100 Acre Wood.
Roo’s Problem and New Friend.
It was another wonderful morning in the 100 Acre Wood. All the small woodland animals were stirring from there sleep and enjoying the morning. Squirrels played in tree branches, frogs leapt from Lilly pad to Lilly pad and birds sung there wonderful songs. One such bird was sitting on the windowsill of sleeping joey. Roo slowly started to wake up with a yawn as the light from his window filtered into the room. But upon waking up the bird’s song wasn’t the only thing that greeted little Roo. The sensation of a wet bed greeted him too.
“Aw not again.” Roo sighed as he sat up with a glum look on his face as his mother Kanga came into his room. She noticed the damp spot on the blanket and the look on her son’s face.
“Morning sweetie. Did it happen again last night?” She asked sympathetically as she walked over to his bed.
“Yeah. I don’t know why. I tried not to again. I really did. But I just couldn’t help it.” Roo said starting to get upset and a stray tear here and there. His mother lovingly picked him up out of his wet bed and held him.
“Oh I know honey it’s not your fault. These things happen.” She told her son while hugging him close.
“I know I just feel like a baby waking up every morning like this. I’m a big kid.” Roo told his mom snuggling up to her.
“I know sweetie. Don’t worry about it though. I’ll think of something. But for now lets get you dressed ok?” She asked looking down to Roo.
“Ok Mamma.” He said smiling up to her. Kanga sat him down on the dry part of his bed and took his long night shirt off and helped him into his regular blue one. “Thanks Mamma.” Roo told her as he hopped off the bed and started for the stairs.
“Have fun dear and remember to come home when I call.” She told him as he went down the stairs.
“I will Mamma.” Roo said as he went out the front door and off to see what there was to do today. Roo was fairly disappointed however. He went to Tigger’s place but he wasn’t home. Roo figured Tigger was off bouncing somewhere already. He checked Pooh’s and Piglet’s place next. Neither of them were home either. Piglet probably went with Pooh to find more Honey. Roo then went past Rabbit’s house. He saw Rabbit working in his Garden. Rabbit looked up at him with a look Roo recognized as meaning. ‘Oh no. I hope he doesn’t stop.’. It wasn’t his fault though that the Garden got ruined the last time. It was just an accident. How was he supposed to know that the Wind Sled he and Tigger made would go over three hills and into Rabbit’s Garden. Roo sighed and hopped off. He decided to explore the woods a lil ways from Rabbits place. He hummed a lil tune as he hopped along. As he hopped along he heard a sound over the next hill near some trees. Roo quietly approached the sound not sure what it was. But he was glad to have the adventure. As Roo got in closer he saw the source. A small cub about his own size down in the meadow pouncing and trying to catch some butterflies playfully. The cub was a bit odd. It had stripes like a tiger but the mane of a lion. And upon closer inspection it was clear the cub was wearing a diaper. But Roo didn’t care he was happy to have a new playmate.
“Hi there!” Roo said hopping over to the cub. The cub jumped a lil bit and then smiled back.
“Hello.” The cub said a lil shyly as he pulled how his red t-shirt a bit.
“Hi. My name’s Roo. You must be new around here. I haven’t seen you before.” Roo said holding out a paw.
“Nice ta meet ya. I’m Lig. Yeah me and my big brother just moved here today. He let me go play while he got the house set up.” Lig explained.
“That’s cool. It’ll be nice having someone else to play with. I guess now I’m not the only kid here.” Roo said happily. Lig blushed a bit. “So Lig….what exactly are you anyway? Ya look a lil like my friend Tigger but he doesn’t have a mane. And your tail’s not all sprongy like his.”
“I’m a Liger. Dats means I’m part Tiger and part Lion.” Lig said with a giggle.
“Wow that’s cool! I didn’t even know there was something like a Liger.” Roo said sounding very impressed.
“Aww thanks. It’s really nice to meet ya.” Lig said smiling,
“Hey wanna go play? I know a nice big field with lots of room.” Roo told Lig. Lig grinned and nodded vigorously. With that the two cubs were off to the field to play.
Meanwhile back home Kanga was going about her usual morning chores of tidying up the house and her Garden she heard some rustling in a tree not far off. She put down her watering bucket and hopped over to see what it was. She saw a Liger just like Lig only older taking boxes into the empty try house. Kanga smiled at the prospect of a new neighbor and hopped on over.
“Good morning.” She said as she hopped over. The Liger stopped and looked over to her as she approached.
“Hello there. Good morning to you too.” The Liger said in a friendly voice. “So I guess you’re my new neighbor huh?”
“Yes my name’s Kanga. I live in the house just a lil east of yours.” She said smiling.
“Well a pleasure to meet you Kanga. I’m Warren. And I’m a Liger in case your curious.” He said with a light hearted laugh. Kanga laughed a bit herself.
“I was curious but I didn’t want to pry. Oh it’s alright. It’s not everyday ya see a Liger. Well actually I guess it will be now.” Warren said with another laugh and got Kanga laughing too.
“Yes. Well it’s nice to see a new neighbor move in. This house has been empty for years. Since before my son was born.” Kango told Warren looking at the house.
“Oh you have a son. Splendid. My lil brother will have someone to play with.” Warren said happily. Kanga smiled.
“Marvelous. My son hasn’t had any playmates his own age. Even though some act it.” Kanga said with a sigh thinking of some of her other neighbors.
“Nice. So what’s your son’s name? My lil bro’s name is Lig.” Warren said setting down the box he was holding.
“Oh his name’s Roo.” Kanga said and noticed the box. “Oh would you like a hand with the boxes?”
“Sure if it’s not any trouble.” Warren said politely.
“Oh no trouble at all what are Neighbors for?” Kanga said picking up one of the boxes.
Back at the field Roo had lead Lig too they decided to play Knights with some fairly thin and none too sharp sticks. They were having fun hopping this way and that way hitting there sticks off of one another playfully. They laughed and giggled the whole time. Eventually both got worn out and sat back up the shade of a nearby tree. Roo was thinking of his new friend. A question had been in his head since he saw Lig. But he was a lil shy about asking it cuz he knew how embarrassing it’d be for him to talk about it. Finally though Roo’s curiosity got the better of him.
“Hey Lig. I was wonder……not to be mean or anything but you’re as big as me. Why do you wear diapers?” Roo asked hoping he wouldn’t upset his new friend.
“Well I was never trained. My parent’s tried but I could never tell when I need to go. We found out dat I have a condition that sometimes happens in hybrids like me.” Lig said having to take his time to pronounce Hybrids right.
“Oh so you can’t help it either huh.” Roo said and then mentally kicked himself for saying that aloud. Lig looked at Roo confused. He didn’t see a diaper on Roo or anything. Roo saw the expression and explained.
“Well I’ve been having accidents at night lately myself. I can’t help it. I just wish they would stop. Half the time they wake me up early and I can’t get back to sleep.” Roo said with a sigh at the end.
“Well least you can control it in da day time.” Lig said trying to help his new buddy see the bright side.
“Yeah I guess your right.” Roo said smiling feeling a lil better. His ears then perked up when he herd his mother calling him. And then a second voice calling Lig.
“I guess your brother and my mom want us back now.” Roo said getting up.
“Yeah I think it’s lunch time now!” Lig said getting up to with a crinkle from his diaper.
“Race ya there!” Roo said bouncing in place a bit.
“Your on!” Lig said and with that the two shot off for home.
Back at Warren’s he and Kanga managed to get all the boxes in and unpacked. Kanga noticed the while unpacking there were some baby things here and there as well as some diapers. Kanga looked at them a bit puzzled for a second.
“Those are for my lil bro Lig. The Doc says he’s got a condition that makes it so he can’t feel when he has to go. So this is our solution. It keeps the furniture dry and Lig doesn’t mind. Thanks to that condition he’s never been trained.” Warren said with a bit of a laugh.
“Oh I see. My Roo is having a similar problem. He’s been having accidents every night for the past two weeks. It’s been keeping him up and getting him upset.” Kanga said with a tone of sadness in her voice for her son.
“Well why not diaper him up for bedtime. That way no wet beds in the morning and a good night’s sleep.” Warren suggested as they set up Lig’s bed. Kanga thought about it for a lil while. It did seem like the only reasonable solution.
“Well I’ll give it a try tonight.” Kanga said as they finished up. After they were done Kanga invited Warren and Lig over to her house for lunch. Warren accepted and followed her over and helped make lunch. It was basically PB&J sandwiches and some glasses of milk. Two of which had straws to make the meal less messy. Once they were reading Kanga and Warren called there respective cubs back.
