"I feel a little silly. It's embarrassing but..." you pause. "It also kinda feels nice. Like... um.. safe. Like I'm not so tough but it doesn't matter because there's someone who'll take care of me." You look at her, blushing a little. "Does that make sense?"
"Yes." she smiles. "Boys on Earth don't get to show weakness. They are expected to be tough all of the time. Boys on Obaasan don't have that problem. It's hard to be tough when you need your mommy to change your diapers."
"I guess." you agree.
Susan lets herself into your room. "Aunty Kate is taking us all out to dinner."
"Okay." Rebecca says. "I'm almost ready."
"What's that?" Susan asks, pointing at the plastic mat on the floor.
"It's Peter's changing mat." Rebecca answers simply. "I had to change his diaper."
"Peter's still in diapers?" Susan asks. "Isn't he a bit too old?"
"All of the boys on Obaasan wear diapers." Rebecca informs her.
"Really?" Susan asks with a laugh. "Does that mean Daniel will need to wear diapers too?"
