It was a sight to see in the bathroom. All 3 brothers in the same bath, there was water everywhere, on the floor, on the walls, even the towels that were hanging up ready for the boys were soaked. There was more water out of the bath than in it. But the boys were having so much fun splashing around, they didn’t notice the mess they were making. It was only when their mother came in the bathroom did they notice the extent of the mess around them.

“What on earth are you boys up to ?”screamed Julie. It was then, that John poked his head in the door to see what the commotion was about. John was flabbergasted at the sight that he saw.

“What do you think you are doing in here?, Look at the mess you have made.”

“Sorry Daddy “, cried Sam.

“We will clean it up we promise” exclaimed Mark.

Mitchell nodded in agreement. The boy knew they were in trouble. Both the twin were starting to cry as they just realised that they would be might miss getting their special surprise.

“Well then all of you get your arse out of the bath and start cleaning up the mess with the towels that you were meant to dry your self’s with and make it quick.” John snapped at them. Julie left the room to get some fresh towels. Returning in a flash with 3 fresh towels for the boys to dry themselves with.

“Ok boys dry off first, then you can wipe down the bathroom and I want it totally dry before you leave this room” Julie demanded.

Julie went to find John, who was busy in Mark and Mitchell’s bedroom folding the diapers that they would be wearing that night. John had placed the diapers laid out on the bed ready for the boys when they came in. John thought just in case he would place a towel over them to hide them. John thought he would leave it as a surprise til the last moment. If things went to plan, the boys would be both in their diapers and plastic pant before they knew what they were wearing.

“John, how are we going to do this?” asked Julie.

"Well since it was my idea I will always look after the boys at bedtime ok All you have to do is just back me up on what we are going to do to our little ones.”

Julie agreed to back up John with everything that was going to happen. She had told John already that she will let him make the decisions regarding helping the boys stop wetting the bed. It was agreed that Julie, would wait with Sam in his room helping him into in his pyjamas, then tuck him into bed and wait until Mark and Mitchell were in their diapers before telling Sam about what his older brothers were wearing from now on.

Both John and Julie went back to the bathroom to check on the progress of the boys.

The bathroom was thoroughly dry when they got there. Both Mark and Mitchell were

whimpering. Then Sam all of a sudden starts to cry out loud.

“Sorry Daddy it won’t happen again” Sam cried with tears pouring down his face.

“Enough of that, young man! Stop your crying this instant. You’re crying over nothing”

“You have cleaned it all up now. Will you go with Mummy and get ready for bed ?”

“Ok I will. Are you going to come in later and tuck me in ?”Sam asked.

“Yes son I will come in later, I just have to deal with your brothers first.”

The twins didn’t like the sound off that. They both wondered what he meant by ‘deal with’. They then started to cry out loud.

“Were we bad, Daddy ?” Mitchell asked in a sad voice.

“Are we still getting our surprise Daddy” cried Mark

“We were having so much fun that we forgot about the splashing.” Mark continued.

“Now boys, I know you didn’t mean it. Just calm down and wait for me outside your bedroom door, I have your surprise waiting for you.” whispered John.

Making the boys wait outside made them more eager to find out what the surprise was. And these boys loved surprises, though this was one surprise that would become a shock to them both.
