"I know this is important to you." you say to her.
"It's important to all of us." she says. "Moving to one of the colonies means a better standard of living and a better education and future for you and your sisters."
"Okay." you reluctantly decide. "I'll do it."
"Thank you Daniel." she hugs you. "I know this is difficult to accept but I think you'll get used to it."
"Yeah." you try to sound optimistic. "It's not like the other boys can tease me about it because they'll all be in diapers too."
It's not long before your sisters find out about the strange rules on Obaasan.
"Guess what I heard." Rebecca says at dinner a few days later. "On Obaasan Daniel has to be a baby."
You turn red and look to your mother for help.
"He's not going to be a baby. He will just be wearing diapers." your mother says. "And you girls are going to have to help take care of him."
"What?" Stephanie asks. "You mean change his diapers? Ewww."
