a
package of baby wipes.
"I wasn't sure if you were going to make him use the diapers or not, but I
thought I better buy some just in case," Kate said to her.
Sally also pulled out a pacifier, some baby powder, and then much to her
surprise, two plastic baby bottles, a baby dish for his food, and a rubber
coated baby spoon to eat with. Sally laughed in delight. "I just know
he'll love them!" she said to her mother. The last item in the bag was a
large bag of adult disposable diapers. "Perfect!" Sally said, looking at
her mother with a sly grin on her face. "I think John is going to be in
for a big surprise tomorrow!"
Chapter 3: Baby Steps
The next morning, Sally was awake early and went down to get breakfast
ready for everyone. She really only poured out three bowls of cereal, but
John's went into his new dish. The dish was shaped more like a shallow
bowl than an actual dish to help keep the food inside. Sally also filled
one of his new bottles with milk and set it on the table next to his plate
for him.
When Kate came down for breakfast, John followed right behind her.
"What's this?" John said without thinking when he saw the plate his
breakfast was on and the baby bottle beside it.
"Mom bought you some presents last night," Sally said to him. "I just
know you're going to love them."
John didn't quite know what to think. He certainly wasn't happy as he
dropped heavily into his chair and started to eat with the tiny spoon.
Both Kate and Sally watched him amusedly as they finished their own
breakfasts. John's spoon didn't allow him to eat very fast so Kate was
finished and was gone to work long before he was through. As Kate walked
out the door, the last thing she saw was John trying to drink his milk
from the bottle. She laughed all the way to work.
When John finally finished, Sally sent him up to take a bath while she
cleaned up in the kitchen. "And I mean a bath," she said to him, "not a
shower. And pour some of my bubble-bath solution into it too. I'll be up
to check on you in a minute."
John had just gotten into the tub and was soaking under a sweetly scented
mass of bubbles when Sally walked in on him. "Okay," she said to him, "I
noticed yesterday that your hairy legs don't look too good, so we need to
fix that now. Stand up so I can shave you," she ordered. "And don't
worry about trying to be modest and hide yourself from me, I'm going to
see it all anyway."
John reluctantly stood up in the tub and had no choice but to let Sally
shave his legs. But Sally didn't stop there. She went over every square
inch of his body and made sure that the only hair left was on his head.
She even shaved his pubic hair. When John tried to complain, Sally just
told him to shut up and hold still.
After rinsing him off, Sally took her naked brother into her room and made
him lay on her bed. John wasn't sure what was going to happen and was a
little fearful. When he saw Sally approaching with a diaper in her hands,
he was started screaming. "No, no!" he kept saying fearfully. "I'm not
going to wear a diaper!"
"Oh yes you will," said Sally. "You don't have to like it. In fact I'm
really glad that you don't, but you are going to wear it!"
"No!" John screamed crying and thrashing around on the bed.
"Yes!" said Sally as she slapped his face. "Now lay still and move those
hands!"
John could do nothing except lay there crying while Sally powdered and
diapered him like a baby. Sally noticed that his diaper had a light blue
stripe that served as a wetness indicator. "That could prove useful," she
thought to herself.
When she was done, she gave John the same stretch-waist skirt to wear that
he had worn two days before. She knew that she was going to have to get
him some clothes that fit, and soon. Then she made him hold out his arms
while she fastened one of her bras on him. John was still crying and it
was obvious he was not too happy about it, something that made Sally glad.
Sally finished dressing John by stuffing a pair of pantyhose into each
side of his bra, and then put one of her really girly t-shirts on him.
The t-shirt was too tight to begin with and the padded bra made it even
more so. He looked ridiculous. The skirt was full and it was short
enough that it just barely covered his diaper. "Just one more thing,"
Sally said, and she popped the pacifier into his mouth, "and don't take it
out for any reason unless I tell you to. Okay," Sally finally said as she
stood back to look at him, "good enough for now. Go watch TV or something
while I get dressed."
John headed downstairs. The diaper felt thick and strange between his
legs. The bra was tight and very uncomfortable. It felt strange every
time his arms brushed against the fake breasts protruding from his chest.
Things were certainly getting worse every day, and John didn't have a clue
what he could do about it.
Sally had finally just come downstairs to check on her brother when the
phone rang. It was her friend Jenny from two blocks away. "Hi Jenny,"
Sally said to her, "what's up?"
"I was calling all the girls last night," Jenny said, "to see if anyone
wanted to come over to swim in the pool today. But Megan told me about
your situation with your brother. I didn't call you since I really wanted
it to be just girls today. I'm sorry. But I got to thinking about it,
and since Megan said that you had John firmly under you thumb, that if you
could guarantee he wouldn't be a nuisance, then you and John could both
come. It wouldn't feel right if you were left out."
"Thanks so much," said Sally. "I know I would love to go. I'm not sure
that John will, but what he wants doesn't really matter. In fact it might
be just the right thing for him. Yes, I can certainly guarantee that he
will be no problem and we'll both be there."
"Great," said Jenny. "About 1:00 then. See you later."
"Bye," said Sally.
Sally walked into the den where John was watching a movie on TV and said
to him, "Just because I'm stuck having to drag you everywhere I go all
summer doesn't mean that I can't have any fun or see my friends. Jenny
just invited us to swim in her pool this afternoon as long as I can make
sure you'll behave. If you're good, I'll let you have a little fun this
afternoon and swim in her pool. If you're not good while we're there,
I'll make sure you really regret it. Believe me, I won't hesitate for a
minute to spank you right in front of all my friends."
John instantly perked up. "Don't worry," he said through the pacifier in
his mouth, "I promise to be good." John was relieved that he was finally
going to be able to get out of his sister's clothes and the stupid diaper
he was wearing and get out of the house for a little while.
Sally went to the kitchen and filled both baby bottles full of water and
handed them to John. "Here," she said to him as she took his pacifier, "I
want you to finish both of these as fast as you can. Don't put them down
till they're both empty." Then, as John put the first bottle to his mouth
and started sucking on it, she picked up the remote control for the TV and
started flipping through the channels until she found a Barney program.
"You can watch this instead," she said to him, "it's more appropriate for
a big baby like you." The doorbell rang then, so she left him there to
answer it.
"Hi Megan," she said when she had opened the door and saw who was outside.
"Come on in, I'm glad you came over."
Sally and Megan went into the living room to talk where John couldn't hear
them. "Jenny called me last night Megan began," sounding a little guilty.
"I know," Sally told her, "I talked to her this morning."
"Did she invite you to swim today?" Megan asked.
"Yes she did," Sally said. "She told me that she had talked to you last
night and you told her about my situation with John."
"Good," said Megan. "I told her that you were pretty much put in charge
of him for the whole summer and that you weren't allowed to go anywhere
without him. I'm sorry if I shouldn't have told her that."
"It's okay," said Sally. "Did you tell her about what we did to him
yesterday?" she asked.
"No," Megan answered her, "I didn't think I should."
"This should be really interesting then when they see him today." Sally
told her with an evil grin on her face.
"Why?" Megan asked. "Are you going to make him wear a dress over there
today? By the way where is he?"
"Better than that," said Sally, "come and see."
"Look who's here," said Sally as she and Megan walked into the den. Sally
laughed in delight at seeing John drinking from the baby bottle.
"Stand up," Sally commanded, "and say hi to Megan the same way you learned
to say thank you yesterday."
John reluctantly stood up and did a curtsey the way he had been taught and
said a very contrite "Hello Megan." John's right hand was still holding
the baby bottle and so he couldn't use it to lift his skirt as he
curtseyed. But he did admirably just the same.
"Very nice," said Megan. "I see you're wearing a bra today too. I think
the bra and the baby bottle are very nice touches."
"That's not all," Sally said to her. "Lift your skirt John." John
reluctantly stood there and lifted the front of his skirt so Megan could
see his diaper.
"Oh," Megan cried in delight. "A diaper! How appropriate for a big sissy
baby like you."
"Come on," Sally said quickly to Megan, wanting to get her out of there
before she said anything else, "lets leave him here and go up to my room.
I want to try on some bathing suits before this afternoon."
When they got to Sally's room, Sally said, "I think that John expects that
I'm going to allow him to dress normally when we go to Jenny's later. I
don't want to spoil the surprise for him."
"You mean you are going to make him go like that?" Jenny asked.
"Absolutely," sally answered. "Right now, I'm planning on turning him
into the biggest sissy I possibly can and I want everyone to see him that
way. His old friends won't be too interested in seeing him then."
"No, I don't think they will," Megan agreed with her delightedly.
Just then, the phone rang again and Sally ran to answer it. Megan
followed and heard her say, "I'm sorry Bill, but John can't come to the
phone just now, but he isn't really doing anything this morning, so if you
want to come over to see him, you can... Okay, see you in a few minutes
then...bye." Bill was part of the bunch that John always hung around with
and he usually had a very unpleasant personality.
"Oh, you're cruel," said Megan with a sparkle in her eye as Sally hung up
the phone. Sally just smiled.
Before going back upstairs, Sally checked in on John, he was still
watching Barney, and was now starting on his second bottle. Sally picked
up the empty one, refilled it and handed it back to John. "Finish this
one too," she told him.
John was getting worried that he was going to have to pee soon and all the
water Sally was making him drink was only making it worse. "What happens
when I have to go to the bathroom?" he asked afraid of what the answer
might be.
"That's the point of all the bottles," Sally said to him, "I want you to
wet your diaper." Then she quickly turned and left the room with Megan
following her. She didn't want hear John complain that he didn't want to.
John really wanted to protest, but there was suddenly no one there to talk
to. He had been afraid that was going to be the answer, and now Sally
had confirmed it. Wetting himself like a baby was something he knew he
didn't want to do. And he knew that the more he thought about having to
pee, the stronger the need was going to get.
John had finally started on his third bottle when Sally came back into the
den. "Look who else is here," she said to him.
When John turned his head, there was Bill who was staring back wide-eyed
at him. John wanted to run as fast as he could, but there was nowhere to
go. They were all blocking the door.
"What's going on?" was all Bill could say.
"I'm afraid we found John's stash of drugs and so for the rest of the
summer he's being punished," Sally said to him. "Actually, the only
reason I asked you over this morning was because I wanted you to see him
so you could tell all his friends not to call him anymore. He's not
allowed to see any of them, and as you can see, he's trying to develop a
new and better personality."
Megan laughed to herself.
"Now," Sally continued to Bill, "please leave and spread the word."
Bill just looked amazed at Sally and then back at John who was starting to
cry. "Geez!" was all he could say as he shook his head and headed for the
door.
When he was gone, Sally smiled and said to Megan, "I don't think John will
be getting too many calls from his friends for a while, do you?"
"No," Megan answered. "I don't think so."
John was crying openly. Sally refilled the empty bottle and handed it
back to him. "You know what to do with this one too," she said as she and
Megan left to go back to Sally's room.
By the middle of John's fourth bottle, he had to pee really badly. He
knew he was supposed to use his diaper, but he just couldn't. He stopped
drinking and began squirming more and more trying to hold it back.
Finally he decided that no matter what Sally would do to him, he was going
to use the bathroom so he ran out of the den heading for the nearest
toilet. Unfortunately for him, Sally and Megan were just coming back
downstairs when they saw him run out of the den. Sally ran after him and
caught him just as he got into the bathroom. "Just what do you think
you're doing?" she asked him harshly.
"Let me go!" John screamed, "I have to pee!"
"I told you to use your diaper," Sally said.
"I can't!" John cried as he fought with her to free his hands so he could
get his diaper off.
"Megan," Sally called to her friend. "Find me something to tie his hands
with."
Megan looked quickly around the house but didn't know where to find any
rope. "What can I use?" she came back and asked Sally who was by now
holding John in a very painful hold to keep control of him.
Sally thought for a minute then said. "There's some duct tape in the
bottom kitchen drawer. Get that."
Megan ran to the kitchen, found the tape and brought it back to the
bathroom as fast as she could. "Tape his wrists together," Sally said to
her as she held John's wrists up behind his back. Megan dutifully wrapped
several layers of tape around his wrists and then cut the tape off. Sally
got off of John and let him go.
John jumped up and thrashed around trying to get his hands free, but it
was useless. He was crying again. "Please, please take this diaper off
of me and let me pee," he kept pleading.
"You can pee anytime you want," Sally told him, "but the diaper stays on!
Now back to the den."
John was still squirming and dancing around trying not to wet himself as
he was marched back to the den. Sally picked up the unfinished baby
bottle to hand to him then realized that he could no longer hold it in his
hands. "Oh darn," she said. "I wanted to keep him drinking from the
bottle, but he can't hold it anymore, and I really don't feel like holding
it for him right now."
"I have an idea," said Megan, "but it will mean undoing his hands for a
minute. "Ok," said Sally, "I'm game."
Sally grabbed John's wrists and held him down while Megan untapped them.
Then she grabbed John's left hand, which he was holding in a tight fist,
and started to wrap the tape tightly around it so that he couldn't open
it. When she finished with that hand, Megan picked up the baby bottle,
and forced John's right hand around it, then started wrapping the tape
around his right hand and the bottle. When she was finished, there was no
way that John could even let go of the bottle. "Okay," Megan said at
last, "all done, let him up."
Sally let go of John and got off of him again. Then she and Megan stood
back to watch as John thrashed at his diaper with his now useless hands.
Sally started to laugh. "I'll tell you what John," she said to him, "if
you can get your diaper off now, you can use the bathroom like you want."
John was crying again. No matter what he did, he just didn't have any way
to remove the diaper.
Sally walked over to him and suddenly yanked his skirt down to the floor.
"I have a feeling that you'll be wet pretty soon she said to him, and now,
we can see it. Now you just stand right there so we can watch you and put
that bottle in your mouth again and keep drinking!"
John was in absolute agony over having to pee and he couldn't hold still.
He was crying but he put the bottle back into his mouth and pretended to
drink from it. Sally and Megan sat down and just laughed at him.
A few minutes later, Megan said to Sally, "Is that blue stripe on his
diaper turning darker at the bottom?"
Sally looked closer, "It certainly is," she confirmed. "He must be
starting to wet himself, but by the way he's still dancing around, he
isn't nearly finished yet."
John was still trying not to wet himself, but he was getting tired and he
had felt a little bit of pee leak out into his diapers. But it was
getting harder and harder to hold back and a few minutes later, despite
all his efforts to stop it, the pee was just flooding out of him into his
diaper. There was just no stopping it. He bawled like a baby as he felt
the warm pee flooding around him and filling his diaper.
"Finally," Sally said at last. "See, you can pee in your diapers. Just
like a big baby." Then she walked over to him, pulled his skirt back into
place, sat him down in front of the TV again, and shoved his bottle back
into his mouth. "Now finish that!" she said to him as she and Megan
walked out of the room again.
John was miserable. The agony of having to pee was now replaced by the
unfamiliar feeling of the warm wet diaper around him. He sucked on his
bottle again as he cried.
Megan soon left to go home for lunch and to get ready for their swim
herself. "I'll stop here on the way over and we can all walk together,"
she said to Sally as she left.
Sally went into the kitchen to prepare an early lunch for John and
herself. With John's hands taped up and useless, Sally knew there was no
way he could feed himself, so Sally ate a small salad by herself then
mixed some peanut butter and jelly together in a bowl for John. She
brought John into the kitchen, sat him down and fed him his lunch. John
was grateful to finally get something he liked instead of the mashed up
lunches he had been getting. When he was through, Sally brought a pitcher
of water over and refilled the bottle still taped in John's hand. Then
she went up and got a fresh diaper for him, and changed him while she made
him suck on the bottle. John was certain glad to have his diaper changed.
When she was through, Sally sent him back in to watch children's TV shows
until it was time to go.
"Don't we have to leave soon?" John asked her.
"Pretty soon," Sally confirmed. "When can I get changed?" John asked her.
"I just changed you," Sally said.
"No, I mean to go out," said John.
"You are changed to go out," said Sally with an evil grin. Oh, but don't
worry, I packed a bathing suit for you. You can change when you get
there."
John was horrified. His sister was planning to take him out of the house
dressed just as he was. This was something he hadn't even contemplated.
A few minutes before 1:00, Megan knocked at the door to wait for Sally and
John. Sally was wearing her bathing suit under her top, but John was
still dressed the same way he was earlier except that he was now wearing
his sneakers on his feet. Megan laughed. "This should be funny," she
said, as Sally literally had to push John out the door.
It was bad enough for John to be outside dressed the way he was, but
watching Sally lock the door behind them seemed to make matters even
worse. He knew he would have no choice but to publicly humiliate himself
in front of everyone.
