Jake: the plan

I woke up to my phone alarm going off because I had a plan to enact. I'd always been curious about diapers, what they felt like to use and such but I was never able to get my hands on one due to living with two brothers that would tease me for eternity if they found out and having a mom with no job so doesn't leave the house as much. But today I finally have  the perfect opportunity.

My mom and both of my brothers are going to the beach for the day so have already left at 7:30am in the morning and aren't coming back until 8pm at night. This means I have the perfect opportunity to go to my local shop and buy a pack of drynights. After putting on a T-shirt and trousers, I grabbed my money, got on my bike and rode away.

At the shop

I checked my watch and read 12:22.
'That's good' I thought 'It's dinnertime so there's not gonna be many people here'
I walked to the centre of the shop and walked down the middle looking at the signs to see if I could find the diapers section.

'Of course it's right at the back' I said
I eventually reached the diapers in question: Huggies drynites. I picked up the girl's pack because I didn't like the sporty design on the boy's and thought that the flowery pattern looked better. I quickly walked to the self serve queue hoping no one would recognise me and thankfully no one did.

After waiting in the queue for what felt like an eternity, I scanned the diapers and:
'BEEP BEEP please scan again'
'This can't be happening' I thought
'BEEP BEEP PLEASE SCAN AGAIN'
"Please" I said out loud "please work"
'BEEP BEEP CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE'
"It's happening" I said feeling downtrodden.
Before I knew it, a blonde woman who looked to be about 50 walked over to me. She scanned her card on the machine and said with a cheery voice "now try!"
I scanned the diapers one last time and:
"PLEASE PLACE YOUR ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA"
'Thank god it worked' I thought.
"Thank you!" I said to the lady. "Have a nice day!"
"No problem!" she responded. "You too!"
I deposited my money in the machine, grabbed my receipt, put my diapers in my backpack and left.

As I was biking home, I thought to myself, 'that was exhilarating. I can't wait to get home and try them on'
