Part 1: Grandma is alone on the 120 acre farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. The grandparents are older now and farm work is limited for this reason. Grandpa is an expert with growing crops, some say he has a green thumb. Grandpa went to a convention to speak on growing better than average crops.
The old 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story farmhouse has been resided to look newer and protect the structure. Grandma has a new SUV to drive since town is 20 miles away. Grandpa will be gone a full month with many lectures scheduled and this provides some extra income for the family.
Ring – Ring, “Hello this is Doris Davis speaking,” she said, “how can I help you today?”
“Doris this is your mother speaking,” she said, “daddy went out of town for a month to lecture at a farmer’s convention.” “I hate being alone and wonder if you can drop my grandson Harry off to spend the month with me.”
“This is unexpected mom but I am sure I can convince Harry to stay with you,” Doris said, “He just had a birthday and is 18 now.”
Doris Davis is divorced and lives with her son Harry who is an adult now. Her mother is Grace who is Harry’s grandmother. Doris has decided to bring Harry even if he don’t want to go.
“I can’t believe the little fella is 18 years old now,” grandma said, “I have not seen him since he was 12 and still wet the bed.”
“No need to worry about that mother,” Doris said, “Harry has been dry overnight since those days.” “I will get some things packed and leave for the farm as soon as possible.”
“That is wonderful honey and you can stay and visit for as long as you wish,” Grace replied, “see you late this afternoon.”
The phone call ends and grandma is happy. Doris lives in Little Rock, Arkansas which is a 6 hour drive. She gives Harry the unexpected news and he is not happy. Harry had plans to use the neighborhood pool and have fun. Mom told Harry the news at the table after getting the sleeping boy out of bed at 9 am.
“Sorry Harry but I have some unexpected news,” mother said, “grandpa is out of town for a month and grandma wants you to come and stay with her.”
“Oh no! I was planning on swimming and getting some sun this summer,” Harry said, “my buddies will be expecting me.”
“They can swim and have fun without you,” mother said, “You can still join them after a month goes by.”
Harry is convinced he has no choice about this and eats breakfast. Mother made ham and eggs with toast and a glass of orange juice. Both of them eat and clean up afterward. Mother packs a suitcase for Harry and an overnight bag. Doris packs just an overnight bag for herself. Today is Saturday and she will stay with her mother 1 night and get back home Sunday.
“The car is loaded sweetie and we need to get going,” mother said at 10 am planning on getting to the farm around 4 pm.
Harry is wearing dark blue shorts with a light blue pocket t-shirt. He wears white tube socks with tennis shoes and white boy’s briefs. Harry was born premature leaving him small for his age. Harry did not grow any bigger than a 5 year old. His body hair and facial hair did not grow in like most 18 year old males.
“You are only 4 feet tall and weigh 60 pounds,” mother mentions as they leave for the farm, “the same size as when you last visited grandma years ago.” “I told her you are an adult now age 18.”
“Ok mom then she won’t be treating me like I was much younger like I appear to be,” Harry said with a smile.
The trip is mostly highway driving and there is not much traffic. Harry complained about how grandma diapered him before bed the last time he visited at age 12. Mother explained that she only did this because Harry wet the bed back then. Nothing like that is expected to happen this time.
“Relax Harry, I told mother you stopped wetting the bed not long after your last visit,” Doris said about half way to the farm.
They pass several gas stations but left with a full tank. Harry insists there is no need to stop for a bathroom break. Doris is fine and does not make any stops. Grandma lives 20 miles from town which is in the other direction from the farm. The last 60 miles of their journey is deserted roads.
“Mom I need to use the toilet to pee,” Harry said suddenly.
“Too late to stop now since we passed everything miles ago,” Doris stated, “You can hold it for about an hour and we will be there.”
“Ok mom, I think I can do that without too much trouble,” Harry said realizing the situation.
Finally they arrive at the winding road leading to the farmhouse. As they approach the home a clothes line is seen with lots of prefold cloth diapers hanging in the sun. There is a modern barn and tool house in the background. A second clothes line is seen with plastic baby panties hanging out to dry. This is upsetting to Harry who is surprised to see this. Even worse Harry had difficulty holding his pee and wet his pants some as they approached the farm.
“I see your grandmother is doing laundry,” Doris said, “She must have had a toddler girl visiting recently.”
“Umm mom, I tried to hold it but at the last minute peed my pants a bit,” Harry said, “I still need to use the toilet badly.”
“Oh no!” Doris replied, “I hope the car seat is not soaked.”
