We got up at 7 in the morning. More like I got out of bed, as I really couldn't sleep well. I went to the bathroom, took a shower and got dressed. I came back into the room just as Carl pulled on his new pair of white briefs. I gave him a look as he had boxer briefs yesterday, but he told me that he wears both types.
During breakfast, Carl's mom mentioned how I looked very tired. I told her that I couldn't sleep. She asked me why not. Embarrassed, I said that I needed fuzzy wuzzy to sleep. I saw their blank stares and told them that fuzzy wuzzy was my teddy bear. Carl started to laugh and asked whether I was sure that I didn't need that pull-up. "What, you need pull-ups" asked his mom. "We could've given you one, I'm sure Jimmy's will fit". I tried to protest, but instead she said "Next time, I'll put you in one so you won't have to be scared of an accident and you'll be able to sleep without any worries".
Carl's mom drove us to school. During the half hour trip, I fell asleep in the car. As we pulled up, I see Carl's mom closing my knapsack. "I put a pullup inside your knapsack, in case you fall asleep and have an accident", she whispered. "I don't need it", I said, "I don't have accidents". "It's just as a precaution", she said, "you don't have to wear it". "But it's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. With that I went to class.
The science fair was fun and due to our hard work, Carl and I won 3rd place. It was a really exciting day that I completely forgot about the whole mishap from the morning. I couldn't wait to show off my trophy.
When I got home, my mom took my knapsack from me. She wanted my clothes from inside, so she could start on the laundry. As she took those, I ran upstairs to change out of Jimmy's clothes that I was wearing. I was wearing just my mickey mouse briefs, when I went to hand my mother the clothes. That's when I saw her holding a matching pull-up.
I gave her a puzzled loom, wondering why she was holding one of my pull-ups. When she told me that she found it inside my knapsack. I turned bright red, remembering the morning's events. I then proceeded to tell her the story. She understood Carl's mom's reaction but said that she'll call her to explain everything She handed it to me and told me to put it away, together with my other ones. I took it from her and went to place it with the half a package that I had left over from my last episode of strep, 4 months earlier.
