Dil We Meet Again
"Want some Dil?" Tommy said, holding out his hand. In his little palm was a red spongy wet thing. Dil considered his brother for a long moment… he wasn't for sure if he wanted the thing his brother had been eating. It seemed like whenever he tried to take something that belonged to Tommy he was punished.
~MC~MC~MC~
"It's working…" the creator said, rubbing his hands together.
~MC~MC~MC~
But finally he nodded and opened his mouth up, Tommy placing the cube inside.
Instantly Dil's eyes went wide with delight.
It was so wet! And yummy! It made him want to dance and squirm in delight! He smacked his lips together and began to coo. It felt like a yummy hug in his mouth!
"He likes it!" Tommy said happily, getting another piece of watermelon. He popped it in Dil's mouth, the baby drooling up a storm. Sticky juice got all over his face but he didn't care! It was so…Dil paused when he saw Tommy eat a piece.
"Mine!" Dil complained. It was his yummy food! How dare Tommy take it!
"We have to share, Dil," Tommy said calmly. "Its all of ours." He gestured at the other babies.
"Mine!"
Tommy though narrowed his eyes at that and said sternly, "Dil, I'm nots gonna help you have more if you don't share."
The baby opened his mouth… then stopped. His mommy was coming and he knew if he began to kick and fuss she'd take him away. And even if he didn't he couldn't reach the yummy food. So… some or nothing.
With a pout he allowed Tommy to have some of the watermelon.
"Oh, do you guys like that?" Didi said. "Well, we have other treats too. Mangos to start." She set a new bowl on the blanket in the playpen. Dil's eyes went wide before looking at his brother. If he had eaten all of the red cubes he'd be too full for the orange ones! Tommy was so smart! "Thank goodness we had them wear old clothing… they will be sticky messes."
"Eh, so will everyone else!" Betty said. "That's why The Creator made wetnaps."

"Actually that wasn't me-" The creator began only for Buddha to place a hand on his shoulder.
"Its fine," Buddha said with a sigh. "I'm used to it."
~MC~MC~MC~
And so the babies got to eat a lot of yummy food without anyone thinking someone had become a watermelon because that plot got reused a lot.
…though later that evening they learned gorging yourself on nature's tastiest laxative?
"Uh oh," Tommy said as he messed his diapee for the third time that night… while Dil screamed in terror, thinking he was never stop pooping again like last time.
Not a good idea.
