Instead of the crinkly field of white of a diaper you are dismayed to see the toddler boy wearing a blue trimmed pull-up decorated with lion king designs.
This was not what you wanted, you wanted your host in disposables not training pants and visibly frowned while the crowd shared a light grasp at the reveal.
Meanwhile your host beamed with pride as he showed off his trainers, "That's right ladies and gentlemen I finally graduated to pull-up and am now learning to use the big boy potty" he announced as he reached down to adjust his big boy underwear, doing as the name suggested and pulling them up a bit making sure they were snug.
A few "awws" followed a small round of applause for the little boy's accomplishment. You on the other hand didn't like how the audience's loyalty was shifting to the host. This was not what you wanted at all.
It became slightly worse by what the other toddler said next.
"Yep no more diapers for me" giving himself a thumbs up before patting the front of his underwear, "I go peepee and make poopoo in the potty and not in my pants like a baby, no offense to our guest of course" he said flashing you an apologetic smile. However the brief chuckles that followed the statement only served to embarrass you and make you angry.
Averting your gaze you look down and noticed a plastic potty chair on the floor next to the host's chair. That was last straw as you didn't particularly want to see the boy use it. It had been fine when it was you but not him.
Checking the phone a sentence pops into view.
"The little boy brags to the audience about being in pull-ups."
Without hesitation you made the edit that would fix this whole unforeseen situation.
"The little boy brags to the audience about being in diapers."
Glancing at the regressed host you see his training pants have now become a thick looking diaper which covered his lower half. Gone were the lion king designs replaced by sesame street ones that adorned the padding that spread the boy's legs apart.
"That's right everyone I'm glad I'm still in diapers. I love going peeing and pooping in them and then getting changed. I'm never giving them up to use the potty. I'm gonna stay in diapers forever!" the toddler exuberantly announced to the world, flaunting the babyish garment taped to his bottom.
In response the audience burst into uncontrollable laughter at the outrageous declaration including you as rolled onto your back clutching your sides. You even wet your diaper a little bit at hearing a 3 year proudly admit to wanting to stay in diapers, despite you feeling the same.
Recovering several seconds before the crowd you notice the host is still standing with a smile on his face despite the humiliation. Though his cheeks had a faint redness to them that suggested embarrassment.
You contemplated the other toddler's emotional state when an uncomfortable look crossed the young boy's face.
