Bonus Chapter: Stef’s 17th Birthday Present
Stef and Anette were now both adults and had chosen their paths in life, so the story of their childhood is coming to an end. We’ll conclude with what happened the day after Stef’s 17th birthday.
Stef and Anette took the city bus to the business district on the northern outskirts of Rindum. After getting off at the nearest stop and walking just under 100 meters, Stef entered the Rindum Care & Special Needs Shop, followed by Anette. They were greeted by a woman in her 50s.
“Welcome. I’m Emma. How can I help you today?”
Stef smiled and held out his hand. “Hello, Emma. My name is Stef. I’d like to look at a back-fastening onesie that I can’t take off once someone puts it on me.”
“For yourself?” Emma asked.
“Yes.”
“Mostly parents and caregivers buy that type of onesie, rather than the people who wear them. May I be blunt and ask if it’s to cover a diaper? They’re usually used to prevent children and people with disabilities from taking off—or sticking their hands inside—their diapers at night.”
“Yes, I experienced them being used for that purpose myself when I was six. I don’t wear diapers anymore—or rather, only when I feel like it. I just really like onesies. They’re comfortable, and I think I’ll like the feeling of not being able to take it off myself. It’s a birthday gift from my older sister Anette.”
“Okay. Let’s take a look at the selection. Please come with me.” Emma had never had this type of customer before, but she took it in stride. After all, a sale was a sale, and it would give her something to talk about with the other staff during breaks.
Stef and Anette followed her further into the store.
Emma turned to her right and said, “We have two main types. These have a zipper in the back, but no other features to prevent the wearer from taking them off. Some people can, but most can’t. It depends mainly on how flexible you are.” Then she pointed to a clothes rack on the other side of the aisle. “These models are more secure. There’s a carabiner to secure the zipper pull, and a flap that fastens over that with small buttons. I’ve never heard of anyone managing to take them off on their own.”
