    "Bill" BY CODY MATTHEW JAMES III 2/8/05

    Chapter 11 THE ZOO

    Ricky woke up first, then poked me in my ribs until I woke up.

    "I smell something good." he said.

    I smelled the air, and there was no mistake. I could smell the aroma of
    bacon and sausage frying in the kitchen. I looked at Ricky, and he
    looked at me, then we were off, running towards the kitchen at full
    speed.

    "Good morning boys." Bill said as he put his coffee cup down on the
    table.

    I looked towards the stove, and my mom, and Cathy were busy cooking
    breakfast.

    "Special treat this morning boys, eggs, bacon, and sausage," my mommy
    said

    I didn't know who was drooling more at the sight, Ricky or me.

    "Looks like your going to have a full table this morning Jeanne." Cathy
    said as she got the eggs out of the refrigerator,

    "I'm sure Ricky and Scotty have another place they rather eat then at
    the table with us." my mommy said.

    "You guys want scrambled eggs, or scrambled eggs?" Cathy asked us.

    "Every time Cathy makes eggs, they all come up scrambled anyway." Ricky
    said.

    "I take my eggs cooked, and on a plate please, with some bacon, and
    sausages too."

    "My, what a polite young man you've got there, Jeanne." Cathy said.

    "Hey Scotty, got a sec, before you feed your face?" Bill asked.

    "Yean, what you want?"

    "You remember the first meeting you went to yesterday at Lone Hill
    school?"

    "Yeah." I answered.

    "Jordan Enterprises got over four hundred inquires about there
    products, and there were more then one hundred orders placed by phone
    and the internet, as of this morning."

    "Is that good?"

    "Is that good, that's fabulous Scotty. Jordan hasn't had that many
    orders in twelve hours ever before, and I think that sun suit you wore
    might be named The Scotty sun suit."

    "Huh?"

    "A lot of those orders were for the sun suits that you wore on Thursday
    at the beach, and a lot of people were asking if they could order the
    sun suit Scotty was wearing when he tripped at the beach."

    I blushed a little as I thought about that little incident.

    "What about the swim diapers?"

    "Those are hot sellers too, but there was one lady that asked us how
    many school days they were going to have at Lone Hill school this year,
    and then she told Jordan she wanted to order three school diapers for
    each school day for her son Mark to wear to school. We even had a
    little league coach order two hundred sport diapers for his team to
    use."

    "Is that why we are having a celebration this morning?" I asked my mom.

    "That, and I wanted to celebrate no more late nights, unless someone
    asks me out on a date." my mommy said as she winked at Bill.

    Cathy served the eggs as Ricky and I stood there with our plates in our
    hands, and after the bacon, and sausage was served, I went to the
    living room and sat on the couch. Ricky followed me shortly carrying
    the catsup, and said, "Cathy's eggs taste lots better with catsup on
    them."

    "I heard that loud mouth." Cathy said as she came into the living room
    holding our Romano's bibs.

    She tied a bib around my neck, then she tied one around Ricky's neck.

    "After you boys are done with breakfast, I'll give you a bath." Cathy
    said, then she went back into the kitchen.

    Bill picked up his coffee cup, then came into thr living room and sat
    down on the couch beside me.

    "Scotty, you and me make one great team. I want to thank you again for
    talking to all those parents yesterday."

    "You want me to speak to some more parents today, don't you Bill?"

    "Well, kind of. You see Scotty, there is a little auditorium at the
    zoo, next to the children's petting zoo area, and I want you to talk to
    some special kids there."

    "Are they autistic or something?"

    "No, these are boys are about your age, and younger and they live at a
    boys home."

    "Are they criminals?"

    "No Scotty. They live at the boys home because they were abused or
    neglected, or their parents didn't want them anymore."

    "You're kidding, aren't you Bill?"

    "No. I'm telling you the truth Scotty. Most of these boys wet the bed,
    or they have daytime wetting accidents like you and Ricky."

    "What do I say to them?"

    "Just tell them that they are not the only ones that have wetting
    problems, and tell them how you cope with the teasing, and things like,
    how you manage to get changed while your at school, you know."

    "Am I going to be wearing any of the Jordan products?"

    "It would be a good idea. They can see some of the items, and how to
    use them."

    "Can I wear some too?" Ricky asked.

    "That would be a good idea Ricky, if you don't mind." Bill said.

    "Okay Bill. I'll do it." I said.

    "I knew I could count on you Scotty." Bill said as he got up off the
    couch, and went back into the kitchen to finish his breakfast.

    I finished eating my breakfast, and then watched Ricky devour his
    second helping of scrambled eggs.

    "You monkeys ready for your bath?" Cathy asked.

    Ricky shook his stuffed face up and down, and I told her yes.

    Ricky and I took our plates into the kitchen, then went to the bathroom
    with Cathy. She took our bibs off of us, and then placed the potty seat
    on the toilet seat. She striped me first and then sat me on the potty
    seat. As I sat there, she took the diaper off of Ricky. When I was
    finished on the potty, Cathy picked me up off the potty seat, and sat
    me down in the tub, and then picked Ricky up and sat him on the potty
    seat. Cathy was washing my hair when my mom asked, "Do you need any
    help in there Cathy?"

    "No Jeanne I got it under control. If I have any problems I just hold
    them underwater for a few minutes, then they are really good after
    that."

    "I'll have to try that with Scotty sometime." my mommy said.

    Cathy went over and picked Ricky up off the potty seat and sat him down
    in the tub beside me. After Cathy washed my back and front, I stood up,
    then I saw a flash of light.

    "Mom, I'm naked." I said as I tried to hide my penis.

    "I was trying to get your better side sweetheart, not that side of
    you."

    Cathy finished washing me, then she worked on Ricky. When she was
    finished with us, she dried us off, then we went to my room to get
    dressed.

    "Cathy, can I wear one of Scotty's sports diapers today ?" Ricky asked
    as he climbed up onto the changing pad.

    "Sure Ricky as long as Scotty doesn't mind."

    "I don't mind." I said as I walked out of my room, and went to the
    kitchen.

    "Bill, can I wear one of the school diapers today instead of the super
    diaper?"

    "Don't you like the super diaper Scotty?"

    "I like it, but I have an idea."

    "Sure Scotty. What else are you going to wear today?" Bill asked.

    "Things that I'd wear if I was going to school."

    "You go ahead and wear what you want to Scotty."

    "Bill, do you think Scotty has on enough clothes now so we can go car
    shopping?' my mom asked him as my mommy picked me up and held me in her
    arms.

    "Mommy, I don't have no clothes on.

    "Time to go car shopping then." my mom said as she headed towards the
    front door.

    "You wouldn't take me outside naked…would you mommy?"

    "Naw, I was just teasing you baby." my mom said as she carried me back
    to my bedroom .

    "I thought there was another kid around here somewhere." Cathy said as
    my mom sat me down on the dresser.

    "I think I'll get this one changed Cathy. Why don't you get Ricky
    dressed." my mommy said as she lifted my feet up onto the dresser and I
    laid back. She sprinkled the baby powder onto her hand and rubbed it
    into my rear so gently.

    "I really missed being here for you baby." my mom said as she sprinkled
    more baby powder on my front.

    "I missed you too mommy."

    "I sure missed making you dinner and putting you to bed, sweetheart."

    "I missed that too."

    "Do you like working for Bill so far?"

    "Yeah, now I can buy my own clothes for school, and maybe you and Bill
    will go out on a date."

    "Scotty, do you like Bill?"

    "Yeah, I think he's neat."

    "If I ever decide to marry him, I'll ask you permission, Deal?"

    "Deal."

    "Now that you're powdered, what are you going to wear?"

    "I want to wear the school diaper, and one of the body shirts Bill gave
    me."

    My mom opened the dresser drawers looking for the school style diaper.
    She took out a diaper and asked. "This one?"

    "No, that's a sport diaper, like the one Ricky has on."

    She searched the drawers, then she asked, "Is this what you wanted to
    wear?" she asked as she held up the super diaper.

    "It's in the middle drawer of the middle of the dresser."

    My mom found the right drawer, and as she opened it up, said, "How many
    things does Jordan make any way?"

    "Lots." I answered.

    She opened up the diaper and felt the padding on the inside of the
    diaper, and said, "I see why you like the school diaper baby, it must
    feel a lot better on your tush then those cloth diapers."

    "That's one reason I like them, but the other reason is they hold a
    lot."

    "Want to wear one of printed diapers or one of the colored diapers
    baby?"

    "One of the colored ones."

    She took out a blue school diaper and then lifted my legs up and
    slipped the diaper under my rear. She adjusted it, then pulled the
    front of the diaper up between my legs, and then fastened the rear
    tapes to the front.

    My mom looked over at Cathy and said, "I want to thank you again for
    the dresser Cathy. It makes it a lot easier getting Scotty dressed
    now."

    "I think my brother Richie would have thanked you for taking it so he
    didn't have to get rid of it himself." Cathy said.

    "Now where's that body shirt you wanted to wear Scotty."

    "It's in the closet on the hanger, the royal blue one."

    My mom went to the closet and got the shirt, unsnapped the front
    placket, then unsnapped the crotch. As I held my arms up, she slipped
    the shirt over them, then pulled the shirt over my head and pulled it
    down below my waist. I raised my rear and she pulled the shirt down
    past my rear then snapped the crotch snaps together.

    "Which pair of shorts were you going to wear baby?"

    "I wanted to wear the school pants from Jordan."

    "Where are those?"

    "In the bottom drawer, last row." I answered.

    She opened the drawer and took out the tan sport pants and held them up
    for me to see.

    "These?" she asked.

    "Those." I answered.

    "They look like you other blue sports pants you have Scotty."

    "They are a little different ." I said as she slipped them on over my
    feet. I lifted my rear and she pulled them up to my waist.

    "Those are good looking school pants. How many colors do they come in?"

    my mom asked.

    "The pamphlet Bill gave me yesterday said six colors."

    "How are these pants different then your other pants baby?"

    I sat up and reached down to my ankle and unsnapped it on the inside of
    my leg, and worked my way up to my crotch as I said, "See, you change
    my diaper without taking my pants off."

    "I can unsnap the outside snaps on you pants and change your diaper
    without taking your pants off that way too."

    "But then you'd have to pull my pants back up to my waist before you
    could fasten them again."

    My mom snapped the inside of my legs back together, then put my socks
    and shoes on me.

    "What do you guys want to see first?" Cathy asked

    I said lions, and Ricky yelled monkeys.

    "Ricky, you can always see monkeys at home. Just look into Jason's or
    Richie's bedroom." Cathy said

    "Cathy, that's not a nice thing to say about your brothers." my mom
    said.

    "We always tease each other a little bit, don't we Ricky?"

    "Yup, and I like teasing Cathy too."

    "Ricky is ready to go Jeanne. How's Scotty doing?" Cathy asked as she
    picked up the diaper bag.

    "I think he's ready. I wonder if Bill is finished with those dishes
    yet?"

    "Yes Bill's finished with those dishes Jeanne, and he's dried them and
    put them away in the cupboard like a good boy." Bill said as he walked
    into my bedroom.

    "Mom, give him a cookie with his lunch today for being a good boy." I
    said as I started climbing down off the dresser.

    Bill came over and picked me up off the little stairs and hung me over
    his shoulder like I was a sack of potatoes.

    "You want to drive, or do you want me to drive Scotty?" Bill asked as
    we left the apartment.

    "I think you'd better drive Bill. Scotty left his glasses at home." my
    mom said joking.

    "Aw mom. Why can't I drive?"

    "We don't have enough telephone books for you to sit on yet baby." my
    mom said as she pinched my cheek.

    Bill slid open the door of the S.U.V. and stood me on the floorboard. I
    got into the Jordan car seat, and Ricky climbed into the other car
    seat. Cathy fastened the harness buckle between Ricky's legs, then
    pulled the harness tight, then she fastened my harness, and tightened
    it. As Bill started the S.U.V., Cathy sat down on the seat between
    Ricky and me, and fastened her seat belt.

    "I'm going to sit right here and keep you guys in line until we get to
    the zoo." Cathy said giving Ricky and me a stern look, then she reached
    over and tickled Ricky.

    It took over an hour to drive to the zoo, and when we got there, the
    parking lot was already crowded. Bill went and paid our way in, and
    when he came back, he told me that the first lecture was at eleven AM,
    and the second one was at one PM.

    "I thought I was only going to have to talk once today, not twice." I
    said to Bill.

    "When they listed you today Scotty, with Jordan Enterprises and what
    you were going to talk about,, they had more people responding then the
    auditorium could hold, so they scheduled a second time for you." Bill
    said.

    I didn't know what to say. I was mad because it was supposed to be me
    and my mommy…mostly today, now I had to talk about the Jordan products
    twice.

    When my mom saw the expression on my face, she said, "Baby, you can do
    this for Bill, and think of all the kids you will be helping,"

    "I guess so." I said.

    We went to look at the lions and tigers first, then Bill asked me if I
    knew what a lynx was, and I told him it was a car, and then Bill showed
    me a real live lynx in a cage. As we walked through the zoo, Bill was
    taking pictures of Ricky and me. We went to the monkey compound, and
    Bill took a picture of Ricky imitating the monkeys. It was almost
    eleven when we got to the petting zoo. A zoo curator brought out a baby
    chimpanzee, and when Ricky saw it, he wanted to take the chimp home
    with him. Bill went into the auditorium, then came out a few minutes
    later with a woman.

    "Scotty, this is Arlene. She is the one who arranged the lecture this
    morning and she is a counselor at the boys home.' Bill said.

    "Hi Scotty, nice to meet you."

    I shook her hand as we went inside the auditorium. As I looked around,
    I noticed all the seats were filled mainly by boys who were about my
    age and younger.

    "Okay boys, settle down so we can get started, and as soon as we are
    finished, it will be time for lunch."

    A small cheer went out from the boys after the word lunch was
    mentioned.

    "I would like to introduce you to Mr. Stiles, and Scotty McCormick."
    Arlene said.

    Bill stood up and introduced himself, then asked the boys if they could
    guess what he did for a living. A few boys raised their hands and they
    guess everything from a doctor to a schoolteacher. Bill told them that
    he was in advertising, and that he had thought up ideas for beer and
    wine commercials. Most of the boys were almost bored to death as they
    sat there. Bill went on telling them how he started his own advertising
    company, and that he now does the advertising for Jordan Enterprises.
    When Bill mentioned that he makes over two hundred thousand dollars a
    year at his job, most of the boys started paying attention.

    Bill leaned back against a table and told the boys he was there to talk
    to them about bedwetting. A lot of the boys started fidgeting in their
    seats, then Bill laid a bombshell on them and me, when he told the boys
    that he used to wet the bed when he was eight years old until he was
    about fourteen.

    I had thought that he would have never told that to anyone but me.

    The boys listened intently to his story, about how he was teased and
    called names. He said that he wished there had been a company like
    Jordan when he was young. After he was finished with his story, he
    introduced me to the boys. As I walked over to Bill, I wasn't sure what
    I was going to say. I figured if Bill could admit that he was a bed
    wetter to those guys, so could I.

    "Hi, my name is Scotty, and I've wet the bed every night since I can
    remember."

    "So what, you just a little kid like most of the boys at the home that
    wet their beds." an older kid said.

    "How old are you?" I asked him.

    "Eleven years old, What's it to you."

    "So you think I'm just another little bed wetter, your wrong ace. I'm
    ten years old, almost eleven, and I've heard all the names other kids
    call me, and I know what they have called you too." I said.

    "No way. Your only six or seven at the most."

    "Boy, I must be one smart kid. Seems like I'm going into the sixth
    grade this year, and for a six year old with a B average, that's pretty
    good." I told him.

    "Scotty is telling you the truth guy, and he is working for me and
    Jordan Enterprises making about half the money I'm making." Bill said.

    "That little pee wee is making one hundred grand a year?" another boy
    asked.

    "That and he also gets freebees from Jordan, and that puts him over a
    hundred grand a year." Bill said.

    "That little brat makes all that money? What the hell does he do for
    it?"

    "Christopher, Do not use that kind of language, understand?" Arlene
    said

    "Besides modeling Jordan products for our catalog, he make commercials,
    speaks to parents and talks to kids like you Chris." Bill answered.

    "How many of you have daytime accidents at school?" I asked them.

    A few hands went up, mainly from the little kids.

    "How many of you are wearing a diaper right now?" I asked them

    Only one hand went up, and it was from a small kid in a wheelchair. I
    walked over to him, and raised my hand.

    "No way dude. You're not wearing a diaper you liar."

    "How can you tell I'm not wearing one?" I asked Chris.

    "If you were wearing one, you be bulging out all over like Juan."

    "Want to see the diaper I'm wearing?" I asked them

    Every one wanted to see the diaper I was wearing, so I turned my back
    towards them, and bent over slowly, and asked, "Can you see it?"

    "No, but the diaper pants you're wearing are cute." another boy said
    sarcastically.

    "Jordan makes those, and the body shirt I'm wearing."

    "He's wearing girls clothes too." Chris said as I turned back around.

    "Not girls clothes, but a body shirt diaper cover, I guess you'd call
    it." I said as I unsnapped the crotch of my pants and the snaps on my
    body shirt and showed the blue school diaper I was wearing.

    "Hey, he really is wearing a diaper." Chris said as he walked towards
    me to get a closer look.

    "Their called school style diapers." I said.

    "If your ten years old, what's with the snap crotch pants?" Chris
    asked.

    "Easier to get changed, especially at school."

    "Why not just wear Goodnights to school?"

    "They leak, and don't hold enough, and you have to take your shoes
    before you can put a Goodnight on. All you have to do with a school
    diaper is drop your pants, take the school diaper off, and put another
    one on, then pull your pants back up."

    As I looked up at Chris, he seemed more interested in the school
    diapers.

    "Now that you know about Bill and me, how many of you wet your beds at
    night?" I asked

    Most of the boys raised their hands, and even Chris raised his hand a
    little.

    "Don't you hate it when you wet the bed, then you have to sleep on the
    hard floor with just a blanket?" I asked them.

    As I looked at them, I could tell all of them had done time on the
    floor.

    Cathy opened up the diaper bag and placed some samples down on the
    table for the boys to check out. When I looked around, I saw Chris
    talking to, I think one of the counselors of the boys home. As soon as
    he was finished talking, I went over to him.

    "You do it during the day?"

    "No!"

    "I can smell it Chris."

    "Once in a while."

    "See a doctor bout it?"

    "Yeah, said I'll grow out of it."

    "Get teased lots?"

    "Yeah, especially by the older guys."

    "Chris going to the same school this year?"

    "No, why?"

    "If you wore a school type, and a body shirt, no one would know but
    you, and the school nurse."

    "Why did you decide to work for that company Scotty?"

    "Needed money, and my mom couldn't afford to many disposables for
    school.

    "You got teased?" Chris asked.

    "Yeah, all the time, especially about being short. Most of the guys in
    my class have offered to walk me back to the kindergarten class.
    Thought I was lost or something."

    "Do those school diapers really work?"

    "Out of all the Jordan things I've tried, I like those the best. You
    couldn't tell I was wearing one.

    "But wearing a diaper to school ain't cool."

    "Think wearing three pair of underwear and leaking is cool?"

    "How did you know I was wearing three pair?"

    "I tried that myself in the second grade, and I saw your briefs while
    you were talking to that person."

    "That was my house parent I was talking to."

    "What's it like living at a boys home?"

    "It stinks, and I hate it."

    "Don't you have any parents?"

    "Just my mom, and she's a D.A."

    "D.A.?"

    "Yeah, drug addict. What about your parents Scotty?"

    "I live with my mom. My dad took a hike when I was two."

    "Scotty, are you going to introduce me to your friend?" Cathy asked as
    she walked up.

    "Yeah. Chris, this is Cathy…Cathy, Chris."

    "So what are you guys talking about?"

    "Just asked him what it was like living in a boys home, that's all."

    "Just as long as your not planning another bank heist Scotty." Cathy
    said joking as she walked away.

    "Hey Cathy, Ricky still got that bag he got at the gift shop?" I asked.

    "The one with the huge candy sucker in it Scotty?"

    "Yeah, does he still got it?"

    "Yeah, why?"

    "I need it for something."

    Cathy studied me for a moment before she said, "I'll bring it to you."

    As she left, I said to Chris, "Got a pamphlet here I was going to give
    to Rashid on Monday. It shows some of the things that Jordan makes. It
    has the net address, and a toll free number that you can get a hold of
    them anytime." I said

    "Here is the bag Scotty, and as soon as your finished, Bill is buying
    us lunch, and loud mouth is HUNGERY!" Cathy said as she handed me the
    plastic bag.

    As she left, I noticed the plastic bag had something inside of it. I
    opened it up, then put the pamphlet inside, and handed it to Chris.

    "What's this?" Chris asked as he opened the bag.

    "It's my size, small, but if you use a little tape, it should fit you."

    "Are these school diapers?" Chris asked in a whisper.

    "Yeah. Try them and see if you like them. Also, the plain colored body
    shirts are the best. They make a striped body shirt, but I didn't like
    the colors."

    Chris took me over to meet his house parent Mrs. Cutter, and then I got
    Chris's telephone number, and his address before I left to go eat
    lunch, and watch loud mouth feed his face.

    After we had lunch, Bill and I hurried back to the auditorium in time
    for the second lecture. It was all parents and their kids, and the
    parents wanted more information about Jordan Enterprises. I did very
    little speaking this time, as the parents asked Bill about the Jordan
    products.

    After we were thru with the last lecture, Bill took us to see the
    reptiles. Bill thought my mommy was scared of snakes, until the curator
    brought one out that we could hold, and my mom got to hold it. She told
    Bill all about the king snake and a lot of things about it that Bill
    didn't know.

    It was almost four o'clock when we decided to leave the zoo. Cathy saw
    that Bill and my mom were lagging behind and decided to wait in a
    little park just outside the zoo's main entrance. Cathy changed Ricky's
    soaked diaper, and when I knew no one was around, she changed my
    diaper. As I laid there, I asked Cathy how she knew that I wanted to
    give Chris a couple of the school diapers, and she just said she knew.
    When Bill and my mom caught up to us, Ricky had fallen asleep, and Bill
    carried him back to the S.U.V.

    When we got back to the apartment building, Cathy and Ricky said
    goodnight, then went upstairs to her apartment. Bill came into our
    apartment for awhile to download the pictures from his camera onto my
    mom's computer that he took of us at the zoo. When he left, my mom and
    I had dinner. As I finished dinner, I was getting tired, so my mom took
    me into my room and changed me into one of the super diapers, then we
    went out to watch TV. When it turned eight o'clock, my mommy told me it
    was time for bed. I was too tired to argue, and went to my room and
    then climbed into my bed. My mommy came in a few minutes later to tuck
    me in, and to give me the medicine Cathy had prescribed, a baby bottle
    filled with warm Pedisure. My mommy sat there feeding me the Pedisure,
    and reading to me, until I was almost asleep. I kissed her, then she
    kissed me goodnight, and as I sucked on the baby bottle, she turned off
    my bedroom light.
