The Orphanage

                                                             The Orphanage

On a sunny afternoon, mommy pulled me aside and told me that she could no longer

Take care of me and that I was going to be taken to one of the orphanages in town.

Mommy then took me inside, to my bedroom to have my wet diaper changed and to get me all cleaned up and ready to go to the orphanage. I was quickly brought into my room, helped up onto the changing table then as I laid on the changing table, mommy unfastened the tapes of my almost soaking wet disposable diaper.

Once she had my diaper opened, she pulled it down, tucked the front down some and then she began to pull the diaper out from underneath me. Then, without rolling the diaper up, she tossed it right into the 32 gallon Rubbermaid trash can that was being used for the diaper pail. Then, Mommy opened the wipes container and then took out quite a few wipes, using each and every one to clean me up with, wiping me all over my entire body.

Then, she tossed the used wipes into the diaper pail before she reached up to the diaper stacker that was hanging on a nail just over the changing table and took one of my thick, bulky disposable diapers out and began to prepare it to put on me. Before she put it on me, she took out six rather thick booster pads and then started to peel the protective adhesive papers from each one as she placed each one into my diaper. Once all six were in place, mommy shook a lot of baby powder into the diaper before she lifted my bottom up and then slowly sliding the diaper underneath me. Then, she pulled the front of the diaper up and began to gently smooth the wings over each of my hips. Then, She began to fasten the two tapes on each side of my diaper making sure that they were nice and fastened snuggly. Then, Mommy inserted her two index fingers into my leg elastics and ran her fingers along the whole length of the elastics to make sure they were facing outward and were nice and snug. Then she helped me up and off the changing table before she took me over to my clothes dresser where she took out a white onesie, a t-shirt and then she closed the drawer and then opened another drawer and took out a pair of denim shorts then she closed that drawer and then opened one of the top two drawers and took out a pair of socks. Then she went and sat down in the arm chair so that she could put all of my clothes on me.

Mommy pulled me closer to her then she took the onesie and then opened it up and then put my head through the neck hole and then helped me put my arms into the arms of the onesie. Then she worked the rest of the onesie down before she fastened the snaps. Then she took my shirt and then she did the same thing that she had done with the onesie, with my shirt without the snaps. Then Mommy helped me step into my shorts before she pulled them up and fastened the button and zipped up my zipper. Then, Mommy pulled me into her lap and put on my socks and then she reached down and put each of my slip-on shoes on. Then she stood up and then called for my older sister and my older brother to come in and gather up all of my clothes, left-over packs of my diapers, and any cloth diapers, clean and or dirty, as well as any of my plastic pants, and put them into my suitcases and trash bags.

Mommy-Diane: (Yelling down the stairs to my older brother and older sister) Can you two come up here???? (The sound of my sister and brother running up the stairs and coming into the room) Can you two pack up all of your little brother’s things please? Put all of his clothes into the big suitcase and all of his clean cloth diapers and plastic pants into the other suitcase and then put all of the 30 packs of disposable diapers and all of the left-over loose clean disposable diapers into the trash bags then I will need you to take them down to the car and put everything in. I will come and check everything to make sure it’s all in here before you take it all downstairs. Said mommy.

A half hour later, mommy went upstairs then came down carrying two suitcases full of my clothes and my clean cloth diapers and plastic pants and my older sister and my older brother came down carrying two bags of my unused disposable diapers.

Mommy-Diane: (To my older sister and older brother) Go ahead and put those into the car, the trunk is already open, then come back and put the two suitcases into the trunk then close the trunk and get into the backseat.

Then my sister and brother did as they were instructed to do and then my brother came back to get the suitcases and he put them into the trunk then closed the trunk then got into the backseat where he put on his seatbelt. Then Mommy came downstairs, carrying my diaper bag that was also full of lots of clean disposable diapers and booster pads as well as 12 of my clean and folded cloth diapers that she planned on using inside of my disposable diapers at a later point but never got to use them. Mommy guided me outside to the front porch, through te front door so that she could lock the front door, then she took me by my right hand and then guided me over to the passenger side of our car.

Mommy opened the door for me, then helped me into the seat then she buckled my seatbelt for me then she tossed my diaper bag down into the floorboard in front of me before she closed the door. Then mommy walked around to the driver’s door, she opened it and then she got in and closed the door. She put the keys into the ignition and started the car, put it into reverse and backed out of our driveway and into the street.

It was a long drive out to the orphanage, the orphanage was way out on the outer edge of town, and there was no one even close to the place for at least five miles in any direction around the place. The city soon transformed from a noisy metropolis to a desolate and eerily quiet seclusion as we finally drove down the long dirt road that led to the two-story old and run-down orphanage up on top of the hill. After five minutes of driving down the dirt road mommy drove across the cattle guard that also had a large old faded sign that read: “Welcome to Destiny Orphanage.” Mommy drove up to the 2-foot high red painted cement wall that had a small flight of stairs going upwards, and parked as close to the stairs as possible. Then she turned the car off and then opened the door and got out, pushing the seat lever so that my older sister and brother could get out and get my things from the trunk and carry them into the orphanage, while mommy came around and opened the passenger side door and then unbuckled my seatbelt and then helped me out of my seat and onto the ground. My thick, fat diapered butt rustled with every step underneath my light denim shorts. My butt looked SO big and puffy that the back of my butt swayed back and forth in a rather unusual way.

As my brother and sister brought the suitcase and trash bags full of my diapers and clothing, mommy brought my diaper bag and I up the stairs and down the short walkway that led into the front of the orphanage. Mommy-Diane opened the front door and then made me wait beside her while she held the door open for my older sister and brother who carried my suitcases and two heavy trash bags into the lobby of the orphanage. Then mommy put her left hand onto my shoulder so that she could guide me through the doorway as she followed me through and into the front lobby before she guided me over to a set of connected chairs. Mommy made me sit down in the second one from the end to the right of her as she sat down in the end chair to wait for whomever it was that was going to greet them and get me checked in.

While we waited, Mommy reached down to me then made me stand up and then she brought me between her legs so that she could do a last diaper check on me before I was to be left there. Mommy dropped my shorts to my ankles then she lifted my shirt so that she could fasten the buttons in the crotch of my onesie before she raised it up a little bit so that she could insert her index finger into my left front leg elastics to feel the inner liner for signs of wetness. Then she turned me around and then pulled the back waist of my diaper back just enough that she could peer down inside to see if my diaper was still clean, which it was. Then she lowered the tails of my onesie and then refastened the snaps and then lowered my shirt down and then pulled my shorts back up before making me sit down again.

Both Megan and Toby (Toby is the director and Megan is the co-director) walk in

Toby: Hello, so you’re our new little boy

Toby: and this is Megan ... she will help you up onto the counter

Mommy-Diane: Yes, he is.....I am Diane, Jake's mother....Nice to meet you.

I can't take care of my youngest, I already have two other kids, meet my second oldest daughter, Abbey and my oldest son, Tom. I am leaving my youngest here today.....

Toby: Well that’s sad to hear, but that is what we are here for?

Mommy-Diane: I am here to drop my son Jake off. I brought all of his five dozen cloth diapers and ten printed plastic pants and all of his clothing….and they are in the two large suitcases. The two trash bags have his left-over 30 packs of his disposable diapers and any remaining loose disposable diapers that were in his nursery.

Toby: now Diane, you know that once you leave little Jake here, it's for life .. he can't go back? This is a very serious and profound decision, we want to make sure you're not going to come back next week changing your mind.

Mommy-Diane: I am certain about my choice here....I can't financially afford him.....don't get paid enough to feed and diaper him....

Toby: I understand…Now ... his health ....I see quite a few of diapers here ... he's still wetting is he?

Mommy-Diane: Well, he is 20 pounds underweight, and can't keep weight on him....and he wears thick disposable diapers or four layers of cloth diapers because he is a VERY heavy wetter.

Toby: Oh dear! He's going to make a lot of work for Megan!

Mommy-Diane: He talks a little bit but if you upset him...get starts to talk more and more as he gets more stressed out.

Toby: In the last 24 hours, how many times have you changed him?

Mommy-Diane: I have changed him over 6 times. I also use these thick booster pads in his diapers to keep his diapers from leaking.

Toby: I can see why!

Mommy-Diane: Some days, I even have to use a couple of layers of cloth diapers first before I put him into his disposable diapers

Toby lifts little Jake up and puts him on the counter.

Jake looks into the man's eyes....then he looks down at his mother.

Mommy-Diane: Do I need to sign any custody papers or anything?

Toby: Yes ... (hands Diane the clipboard with the documents over) If you could initial each page, and then sign at the bottom

Mommy-Diane takes the clipboard and starts looking them over.

Mommy: Sure... (Said Mommy-Diane taking out a pen from her purse.)

OH...I also have his diaper bag here around my right shoulder....don't let me forget to give it to you.

Toby: Hello little boy, now as you’re new here, we write your name on your diaper.

Mommy Diane initials and then signs the documents.

Toby takes the heavy and well filled trash bag.

Jake stays sitting on the counter, watching what is done with all of his things.

Mommy puts the clipboard up onto the counter and then puts the diaper bag down next to the clipboard.

Toby: (Taking the clipboard back.) Well thank you and good luck with the rest of your family.

Mommy-Diane: Thank you...I think things will be better for a while. I will come back and bring either of my kids here if I need to in the near future....Come Tom and Abbey, time to go home.

Abbey: You mean....you are just going to leave Jake here???

Mommy-Diane: (to Abbey) Yes....I am...and you won't see him again i don't think.

Then the door closes and they all walk out to their car, get in and drive away.

Jake: (To the man writing his name on his diapers) Hey mister....what is this place???

Megan: This is an orphanage ... do you know what that is ?

Jake: NO....what is that???

Toby: sometimes mommies and daddies can't always manage a huge family, so ... the littlest ones come here ... and we try and find them a new mommy and daddy

Jake: Oh...is Mommy coming back????

Toby: now ... let’s put your name on your diaper shall we?

Jake: Will I ever see my mommy again?

Toby: (gets a big sharpie pen out.) Mommy’s gone ... but we'll find you a new one

Jake: Why?? Why do you put my name on my diaper???

Toby: It's because we have lots of little boys here, and we don't want to get you confused now... let’s put the date on too.

Toby: Do you know what a date is?

Jake: Date? what is that???

Toby: The date is to tell us when you came in. We can't keep little boys too long, or we'd be over flowing. Now ... have you wet yet? (Toby pushes a finger down under Jake’s waistband)

Jake: OOOOH...what are you doing??? That feels funny!

Jake: So if you don't find me a mommy in time, what do you do with us???

Toby: I'm seeing if your pee-pee is wet or not. Your mommy says you wet all the time!

Jake: I can't feel when I wet....or not....

Toby: it'll be ok .. you don't need to worry, we'll make sure you’re fine now.

Jake: I am???

Toby: you seem dry enough ...

Jake: How long will I be here?

Toby: Go and take Megan's hand. She will take you through for some food ... did you have breakfast today?

Jake: Mommy didn't have time to make breakfast.... so we didn't eat.

Toby: Awww ... can't have that can we?

Toby: Does that happen a lot?

Jake: NO...My sister and brother go to school and they always eat before they catch the bus. I get a bottle of whole milk that mommy gets for free at the food bank, for me,

and I get whatever the food bank place gives us. I only know it because mommy told me what that place was called.

Toby: You see? This, is why mommy has left you here!

Toby: Well, never mind ... go walk through with Megan, and she'll give you a nice big meal that will make little Jake a nice big strong boy.

Megan: Hello, (looks down at the big stuffed diaper ... Jake)

Megan takes me off of the counter and puts me down onto my feet. She then takes my left hand and then leads me out of the front lobby, down a hallway and then into a large dining hall.

Megan: I'm Megan ...can you say Megan?

Jake: Me...gan....Miss? What is that man going to do with my clothes that he took off of me???

Jake: Is tat your name???

Megan: close enough ... (gives you a little hug) ...now ... I bet you'd like some milk and food, but 1st we have to weigh you.

Jake: Why??? miss Me...gan

Megan: well .. if you've been missing meals, your probably underweight, and thats not healthy ... I can see your ribs, so ...

Megan: lets find out

Megan: now ...

Megan lifts Jake up….in front there is a little set of scales, with a big stainless steel weighing bowl.

Jake: Jake: Miss Me...gan? Miss? what is that man going to do with my clothes that he took off of me???

Megan: Those? well we have to inspect them, and then boil wash anything that’s not properly clean.

Megan: can't have you bringing in anything nasty to the other children can we

Jake: Where am I going to sleep?

Megan: You'll have your own crib

Megan: Your diapers? ... well ... we share those with all the orphans

Jake: I get my own crib?

Megan: yes Jake

Jake: Jake: but...those diapers were for me....

Megan: now ... let’s get you weighed shall we

Jake: Jake lets Megan weigh him

Megan lays Jake down into the big weighing bowl on top of a nice thick and puffy clean white towel. The machine bleeps and a little printer pushes out a receipt.

Megan: now ... we need another without the diaper on don't we?

Megan: (undoes the front of Jake’s diaper, and pulls it out from underneath.) Try not to pee now

Jake: Ok Miss I won't

Megan: Good boy! Just stop wiggling now and we'll be done.

The Scale goes: *beep*

One of the maids comes in to tell Megan something about two other boys.

Maid: Megan? um sorry to disturb you, but the janitors are asking if it is ok to take the two boys out

Megan: Oh ... now I have to go and sort out 2 very naughty boys ... you stay right….there.

Maid: do you want the janitors to take all of their clean cloth and disposable diapers too,

or should we leave them for the remaining boys in the nursery?

Megan: *ponders*

Megan: No, I think Jake’s new donation means we're overstocked now. Tell the Janitor to put all those diapers out with the boys.

Maid: so...it's ok to dispose of the cloth diapers and the disposable diapers with the boys? Oh....are the two boys going to get changed first or can we take them wearing what they have on? One has a clean dry thick bulky diaper on and the other has a semi wet diaper on.

Megan: *looks at watch*

Megan: The Trash men, they'll be here any moment, no they can be put out as they are ...

Maid: ok, Off they go!

Megan: Make sure they don't leave a mess behind like last time too.

Maid: Oh...certainly no problem

The maid leaves. Megan comes back over to tend to Jake.

Megan looks down into the weighing bowl…gasps!

Megan: How could you!!! You naughty boy!!! Look at this mess!!!

Jake: I told you I can't tell if I am going to wet or not

Megan lifts Jake up out of the now rather wet weighing bowl.

Megan then picks Jake’s diaper up and empties the liquid into the diaper, and then somewhat angrily puts it back on.

Megan: Well, you will just have to learn!

Jake: Megan...why are you putting my diaper back on if it's wet??? It's COOOOOLD!!!

Megan: Good!!! You’re more than old enough to be able to hold your pee for more than 5 minutes. (Megan smacks Jake on his diapered butt.)

Megan: I bet your mother panders to your every last whim doesn't she? well we don't here ....

Jake: But...I am told that I was born so that I can't help it

The sounds of the janitors hauling the two boys out to the trash cans is heard as they come down the hall. The boys are screaming and resisting as they struggle to get free and escape.

Jake: Miss Me...gan? Why are those guys in the brown suits doing that to those boys? Why are they screaming? Why are they tearing those boy's clothes up as those boy's struggle? That looks like a large trash bag....that those ladies are dragging out after those boys!

Megan: That’s what happens to naughty boys little Jake!!!

Jake: Where are they taking them???? What is “disposed of” mean and why don't those boys want to be...disposed of????

Megan: They go out to the trash men ... and that’s all their diapers and clothes going out with them! We don't want them anymore, so ... the trash truck will solve this "little" problem.

“Disposed of” means….thrown away.

Jake: How long have they been here?

Megan: One week

so .. you'd better start to learn not to pee like that all the time or the same will happen to you

Megan: and you don't want that do you??

Jake: NO!!!

Jake: But I can't HELP it!!! I can't stop! I don't have control!!!! So is that going to happen to me then?

Megan: don't be scared, it might be fine

Then one of the Janitors comes in and finds Megan then opens the door a crack and asks:

Janitor: Megan? Would you like to watch them being disposed of so that you can verify their disposal or should I just mark them off the inventory list?

We are just about to load the two boys one at a time.

Megan: Well we have a very naught boy here ... you take him out to see what happens, I'll go mark them off the feeding time list.

Megan Hands Jake over to the janitor

Jake: NO! PLEASE!!! Don't dispose of me!! PLEASE!!! I just got here!!!

The janitor comes in and picks Jake up and takes him out of the room holding both of his arms as he struggles.

Jake: NO! STOP!!! I don't WANT...to go out there!!! What are you DOING!!!!

Jake: Please!! Don't take me!!! What is that loud machine doing!!! STOP! It scares me!!!

The trash truck pulls up to the set of 6 96 gallon trash cans with 4 32 gallon aluminum trash cans that all contain cloth diapers, cloth and disposable diapers and training pants as well as lots and lots of onesies, footed sleepers, shorts, socks and holey, ripped, torn up shirts that were still wearable before they were tossed into the trash can. The diaper collection truck starts to empty the first of the 96 gallon cans into the hopper. Then it puts the first now empty can down and then they take the second one and then tip it and empty it.

The third can has a thickly diapered girl wearing only her diaper, zip-tied to the handles and she is crouched behind the can still trying to get her hands free so that she can try to escape the trash men. The trash man comes over to the can, sees the girl tied to the handles, takes his knife out and cuts her free while holding onto her arms. The trash man then forces the girl over to the side of the truck and then he picks her up and tosses her into the hopper on top of the two 96 gallon cans worth of diapers. Then he starts the compactor then goes and takes the fourth can and then dumps it in as the compactor is just in the middle of its cycle. The diapers spill out on top of the packer blade and a few even fall out and on to the curb.

The trash man then takes can 5 and then dumps it in as well as the packer cycle is just about fully retracted. The diapers fall into the hopper and then the man puts the empty can down and takes the last large can and dumps it. Then the other trash man takes the first of four 32 gallon trash cans and then dumps it in and then hits the compactor button. The compactor cycles and crushes all of the diapers into the back of the truck then the second man takes another can while the first trash man takes the third can and then they both dump their cans into the hopper after each one is done. Then the last can is picked up and quickly dumped in and then the empty can goes back down and then the two men walk over to where the other set of trash cans is.....and they wait for the driver of the trash truck to pull up to the cans before they start getting the first can ready to empty.

The trash truck pulls forward and the first trash man gets one of the overly stuffed 96 gallon trash cans ready to empty. The truck stops and then the man hooks the can up to the tote flipper and dumps it. One of the maids and two of the janitors are standing about 2 feet from the side of the truck with each of the boys. The trash man takes the first boy who is struggling to get free and lifts them up and tosses them into the hopper. Then the other trash man dumps in one of the 32 gallon trash cans full of wet cloth diapers, then they start the compactor. As the packer is cycling, the first trash man dumps another overly stuffed 96 gallon trash can into the hopper on top of the blade. Meanwhile, standing about 5 feet away, with Megan: holding Jake, Megan: tells jake what is going on.....Megan hold Jake’s hand tightly.

Megan: Now little boy .... you see over there

Jake: Jake: yes Me...gan

Megan: That big truck over there ... that’s the garbage truck ... that’s where all the poopy and wet diapers go.

Megan: you see that big man there? he's the garbage guy

Megan: his job is to take everything in those big tote's and put them inside the garbage truck

Megan: he doesn't care what’s in there, and he never even has to touch it ,... it's just tipped in ... then when it's nice and full

Jake: Jake: Why are they putting all of those packs of diapers? Aren't they still clean???

Jake: Do they care what the boys are wearing???

Jake: Are you going to do that to me????

Megan: we get too many sometimes, so ... we throw 'em out ... can't have too many around or we'd run out of space ... we don't care, we get dumb shit parents like your's giving us more all the time

Megan: maybe ... depends if new mommies like you or not

Jake: When do the new mommies come to look at us?

Jake: Do you dress us up when they come?

Megan: tomorrow

Megan: we make sure you got a nice clean diaper on, and in your best looking onesies

Jake: ok.....

Jake: So, what did those two boys do???

Jake: why are THEY being thrown away???

Megan: no mommies liked them, so ... off they go to the trash heap ... thats what happens to old trash

Megan: and little boys that mommies don't like ... their trash

Megan: just like all those diapies

Jake: LOOK! Their diapers are bunching up!!! All of those packs of diapers are pressing up against the backs of their diapers!!!! Why are they crying?

Megan: ahh that’s the compactor working

Megan: ya see you can't fit that many in a truck, even that big, so it's got a big cruncher inside it, which squashes everything down, really small

Jake: Why is that little girl in pigtails being brought out here???? Why are they ripping her clothes??? That man just RIPPED that POOR girl's onesies off of her..now her onesie is torn!!! That diaper she is wearing looks VERY thick!!!

Megan: no one wanted her too

Jake: DANG!!!! They just tossed her into the truck and BIG puff of smoke came from her! Why is that girl's diaper smoking?

Megan: oh she's dirty trash now .. no point messing around, they can toss her away, no one cares about those clothes anymore

Megan: heheh ... must have just squashed her diapie ... bet they put a ton of powder in here ... look it blew up just like a big balloon ahahah

Jake: They don't care about the babies? Do they check the diapers before ehy get thrown away?

Megan: care? no we get waaaay to many through to care ... why do you think we write ya name on your diapie? we can't remember you all

Jake: That is SO MEAN!!!

Jake: Please don't let this happen to me!!!

Jake: I don't WANT that to happen to ME!!!!

Megan: better look good for the mommies

Jake: How does that work? Do you throw them into a diaper pail inside their nursery or are tehy taken out to the trash after their diaper is checked or do you even check their diapers at all before they get thrown away?

Jake: After the Mommies come and go, do you throw away any of the babies that they don't want????

Jake: right away or do you wait a little bit?

Megan: yeah ... more than a couple visits and if they've not gone, we just drop 'em in, along with their belongings

Megan: no one wants 2nd hand baby stuff do they?

Jake: The trash men throw in a stack of large black trash bags full of wet disposable diapers and clean cloth diapers and once the pile is in the truck the truck drives awy to teh next stop.

Jake: Jake: I don't know Miss Me...gan

Megan: it's up to ... uncle Toby who stays and who gets thrown

Jake: Megan: takes Jake back into the orphanage

Jake: What is going to happen to me now?

Megan: lets get a meal in you, and see if you can stop pissing your diaper every 5 mins

Jake: NO...I can't stop that...I told you, I can't help it....

Jake: I was born this way

Megan: I don't care!!!!

Megan: if you’re a handful you’re going ... so ... better be good!

Megan walks you back to the dining room and puts you in to big baby chair and straps you in*

Jake: This highchair is kinda dirty!

Megan: yeah ... we don't have time to clean up too much, just sit in it, your diapers dirty anyway ...

Megan: now ... can you feed yourself, or do I need to spoon you?

Jake: No, I don't know how...

Jake: What are you going to give me???

Megan: ok ... let’s start you off on a nice big bowl of cheerios.

Megan puts a baby bib on Jake.

Jake: What is this??? I have never had one of these on me before....

Megan: No? Wow your mom must have been poor, it catches all the food you miss and drop

Megan: now ... open wide

Jake: ahhhhhhhhhhh

Megan spoons up a nice big spoonful, and pushes it in Jake’s Mouth.

Jake: Grrroooom!

Jake: (Sounds of crunching and chewing is heard)

Jake: Jake swallows...

Megan: ok .... a couple more, then we can burp you

Jake: ARRRRRRROOOOM: Jake swallows

Megan: good boy .. see we're getting most of it in

Megan: a couple more ...

Jake: ARRRRRROOOOOM Chomp, chomp, chomp....

Jake: Jake swallows

Megan: good ... hope you liked that?

Jake: ARRRROOOM Chomp, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp....

Jake: Jake Swallows

Megan: now ... (lifts Jake up and out the chair)

Megan: (pats Jake on the back gently) Are you going to make a nice big Belch for me?

Jake: BUUUUUUUUURP!

Megan: Now ... let’s get you changed then time for your nap.

Megan: We've got mommies coming around later and we don't want you all sleepy do we?

Jake wets his diaper more.....and a little bit trickles out of the right leg elastics and onto Megan's Blouse.

Megan: Uuurgh couldn't you have waited 2 more minutes?????

Jake: No Miss Me...gan

Jake: I can't help it!

Megan puts Jake down on the changing table.

Jake: What kind of diapers do you use on us babies???

Jake: Cloth? Disposable? or both?

Megan: So, for you disposable!

Megan: Well, you seem to be real hefty wetter, so I think we'll double diaper you! Don't want you leaking out into your crib do we?

Jake: Where are those thick things that my mommy puts into my diaper that make if feel so much thicker?

Jake: She told me she was leaving all of them here with me....

Megan: Yeah .. they're here

Megan undoes the front of Jake’s diaper.

Megan: We put in little newborn baby diapers sometimes to help with absorbency.

Jake: New born baby diapers? Disposable diapers?

Megan: Yeah ... all disposables, then a nice big cloth one over the top

Megan: keep it from all falling off

Jake reaches out to the counter right next to the changer that has a stack of cloth pre-folds that are folded up and grabs one. It unfolds and Jake starts to play with it.

Megan: heheh. You like playing with them don't you?

Jake: No, I don't like playing with them...I am just used to playing with something while I am being changed.

Jake: Why are they so....thick and heavy???

Jake: Jake reaches out and grabs one of the plastic pants....

Megan: Now put that down, it's not for you!!!!

Jake: Why are you putting the cloth diaper on the outside? Mommy always puts the cloth ones inside my disposables...

Jake: I am 6 years old...see? THAT many....

Megan: Awww clever boy .. you can count a bit, now ... if only you could hold your pee pee bit better

Jake: What are these for???

Megan: Those stop you making a mess on the floor, if your diapie leaks

Jake: Oh....ok

Megan reaches for the cloth wipes and wipes all around.

Jake: How come I saw the trash men dumping two cans worth of the plastic pants and cloth diapers into their truck with those poor boys and girls???

Megan: now ... can you lift your bum up a bit?

Jake: are they disposable?

Jake tries to lift up

Megan: yeah ... it's all disposable ... we wash the cloth ones a few times, but we don't keep them forever!!! Just like little boys .. they get worn and get holes ... then we rip some of them up into rags like this one for wipes, but most we just throw out into the trash!

Jake: The cloth diapers??? how about the plastic pants?? Why did the trash man take two trash cans full of them and dump them into his truck? Are the plastic pants disposable?

Jake: Does that big trash truck come every day?

Megan: yup all of it ... and yes every day, all these kids make for a lot of trash Jake. We have a special service from them, to take and dispose of any boys or girls who don't get placed. You belong to the orphanage now!

Megan slides new diaper underneath little boy's butt, and drops in a couple baby diapers as soakers.

Megan pulls up the front of the diaper, and pulls the bulging tabs nice and tight to get the diaper to fit.

Jake: Where are you going to put me now?

Megan runs a finger down and around Jake’s leg elastics.

Megan: hmm ... not a very good fit ... let’s put another one on top, just to be sure!

Megan goes to the shelf and selects a 8-10 year old diaper, and puts it under. Then Megan fastens the tabs and feels again.

Jake: why two disposable diapers? I have never had to wear two diapers before???

Megan: Well whatever your mom was doing before, it wasn't enough was it? look at my blouse! Got to make little boys leak proof!!!!

Megan grabs up the old one, along with all the soakers and drops them into the huge floor standing pail.

Megan: Now ... let’s get a nice big cloth one and put it on top. Mommies like cloth diapered kids more ... makes them look adorable.

Megan gets a nice clean and fluffy diaper with a little embroidered bear on it out and slides it underneath, then she pulls it up around the front, and does up the sides with little snappies.

Jake: Then one of the nursery techs opens the door a crack and says:

Nursery Tech: (To Megan) Megan? One of the girls has taken ill...she has a fever and is unconscious....she keeps wetting her diaper badly too. Do you want me to dispose of her and her diapers and clothing or do you want me to wait for you so you can look at her first?

Jake: Jake: I can't put my legs together!!! Now I can't walk!!!

Megan: No, but you don't need to walk, it's time for you to sleep Jake.

Megan: (Megan turns around) Um ... is it #553 again?

Nursery Tech: yes....she was put down into her crib and then she won't wake up again....she has leaked onto her crib sheets and blankets too.

Megan: right ... yes put her for disposal then ... and make sure all her diapers, clothing and personal effects are too, we don't want her spreading infection.

Nursery Tech: Ok...do you want me to bag her up in a trash bag? Oh, By the way, Which Crib are you planning to put the new one into? Crib #552 is empty and so is crib #554. Those two also have locking tops and they are the metal cribs.

Megan: #554. Yeah bag her and be quick about it!

Megan picks up Jake and follows the tech out.

Nursery Tech: GOOD...I will move all of the dried up old disposable diapers into the crib's corner for ya....to go prepare crib #554.

Jake: I don't WANNA go to sleep!!! Do I have to??? I wanna play!!!

Jake: I wanna go outside and play on the playground I saw outside!!!

Megan: tough

Jake: WAAAAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Megan: scream and holler as much as you like it won't get you anywhere!!!!!

Jake: I wanna PLAYYYYYYYY AH WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Jake: WAAAAAAA!!!!!

The Nursery Tech unlocks Crib #554’s locking top then she raises the top for Megan so that she can put Jake down inside.

Megan: Got it unlocked? Yes…good! Thanks.

Megan dumps little jake into the crib then locks the top.

Jake tries to sit up but finds that he can't due to the fact that he can't even make his legs work because his diapers are so thick!

Jake: UH! Falls back onto his back

Jake: WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Jake: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Jake: WAAAAAAAAAAA! Ah, Ah, AH...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Jake: Then Jake turns over and starts to fall asleep.

Jake: Waa! Waa!

It was merely two hours later when Jake was awakened, taken out of his crib and carried over to the room’s diaper changing table over by the eastern wall of the big room.

The nursery tech looked at Jakes super puffy diaper and then refused to even attempt at changing it.

Nursery tech: (To Jake in a babyish tone) I’m sorry little Jakey poo…I am not going to change your diaper…but, I am going to remove this cloth diaper and toss it out with you. Now it’s time to put you into our diaper pail for disposal! The maids and the Janitors will come in shortly and start to clean. Then the maids will take out all of the trash and dirty diapers from this room and then once they have done that, they will simply bring you over to the next room that they clean and take the diapers from and more diapers will be tossed into their trash cart. Then they will bring their full cart down to the basement where the janitors are and leave it with them for the Janitors to take outside to the trash truck early in the morning.

Then the nursery care tech takes the cloth diaper off of Jake then drops it onto his chest then picks Jake up and carries him over to the large and half-full diaper pail. The nursery care tech opens the lid to the diaper pail, then she lays Jake on top of the loose, unrolled, wet disposable diapers and the few formerly wet cloth diapers that are ripped and torn and are being disposed of.

The Nursery Care Tech then lowers the lid as Jake starts to cry and try to get up. The Care tech quickly closes the lid and locks it so that Jake can’t get out. Then she walks away to go get Jake’s wet disposable diaper pail and bring it over to the larger trash can near the door, to empty it into the larger pail. The Care Tech quickly opens the lid, and quickly empties Jake’s 11 gallons worth of his loose, wet, unrolled, disposable diapers into the larger 32 gallon trash can then quickly closes the lid again and re locks it.

Jake: (Inside the 32 gallon trash can full of wet diapers.) WAAAAAA! Don’t throw me away!!! WAAAAAAAAAA! Where are you going to take me???? Why are you throwing me away???

WAAAAAAAAA!

As the lid was closed and locked, Jake’s Cries couldn’t be heard from under all of the wet diapers from across the large room. As the whole day progresses, more and more diapers are tossed into the 32 gallon diaper pail near the door. Then at 4:45 pm, the maids and the janitors some by to start cleaning and taking the trash out.

Sandra is a curvy slightly heavy janitor of Latino background wearing tight lycra pants and a tan top.

Sandra: Hello Jason you called me over?

Sandra was very happy and energetic all the time.

Jason: Yes, here is the clipboard of your duties for today.

Jason: We have 6 babies being disposed of today and lots and lots of diapers and clothing being disposed of today as well.

Jason: There is ONE in particular that I want done....his name is Jake.

Jason: He is a new comer to this facility. He JUST came in 48 hours ago. The director wants him disposed of.

Sandra: why?

Jason: He is in Nursery 2....I don't know.....The director told me personally to get Jake disposed of....he didn't give a reason.

Sandra: I thought we would show him the new mothers coming in today? Then dispose if he is not wanted.

Jason: Take two or four of your crew with ya if you like and have them go and help you empty out all of the diaper pails.....

Jason: but the director already wants him disposed of because he is a heavy, heavy wetter and leaked wetness onto Megan's blouse and that made her come to the director who ordered his disposal

Jason: The trash truck comes each and every day.

Sandra: so no showing to the mommies then

Jason: NOT for Jake....his fate is sealed.

Sandra: oh ok

Sandra: thought he was so cute though

Jake: He was....but he was dropped off and his own mother didn't want him because he wet some much

Sandra: as i open a large black trash bag to put into my big can on wheels

Jake: OH...by the way...don't forget...the manual side loading trash truck comes at 6 pm today....

Jake: be sure to have all of the trash out by no later than 5:45 pm

Sandra: sure will boss

Jason turns and goes into his office to write up the inventory check off list. Before he has to go and get the trash taken out from the diaper pantry and the laundry room.

Jake has been asleep for over three hours now and his diapers are slightly damp now since he had nothing to drink lately.

Sandra starts emptying diaper pails into the large trash can and I hear diapers hitting the bottom thump, thump, thump

can after can is dumped in to my rolling trash can, then some office trash with soda cans, paper waste is dumped in. I chat with some of the employees in the kitchen as I pass it on way to nursery 2.

Jake: NONE of the disposable diapers are rolled up for disposal ever....they are just folded over when disposed of.

Jake: (Inside the 32 gallon trash can full of wet diapers.) WAAAAAA! Don’t throw me away!!! WAAAAAAAAAA! Where are you going to take me???? Why are you throwing me away???

WAAAAAAAAA!

Jake: As the lid was closed and locked, Jake’s Cries couldn’t be heard from under all of the wet diapers from across the large room. As the whole day progresses, more and more diapers are tossed into the 32 gallon diaper pail near the door. Then at 4:45 pm, the maids and the janitors some by to start cleaning and taking the trash out.

Sandra walks over to the can. Sandra opens the lid and pushes the trash down a little.

Jake: UUUUUH!

Jake: HEY!!! stop that!!!

Jake: What are you doing??? PLEASE let me out?????

Jake: What are you doing????? Miss...who are you??? Why am I in here????

Sandra: Oh my name is Sandra: and I work here.

Jake: What are you doing? Why are you pushing all of this down??? Aren't you here to let me out???

Sandra: not letting you out, I am here to take out the trash.

Jake: but...but...I'm not trash!!!

Sandra gets a huge trash liner out

Sandra: I am sorry Jake, you are!!!

Jake: Hey! What is that bag for???

Jake: Look! They diapered me in this super, bulky disposable diaper that makes it so that my legs can't go together!!! They used a LOT of powder too! They even put my new packs of diapers in here and all of my cloth diapers and plastic pants as well as all of my wet diapers too!

Sandra: that’s for this can once its empty.

Sandra: the she picks up your can and start to dumping it into the trashcan she brought

Jake: HEY!!! HEY!!! UUUUUH!

Jake falls with the diapers into the can that already has some trash but Jake tries to fight to the top of the pile. Jake falls into the can and then gets covered by all of the diapers that were under him.

The avalanche of diapers stops.

Jake wrestles his way back to the top. He tries to climb out of the can, but gets hung up with one leg and half of his body over the edge but can’t get the rest of the other half of him out of the can.

Sandra: I am sorry jake, I am just doing my job.

Jake: MISS! PLEASE!!! Can you let me out????

Jake: I am a good boy....can't you just take me to get washed or something????

Jake: Can't I go to see if I can be taken by a new mommy?

Sandra: nope you leaked on Megan so you are garbage!

Jake: WAAAAAAAA!!!!

Jake: WAAAAAA!!!!! I don't wanna be garbage!!!!

Jake: I still have a clean diaper on!!!

Sandra: Well, you are trash! You will be going to the landfill with all our stinky trash!

Jake: NO!!!!!

Jake: What’s that!!! What's a Landfill?????

Jake: Is that a bad place????

Jake: How am I going to be taken there???? Will YOU...be taking me there????

Jake: Miss Sandra.....Do I get to have my diaper changed if I wet too much????

Jake: What are you doing with that Big bag????

Sandra: this big bag is going out to our large trash bins outside to the trash truck tonight.

The can starts rolling again.

Sandra: Now we are off to the kitchen to take out the trash there...fun right?

Says Sandra as she chuckles and puts on a big smile.

Jake: Miss...do I get to have my diaper changed?

Jake: Can I please ????

Jake: How come am I being taken out tonight????

Jake: I don't wanna go to the kitchen!!!!

Jake: I wanna go back to my room!!!

Jake: Jake falls back down onto his open, wet diapers and he falls into two diapers that are open and facing upwards and when he falls into them, the diapers kind of close around him and wrap themselves around his chest and sides

Sandra: then you get to the kitchen

Jake: Jake is laying on his back now

Jake: MISS????? Hey Miss!!!!

Jake: Where are you going?????

Sandra: then soon all sort of kitchen trash starts raining down on you...coffee filters, apple cores, Styrofoam cups

Jake: Spaghetti noodles and two baby bottles of milk

Jake: HEY! EEEEW!!!!

Jake: STOP that!!!! STOP tossing this stuff on me!!!

Jake: UUUUH! Now I am dirty!!!!

Jake: Miss!!!!

Jake: Miss!!! Why are you tossing all of this stuff on me?????

Jake: UUUUUH!

Some of the coffee filters fall against Jake's chest and then slide down into Jake's Waistband of his diaper. The spaghetti noodles fall all over Jake's diaper and his chest and get into his hair.

Sandra: soon it stops and we head out of the kitchen.

Sandra: toward one last nursery

Jake: Miss....Oh MISS!!! Can I please get out now????

Jake: I have pudding and Spaghetti and these weird paper things all over me!!!

Sandra: yes that’s what happens to trash.

Jake: Can I please get out???? Can I get my diaper changed????

Jake: Will you be giving me to the trash men????

Jake: Or will you just leave me in one of those large things full of diapers????

Sandra: Your bag will be tossed into the cans outside, no diaper change required. That would be a waste of an extra diaper.

Jake: OOOOOH!!!! But...can't I have one of these diapers from the packages that are in here?????

Sandra: Nope! I am not digging those out! They are garbage!!!

Jake: HEY!!!! Those look like my onesies!!!!

Jake: Where are you taking me now miss????

Jake: Hey...why are you slowing down?

Jake: Where are we???

Sandra: Oh we are heading outside.

Jake: When are we going to the other nursery???

Jake: I heard you tell that other person that you are headed to the other nursery......

Jake: What does that mean??? Does that mean more diapers are going to come in here????

Sandra: Yes that’s on the way.

Jake: HEY!!! Stop pushing down on me!!!!

Jake: Why are you pushing down on me!!!!

Jake: STOP THAT!!!

The can stops, more diapers drop in on Jake

Jake: UH! UH, UH!!!

Sandra pushes and packs Jake harder in there.

Jake: STOP THAT!!!!

Jake: HEY!!! Those look like clean cloth diapers!!!

Jake: HEY!!!! That was a couple pairs of nice plastic pants!!!

Jake: Why are you tossing those unopened packs of Pampers and Luvs in here?????

Jake: UH!!!!

Jake: I can't see you now miss!!!!

Jake: I can't move now!!!

Jake: Let me up!!!

Jake: HEY!!!! Those were wet disposable diapers!!!

Sandra: Well this is the last time you see me Jake goodbye

Jake: HEY!!!! NO!!!!

Sandra unroll the bag from the rim of the can and start gathering it

Jake: please don't.......

Jake: What are you doing????

Sandra then gathers it together above Jake.

Jake: HEY!!!!

Jake: Why are you doing that????

Jake: EEEEEW!!!! Now it stinks in here!!!!

The bag closes above Jake then Jake hears plastic on plastic and a cinch as the bag is closed quickly and two knots are tied back to back.

Sandra: Ah!!! Done!!!

Jake: HEY MISS!!!

Jake: Where are you taking me???? Stop!!!

Then the can starts to roll outside. Soon Jake feels the cooler air outside.

Jake: HEY!!! It's slightly colder out here!!!!

Jake: I can't see where you are taking me!!!!

Jake: What is that large blurry thing????

Sandra: doesn’t respond to Jake any longer.

Jake: HEY!!!!

Jake: I am NOT TRASH!!!!

Jake is quickly being rolled out as Sandra meets her supervisor who is helping her gather the other large garbage cans and bringing them to the parking lot for the trash men who should be here any minute.

Jason has just come from the laundry room and the diaper pantry where he collected a trash can worth of old torn cloth diapers and 200 pair of old plastic pants and the laundry room tossed out over 700 cloth diapers, old torn clothing, onesies, and footed sleepers. One of the cans isn't bagged up that came from the laundry room. Jason meets Sandra out at the 4 96 gallon trash cans to empty out what he collected.

Jake can hear the garbage truck at a distance as it approaches.

Jason: So, did little Jake give you any problems Sandra????

Sandra: He talked a little too much!!!! Nice to get rid of him!

Jake: Miss...Hey Miss...What is that loud sound and all of that loud thumping I hear????

Jason: I really didn't think the director was going to keep him for too long anyhow.

the truck pulls up to the curb out in front of the Orphanage and stops. Two ladies get out of the cab and start to grab the first two 96 gallon trash cans which they empty right into the hopper.

Sandra: I guess it’s sad no one will miss him.

Jake Is that thing here for me???

No one hears Jake.

Sandra: let’s throw Jake in first!!

Jason: Ok that is fine...

Sandra rolls the can up and the garbage can over closer to the side of the trash truck then simply lifts the bag out and tosses you into the trucks hopper, everyone has already forgotten about you

Jake: HEY!!! What are you doing???? STOP THAT!!! UHHH!

Jake: Stop that!!!!

Two more bags land on top of Jake’s bag, then two more then Jake hears the compactor roar to life.

Jake struggles in the bag and the bag starts to move and wiggle.

Jake: HEY!!! What is that???? What is happening??? HEY!!! It's pushing into me!! Make it stop WAAAAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAA!!!!!

Sandra sees the bags get compacted and disappear inside the side loader. Then, more bags get added as the next can is tilted and emptied in the hopper. Jake is soon gone.

Zoe and Sadie are the trash ladies and they thank Sandra for helping out as they continue to load the lodal trash truck with the trash.

Jake, inside the container, is having the diapers and the trash around him packed tightly against him and his diapers buckle up and mash against him. Quite a few of the diapers end up around his face with their liners pressing against his face, with the wetness squeezing out of the wet cloth diapers

Jake's Bag has also popped now, spilling him and some of his diapers out into the container.

Sandra: Hahah, he is trash now!

Jason: We still have a few more subjects to take out by tomorrow. One that is being taken down to the laundry room to get washed.....the rest of the rejects from today's showing will also be getting disposed of. Tomorrow's load will require us to take a larger trash cart

You will also need to bag each subject up individually and fill their bags with diapers....there are four girls on today's list that didn't make it into today's load.

Sandra: Hahaha never ends!

Jason: NOPE.....our jobs never end here.....

Jason: We are constantly getting subjects in and this place doesn't hold on to their subjects for more than a few months at the most.

Sandra: it’s sad but someone has to do it.

Jason: Yea...I kind of like my job! Sometimes, I take a subject and I take their clothes off so that they are wearing only their diapers. I LOVE doing stuff to the subjects as I do my route each day.

Jason: I once had a subject that had on a very dirty, stained up footed sleeper and he needed to have it taken off...I took it off and he was wearing the THICKEST diaper I had ever seen!!!

His diaper was SO thick, he wasn't even able to walk!!!!

Sandra: haha

Jason: I had to put him into my cart after putting him and his diapers into a large trash bag.

You know those diaper disposal bags?

Jason: I once had a girl that was wearing one over her diaper!!!

Jason: This girl had on a perfectly thick and saggy disposable diaper and then her nursery care tech comes over to me and asks if the girl needed to be dirty.

Jason: I told her that I am taking this girl whether she is dirty or not and I don't CARE what she has on.....

Jason: I just like to watch their diapers getting bunched up is all which is the reason I take their clothing off.....

Jason: I asked her nursery care tech why she had a diaper disposal bag over her diaper and the nursery care tech told me that she didn't want her diaper to leak while she was in the trash!

I told her that she didn't have to do that...and that if her diaper leaked, it was ok!!! That was what the trash bags were for!!!

Jason: So Sandra, how will you feel about the other subjects??? What will you do if any of them are wearing onesies or footed sleepers???

Sandra: Toss them in the trash…?

Jason: You KNOW, you CAN have some fun with them....you CAN strip them down to jus their diapers or you can...shove things down into their diapers.....

Jason: I once saw one of the nursery care techs shove used wipes into the front of the subject's diaper before they tossed them.....
