Annie was a little foxie who lived in a big house with her Mommy, her Daddy, and her baby brother. She was four years old, and very proud of being a big girl! She could get dressed by herself, she could go down the big slide at the park, and she even knew how to use the potty! Well, most of the time. We'll talk about that later. One day, Annie was getting ready to go to the park with Daddy. She was getting her velcro shoes on all by herself when she smelled something very, very stinky! "Heeheehee, ewww! Mommy! Arthur's poopy!" She giggled, pointing at her little brother. Arthur looked a little upset. "Aww, need a diaper change, lil' guy? Mama's got ya," said Mommy, scooping her kit into her arms. But Annie wasn't done teasing. "I don't do that 'cause I do all my poopies in the potty! I'm not a baby anymore!" "Annie, be nice," Daddy said in his gentle scolding voice. "You used to make poopies in your diapers too, not that long ago," he said. Mommies and Daddies have to talk about cub poop a lot. "And now I wear undies!" Annie said, not quite getting the point. "Yes, you are getting to be a big girl, but Arthur still needs to wear diapers. That's okay though, one day he'll be big like you. All right, ready to go to the park?" "Yeah!" Annie was so excited! She finished getting her shoes on, then put on her favorite sweater. She took her Daddy's paw, and together they walked to the park on this warm fall day. Annie had such a fun time! She had a lot of fun on the swings with Daddy, spun around on the merry-go-round, and had made a big sandcastle in the sandbox! But now, Annie had that full, wiggly, and tight feeling you get when you need to use the potty! But she thought she could hold it until they got home. She was having too much fun. So she never told Daddy she needed to go. Now they were walking home, and Annie wasn't so sure. She was gripping the front part of her skirt very tightly! "Annie, do you need to go pee?" Daddy asked. "Uh-huh, and poopy too!" Annie said. The feeling was getting worse and worse! "Oh, we better get home soon then!" said Daddy. "Hurry!" said Annie. But the house was still quite a ways away. Annie wasn't going to be able to hold it for much longer. She had to let go of her Daddy's paw and grip the front part of her pants with both paws now. She started to whimper and cry softly. Daddy looked at how Annie was straining. He knew she was never going to make it. He hated to see her in pain. "Annie, sweetheart?" He got down to her eye level and took her paws in his. "I think it's great you're trying so hard to be a big girl. But sometimes the potty is just too far away! It's okay to have an accident when that happens." Annie blinked back tears. "But Daddy! I don't wanna go in my panties like a dumb baby!" "Honeybunch, I know you're not a dumb baby. But even big kids need to have accidents sometimes. Go ahead and let it out, Annie; you'll feel a lot better once you do." Annie looked her Daddy in the eyes and asked "Will you hold my paws while I go potty in my undies?" Daddy smiled. "I think that would help a lot." Annie took a deep breath, relaxed, and closed her eyes. Her body rewarded her greatly. The warm pee started to come out first. A big wet spot appeared on her tights, getting bigger, and bigger, and trickling down her legs to make a big puddle around her shoes. "That's it, good girl..." Daddy soothed. Annie squatted down, and gave a big push. Something in her bottom opened very wide, and a big load of soft, warm poop started to come out and fill her undies. "Phbt....Splurrrrrrp!" "Ahhhhh," Annie sighed happily. "All done?" Daddy giggled. "Uh-huh!" Annie said. She [i] did[/i] feel a lot better! She reached around to feel the back of her pants. They were very full! "Does it feel good? Do you like how your poop feels nice and warm?" Daddy chuckled. "Yeah, a little bit," Annie said, suckling her thumb and blushing. She didn't like the big yucky stinky smell or the icky cold clammy feeling on her tights. But it did feel very nice to not need the potty anymore, and poopy panties didn't [i] feel[/i] that gross. "You see? The next time you need to go potty and the potty is too far away, just go in your panties instead. Next time we'll try the potty before we go to the park. Okay?" Daddy asked. "Okay, Daddy!" Annie said cheerfully. "Good girl! Phew! Let's go home and get you all cleaned up!" said Daddy, taking Annie's paw again. Together the two of them marched home, with Daddy doing his best to stay upwind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next time they were at the park, Annie remembered to go potty before coming. This time, Daddy brought Arthur with them. He had been sure to bring the diaper bag, with plenty of diapers for Arthur, and a change of clothing for Annie, just in case. Annie was playing in the sandbox when suddenly, she felt that funny feeling again. Her tummy grumbled, and she tooted a little bit too. It was time to go poopy! She looked and saw the bathroom was on the other side of the park. She knew she'd never make it that far! There was only one thing to do! Annie went up to her Daddy, who was playing with Arthur on the park bench. "Daddy? Umm....I need to go have an accident," she mumbled. "Oh? Is it gonna be a wet pee-pee accident, or a stinky poopy accident, Annie?" he asked. "A stinky poopy one!" Annie whispered excitedly. "Oh wow, those are the best kinds of accidents, aren't they? All right, sugar. Let me know when you're done having your accident, and then I'll get you all cleaned up." Annie nodded, and then looked for a place to hide. Under the slide would do fine! She looked all around to make sure only Daddy was watching. Then she squatted, suckled her thumb, and waited for the magic to happen in her panties. "Teeheehee, Annie's going poopy!" Arthur teased. Daddy smiled and said "Yep! Annie doesn't feel like using the potty right now, since it's too far away. So she's having an accident in her panties instead! But I'm sure she'll make it to the potty next time." Annie felt the mess start to come out, making her undies feel all warm, and soft, and squishy. "Hbt....splorrrrp!" She gave a big smile as she stood back up, and the big smell filled the air. She walked back over to Daddy and said "I'm all done pooping, Daddy! I had a big accident today!" "Peeyuu! Sure smells like you did, baby girl!" Daddy said, playfully holding his nose. "Daddy! I'm not a baby girl; I'm a big girl. Big girls have accidents too, remember?" "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Lots of big girls push and smile when they have big accidents in their undies. All right, [i] big girl[\i]. Let's go get those poopy undies changed. Peeyuu!" Daddy teased. Annie took her Daddy's paw, and together with Arthur, they marched off to the bathroom. Having accidents was lots of fun, but next time she would make it to the potty. But for now, it was fine to go potty in her undies, too. And Annie was happy with that.
