Danny had been using his diaper throughout the day when he needed to pee, and now, it was soaked. He needed a change. Danny headed into the employee break room. To his relief, Kristof was there. Sure, he could change his diaper on his own, but it was very difficult to do well. Having someone else do it made sure that the diaper was on properly and wouldn’t leak.
“Kristof, could you change me, please?” Danny asked. Kristof smiled at him.
“You got it.” Kristof picked Danny up and laid him down on the changing table. He pulled off Danny’s pants. “Wow, you soaked this diaper!”
“I drank a lot of coffee this morning.”
“Then you’re lucky it’s just wet.”
“Oh, I know. It was a near miss earlier,” Danny said, thinking about how he had sprinted to the break room and put his bare butt on the training potty just in time.
“Now feels like a good time for me to tell you something,” Kristof said. He removed Danny’s diaper and began to wipe him down.
“What?”
“Your job will be changing.”
“It will?!”
“Don’t worry, you’re not being fired,” Kristof said patiently. He threw away the baby wipe and lifted Danny’s butt to slide a diaper under it. “You’re just getting a different position.”
“Like a promotion?” Danny asked. Kristof taped his diaper on. “…A demotion?” Though Danny wasn’t sure how there could be anything below a Junior Product Demonstrator.
“Neither.” Kristof put Danny’s pants back on. “I’ve noticed that your job performance has been suffering lately. When that happens to employees due to an accidental permanent change, we give said employees new responsibilities to better suit their new abilities. It wouldn’t be fair to fire you, after all. You were just doing your job when you got stuck in training pants.” Danny sat up.
“All right,” he said warily. “What’s my new job, then?”
“You’ll be working for a toddler supply company that partners with our store.”
“What exactly will I be doing for them?” Danny asked. Kristof smiled at him.
“You’ll…”
