It all started when Pierre was visiting Irving Meadows Elementary for a quick lesson on teaching the students the wonders of music as well as teaching the alphabet, numbers and shapes.

Before he started his lessons on music, he met all of the students that were in class today, such as Amber, Davey and Shawn. But one student was a fox cub named Marshall. As he and Pierre shook hands and got to know each other, Marshall's large ears picked up a certain familiar sound as Pierre walked towards the front of the classroom. Was that a crinkle coming from beyond Pierre's overalls?

As Pierre began to teach his lessons on music by playing various instruments such as a guitar, drums, trumpet, and piano, Marshall quietly sneaked towards the back area where Pierre was asking questions from the class, and out of Mrs. Nuttkins' sight.

While Pierre was still answering questions from the class, he then asked a volunteer to help him out on the next lesson. That's where Marshall stepped forward and stated that he'll be happy to assist him. But little did the polar bear cub knew that Marshall secretly had a pair of scissors hidden behind his back. When Pierre turned away from the fox, Marshall quickly snipped off the single strap that was holding Pierre's overalls together.

All of a sudden, there was a loud *SNIP!* The next thing that the entire class remembered was once Pierre's overalls drooped down to the floor, everybody was laughing and cheering all of a sudden. That's when Pierre learned in horror that his secret was revealed. For taped around his waist was a thick crinkly DIAPER! While the class was laughing and Marshall was taking his bows at his naughty stunt, poor Pierre was so embarrassed that he wanted to break down and cry.

Unfortunately for Marshall, Mrs. Nuttkins did not approve with his naughty little trick. And she punished the fox by making him stay in the corner for an hour while the rest of the class went to recess. Once his punishment was over, Mrs. Nuttkins made Marshall apologize to Pierre for his little stunt.

As Marshall walked towards Pierre, he noticed that there were tears in Pierre's eyes and he was sniffing and whimpering. He also noticed that Pierre's thick diaper was now wet and soggy. That's when Marshall started to regret his little prank.

Marshall walked up to Pierre and gently gave him a hug.

Marshall: "Hey Pierre. I'm very sorry for snipping off your overalls. It was wrong for for me to do a vicious prank on you."

Pierre: *whimpering* "Why would you do that to me? What did I ever did to you? Now every cub in this classroom knows that I'm still in diapers."

Marshall: "Well, when I heard that familiar crinkling from your overalls, I knew that you're thickly padded. But you don't have to hide your secret shame. That's the real reason why I cut off your overalls."

Pierre: "But I'm supposed to be a well-educated child. I know how to read, write, remember the alphabet and numbers, and know how to play musical instruments. But much as I tried, I could never seem to graduate from potty training. That's why I'm still in diapers because I still have accidents from time to time. I was so embarrassed about it, I have to wear those overalls to hide my crinkly secret. But now everybody knows that I'm nothing more than a big baby that can't stay dry!"

Marshall: "Pierre, listen to me. Just because you're still in diapers doesn't mean that there's nothing wrong being a big baby. Look at me. I never learned to potty train at all and I wear diapers 24/7. However, I love my diapers so much that every now and then I need the urge to have some much needed baby time. I'm a proud big baby. I use my diapers like a big baby, play like a big baby, sleep in a crib like a big baby, and have my meals in a highchair like a big baby. So once in a while, it's okay to be a big baby. And what you need is let out your inner big baby and have some cub out time."

Pierre: "But all the students will laugh at me."

Marshall:"No they won't. Half of the students are still in diapers like you and me. And if they ever did laugh at you, I'll make sure they won't. So do want to be my diaper buddy?"

Pierre: *sniffs softly as he pauses silently* ... Okay. I guess I can give it a try and be a proud big baby."

Marshall: "That's the spirit Pierre! Now let's get you into a dry diaper. You're completely soaked!"

And so after Mrs. Nuttkins gave Pierre a diaper change, he sat next to Marshall for some cub time. Marshall gave him a baby blanket and a pacifier and the two played like two big babies throughout the rest of the school day.

And Even though Pierre was a little embarrassed playing with a big baby like Marshall, he soon realize that Marshall was right. All he needed was to release his inner big baby self and have some much needed cub out time.

And since that Marshall has him as a friend, Pierre doesn't have to hide the fact that he still needs diapers anymore. Sure he's made the jump start from learning his ABC's and 123's and being an expert in music. But Pierre has learned that even if you failed in potty training, there will always be a friend to watch your back. With Marshall at his side, Pierre has finally accepted to be a well-educated big boy and to be a proud big baby at the same time.
