You know how young children get attached to something, like a blanket or a pacifier, and it is really hard to get them to break the habit? Well, I recall having an attachment to diapers. I was potty-trained, so it wasn’t that I needed them as much as I just liked wearing them. Maybe I liked the support. Maybe I liked the comfort. Who really knows. The point is that I didn’t want to stop wearing them.
This wouldn’t have been such a big deal if I hadn’t been 15 years old. Do you know how hard it was to find diapers that fit a 15 year old? Well, you can’t. I had to just tape several of them together. Changing in the locker room after soccer practice was interesting, but I think when it really became a problem was when I started dating.
