The Washing Line Ben Pathen

Benjamin often rode past the house and saw nappies and plastic baby pants hung up on the clothesline out back. They called to him and he dreamed about them. Finally, he had to touch them and then, to take some. He was a teenager now and surely should know better, but the deep desires of his heart and loins called to the plastic pants and so he stole one. But he was caught... Now he had to spill the deep secret of his heart. He wanted to be a baby again. How would Miss Goodwin - his former teacher - react to that embarrassing admission?
