As Tina watches her teenage stepdaughter, sucking on a pacifier and sitting in a diaper, she discovers, to her surprise, that she is not upset by this turn of events. After all, Leah looks like she’d fit right in at daycare, which Tina loves working at.
Once Tina realizes that Leah looks like she belongs in daycare, she can’t shake the idea. Yes, Leah is a teenager and should be going to high school. But who knows how long this phase of Leah’s might last? A high school isn’t equipped to change diapers, and Leah would be bullied for using a pacifier.
Tina leaves the living room to make a phone call. Leah continues to watch TV, unaware that her stepmother stopped by. She feels the need to pee, but not wanting to miss any of her show, uses her diaper instead. Tina comes back just as Leah is getting into a small squatting position to better wet herself.
“I’ve definitely made the right decision,” Tina says. Leah startles. Still peeing in her diaper, she looks over at Tina.
“What ‘sishin?” she asks, her words lisping around her pacifier. Tina walks over and scoops Leah into her arms. She tickles her stepdaughter, making Leah giggle and wet herself even more.
“To take you out of high school and put you in daycare, sweetie!”
“Weawy?” Leah asks eagerly. Tina nods.
“Someone who uses binkies and diapies doesn’t belong in high school. Until this phase or whatever it is ends, you’ll be coming to work with me.” Tina tickles Leah again. “Now, let’s have some dinner, and I’ll explain what I have in plan for you.”
During dinner, Leah listens eagerly as Tina tells her what she can expect her life to be like for the foreseeable future. Leah will be treated like usual at home, but in public and at daycare, like the toddler she appears to be.
“You still need to wear a diaper at home,” Tina says. Leah nods. “But other than that, you have your regular freedom and responsibilities.”
“I still need to do my chores?” Leah asks, disappointed.
“You can fold laundry and do the dishes while wearing a diaper and sucking on a pacifier,” Tina says.
“But-”
“That’s the price of being allowed the independence of a teenager, Leah. Trust me, you don’t want me to treat you like a real toddler all the time. You won’t have any freedom to do anything! You’ll understand after the first few times we go in public and to daycare.”
“Okay,” Leah mumbles reluctantly. They finish dinner. “Now what?”
“Well, I was thinking we could go for a quick walk to the park,” Tina says. “To get you used to being a toddler in public. How does that sound?” Leah, feeling the need to poop, empties her bowels into her diaper with a loud fart. Tina laughs. “I’ll take that as a yes. Let’s get you changed, then we’ll go out.”
Tina takes Leah to the bathroom, where she removes Leah’s poopy diaper, wipes her down, and tapes a fresh diaper on.
“Let’s leave you naked except for your diaper,” Tina says. “After all, little girls regularly run around wearing just a diapy.” Leah, a bit unsure, nonetheless nods. “So, we’re going to walk to the park. How do you want to travel there?”
“What do you mean?” Leah asks.
“I can push you in a stroller, carry you in my arms, carry you in a baby carrier, or you could walk alongside me, holding my hand. Which do you want?” While Leah thinks, Tina brings her back to the living room and pops Leah’s pacifier into her mouth.
After a few moments of pacifier suckling, Leah’s made her decision.
