Chapter 18.

Momma and Derek come from the bathroom to see the chaos of clothes strewn all around and the boss man sitting in the middle of it wearing a diaper that now needs to be changed and screaming very loudly. The girls are on one of the beds playing a game of cards and the boys are on the other bed playing with cars and trucks. Momma and Derek look at each and laugh. The whole scene is ridiculous.

"Derek, go get on the bed and play with your brothers. David, Penelope, JJ what happened here?"

JJ answered, "The next hurricane of the season, Hurricane Aaron."

"Do you know why he did it?"

David responded, "He didn't want to just run around in a diaper like a baby but to wear clothes like a big boy."

"Is he a big boy?"

Penelope says, "Right now, I don't think so. Even though he is still the boss man, he plays his role as the baby very well."

"Was he acting his role this afternoon?"

Spencer chimed in the annoying little big brother mode, "No, he felt ashamed to be wearing a diaper and not being fully dressed. He wanted others to find clothes for him and when they refused, he started to take all of the clothes out of the drawers. He screamed when he couldn't find any to fit into."

Momma looks at her wayward little boy sitting in front of her. He was exuding irritation and anger about the situation. She picks him up and he begins to push away and squirms to get down. She smacks his well-diapered bottom; this shocks him into being still in her arms. She walks over to the window in the room and holding Aaron, they just stand there looking out the window. Quietly she says, "What do you say for yourself?" Insultingly, "Gaga, Goo-goo." "You are mad because I didn't dress you, just let you run around in a diaper." "Gaga, Goo-goo." "I did that for a reason, I wanted to see how you would react to just be fully treated like a baby. Babies don't care what they wear or if they wear anything. It is not unusual for them to run around in a just a diaper or nothing at all, especially in the summertime. You failed to maintain your role as a baby. They do not feel shame or guilt from running around in just a diaper. There was no need for you to feel those things. You were in the presence of your personal space with your older siblings around; did you think that they cared what you ran around in? Your siblings didn't care, but you weren't seeing them that way, you were seeing them as your team of agents. At this time you were not performing your role. I am very disappointed in that fact." "Gaga, Goo-goo." "I feel that you should be disciplined for forgetting your role, but I don't intend to do it today. I am giving you a warning, don't do it again. The reason why is because that although why you did it was against your role, your actions were actually quite babyish, your final act of screaming redeemed you. But if you step out of your role again, I will punish you. There are many ways I could do so. For instance, I could make you even younger and take away all ability to talk, walk or turn over. I could make you so young that the next time you teethe; it will be the first tooth you ever get in your mouth. I could make you so young that the umbilical cord hasn't dropped off yet. Don't mess with me boy, I am in control here. You do not have any say in the matter of what age you are or what you wear or don't wear. I might not even change your age except to make you your regular age again, take off your diaper and spank you, one smack for each year of your regular age and do it while each of your agents watch and if they look away, the count of smacks starts over. I would then re-diaper you and you would sit in the corner until I decide to make you a baby again. Are you beginning to understand?" "Yes mommy, I am." "Good now let us get you changed and dressed to go to dinner." She turns around and all the clothes had been picked up, it seems the others were quite busy during the talk of momma and baby boss man.

While momma changed and got the boss man dressed in a cute t-shirt that says little stinker and shorts, the girls got out their shopping bags and boxes. It was like Christmas as they handed out the things they bought the boys. David saw the thumb piano and mentioned that the only other time he had seen something like it was when he saw the one his grandfather had. Derek liked the action toys of Harry Potter and Spencer loved his circus set. Right now, Aaron is less than thrilled and just says "Gaga, Goo-goo."

"What?" say many of the children.

"Ignore it, that's just his way of saying I'm still mad at you mommy." He sticks his tongue out at her. She smiles indulgently. "What did you girls get yourself?"

All three chime in and say, "American Girl dolls."

JJ talks about her doll, Kit, a historical doll representing 1934 and Emily then talks about her doll called Emily, who is a historical doll for 1944. Penelope shows her historical doll of 1854 called Kirsten. They show all the different outfits of dresses and shoes and socks that they got their dolls. They also show the doll carrier backpacks they got for their dolls. Last they showed the final box, it is another historical doll called Rebecca representing 1914. They bought this doll for momma, because she had the same name and she kind of looked like how momma would have looked when she was a little girl. Momma is very touched by the girls' thoughtfulness and gives them a great big hug and kiss for the doll.

Penelope then shows the new dress she bought and some of the cute little clothes that they bought for themselves. Momma says then that it is time to get ready to go to dinner. She is taking them to the ESPN games restaurant. It is a place where they can eat and then go upstairs and play sports games, video games and generally have fun.

The place is about three blocks away and they walk to the place. Momma reminds the little ones to hold someone's hand when they cross the street. She had not expected that it was necessary when they were on the regular sidewalk and heading there and she did not bring the stroller. Aaron is still angry and irritated and thinks that if momma wants someone who doesn't think about where they are going but just goes without realizing that's its dangerous, then maybe that's what he should give her. He begins to run to the edge of the street and was almost off the curb when JJ got him and pulled him back. She whispers to him, "I really don't think you want to get her angrier with you." "Just trying to give her what she wants, a baby without shame or concern for safety or knows what is dangerous and what is not." "Do you really think that's what she wants from you?" He looks in JJ's eyes and says, "I don't know what she wants from me, I thought I did and now I don't know." Tears come to his eyes from the confusion that he is currently feeling as the baby fights the agent once again.

They arrive at the place and get a table, the waitress brings a high chair over for Aaron and they order whatever they want of the all-American fare, momma gets Aaron something easy and simple to eat and to drink from the sippy cup that she brought with them. After dinner, they head upstairs to the games; there are basketball, baseball, other ball games, a simulated rafting game, bike and truck games and a whole slew of different games. Momma got each of the older kids a card to use with many credits on them and each kid grabbed one of the younger ones. David grabbed Aaron away from momma and took him with him. Derek and Spencer go running off together and JJ takes Emily with her, Penelope went off on her own, leaving momma alone to wander and eventually watch as her children play when she comes to the game their playing.

She tries not to interfere with their play. She really enjoyed watching David on the speed bike with Aaron placed in front of him. Derek and Spencer looked great trying to get through all of the rafting levels. JJ was making lots of baskets, while Emily did her best to match her big sister. Penelope actually met a young man who was flirting with her in showing how to ride the ponies' game. Momma eventually went to the front and just waited for her little ones to tire out and get ready to head back to the hotel and go to bed. She was letting them decide that tonight. Soon JJ and Emily were walking over to momma, Emily was exhausted; she had done a lot of walking and did not have any nap earlier. She sits on mommas lap and curls up. JJ goes back and plays more games. The next to come was Derek and Spencer, both were tired and just sat next to momma and tried to keep their eyes open. Momma nudges Derek to ask him to go find Penelope and ask her to come there. He tiredly gets up and goes to find her; it only took a few minutes to find her with the flirtatious young man. She tells him to go away and he tells her that momma wants to see her. He looks at her with very tired eyes, she says good bye to her young man and goes to see momma.

"What is it momma?"

"Penelope, can you take these three little ones back to the hotel and put them bed. I don't really think that they should just sit here waiting for their big brother and sisters to finish playing."

"Momma, why don't you take them and I'll wait for the others, you look just as tired as they do today?"

"I am going to take you up on that, don't stay out extremely late, I want you back before midnight and here is Aaron's bag. I only have Spencer, Derek and Emily here. David still has Aaron and JJ is playing games herself."

"Okay, we'll see you later." Momma gathers up her three and leads them outside to head to the hotel. It takes very little time and before long, our three young bodies are in their pajamas and tucked into bed. Momma sits in her chair and waits for her other children to come in.

Back at the games place, Penelope finds her young man again.

The young man says, "I see you're still here, what did momma want?"

"She wanted me to take the little ones back to the hotel and put them to bed, but I convinced her to take them and I'll stay here with the others."

"So, you're still babysitting?"

"You have no idea how true that sounds. I have two brothers and a sister still here. Momma took the other two boys and girl with her. We will have to leave soon, I don't think that they should stay up too late, they are not very old themselves."

"Yeah, sometimes it's a bother being the oldest."

"You want to join me while I go check how they are doing?"

"Sure." The two begin to walk around and find JJ still tossing the ball around, but are having difficulty finding David and Aaron. She goes back to JJ and asks her to help her find them. Meanwhile, David is looking for momma, but is getting frustrated because he can't find her and Aaron is getting heavier in his arms. He finally sees Penelope and goes to her.

Penelope says, "Where have you been, I've been looking for you?"

He responds, "I've been looking for momma."

"Momma left to take the other three back to the hotel, they couldn't wait anymore. I see this little one is about knocked out."

"He needs a change."

"Give him to me and I'll go change him."

Aaron protests at that and says, "No, only momma."

"Momma is not here and I have your diaper bag." She takes him out of Dave's arms and begins to walk to the bathroom. Aaron wails and tries to get out of her arms. He almost hits his head on a chair but David grabs him before he gets there.

"Why don't I change him?" She hands him over the baby and the bag and he goes to the bathroom. "Now, Aaron, I am going to change you and then we will head back to the hotel. You are a very tired baby." He proceeds to place him on the changing table and cleans him up and places a dry diaper on him. While he is changing him, he notices the bottle in the bag and gives it to Aaron, who takes it. He just lies there and has no thought; right now everything is just on autopilot. The baby in him takes over and when David sits him up and looks at him. He is shocked at the sight. He picks him up and the baby puts his head on his brother's shoulder and continues to drink his bottle. David walks out to find the girls there waiting.

"We talked it over and think we should all head back to the hotel. I see you found the bottle and gave it to him. Do you want me to carry him?" says Penelope.

"Yes, could you take him; he just seems to keep getting heavier?"

"Well, you are only eleven and not very big yourself." She takes the baby from him, says good bye to the young man and they all walk out the door to head home. It doesn't take long until they are at the room. They enter quietly and see the others in bed and momma sleeping in the chair. Penelope puts the sleeping baby in the crib and JJ goes to get her pajamas on, while David goes to momma and gives her a kiss on the forehead. She awakens and smiles at her big boy.

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, it was great; thanks for taking us and for letting me have Aaron."

"Did he have fun?"

"Yeah, he had fun, but is very tired. We changed him before coming back and gave him his bottle. He's in his crib now."

"Good, give him his puppy and then get dressed for bed and climb into it." JJ got out of the bathroom, kissed momma good night and climbed into bed. David went in and put his pajamas while Penelope quickly put hers' on in the room. The two climbed into bed. Momma got out of the chair and checked on each head in the beds and then the one in the crib before heading to her bed and sleep.
