Welcome to a SPECIAL SESSION of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) – this writer’s favorite fantasy. The story takes place in a high school not unlike other high schools. In this high school, however, there are strict rules regarding the toileting behavior of the school’s female students. Those who break the school toilet rules (including the rules against going to the bathroom in your pants) are brought before the TVPC to have their cases heard and their punishment given out if they are guilty. Meetings of the TVPC are ORDINARILY called to order at 3:10 PM each school day in the TVPC meeting room – Room 222 of the high school. This special session, however, is being convened at 10:00 AM. It should be noted that where this story takes place you need to be 18 in order to enter high school so all persons depicted, even though entirely fictional, are at least 18 years of age.
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the special session TVPC meeting of November 4, 2012.
This SPECIAL SESSION is being convened to address the toilet violations that occurred at last Saturday’s football game at Bayside High School. It seems that the girls’ room facilities provided at the game weren’t the greatest and between our cheerleaders and the girls in the band, we had so many toilet violations that we couldn’t address them during the TVPC’s regular meeting after school. Instead, we’ve convened this special session during the school day, just to deal with these cases. As faithful readers of the TVPC surely know, accidents and other toilet violations by those who represent the school (such as cheerleaders and band members) are punished more severely than if it just happened in the course of the regular school day.
Taking the cases on the cheerleading squad first, I turn to Miss Musso, the cheerleading coach. “I hope you won’t be too hard on the girls having accidents,” the lovely Coach Musso urges me, “The bathrooms at the game there were really bad.” “I know it doesn’t excuses girls for having accidents – especially while representing the school,” she says, “But I’m just saying that with the girls’ room the way it was, you can kind of understand how accidents can happen.” I understand what she’s saying, but I’m a bit puzzled by the comments. “I know how the girls hate when they only have port-o-pottys to use at games,” I acknowledge, “But I thought that Bayside High had regular toilet facilities at their football field.” “Well, they did have regular toilets,” Coach Musso acknowledges, “But they didn’t have doors on the individual stalls.” “They get stalls without doors on them quite a bit – They should be used to it by now,” I point out, “Not wanting to use a port-o-potty is on thing – I can be a little sympathetic when a girl has an accident because of that.” “But a stall without a door is still a regular toilet,” I tell her, “It may not be ideal, but we really have to expect girls who represent the school to use regular toilets when they need to.” “I mean, I will keep all that in mind,” I assure her, “But I must say that I’m not at all happy to hear of cheerleaders and girls in the band having accidents when regular toilets were available.
The first matter from the cheerleading squad is that of a cute and petite freshman named Tatianna. She is charged with having a doubleheader accident – that is, going in her pants both ways. This being her first ever TVPC appearance, she is understandably quite nervous – In fact, she’s already crying a bit and is visibly shaking with fear. “Try to relax – It’s not going to be so bad,” I tell her, “You’re certainly going to be punished for what you did, but I’ll certainly consider that it’s only your first offense.” “I just don’t want to get kicked off the cheerleading squad,” the scared freshman with braces tells me, in a near panic. “I love being a cheerleading more than anything,” she tells us, “I’m so sorry for what I did, but please don’t kick me off the squad.
“Relax,” I tell her again, as Coach Musso chimes in with the same advice. “No one is going to kick you off the cheerleading squad,” she tells the girl. “You’re going to have to be punished for going in your pants and that punishment is going to be kind of bad because it happened while you were cheerleading,” I explain, “But if you do your punishment like you’re supposed to you can go right on being a cheerleader.” Miss Musso echoes that sentiment. “You made a mistake and went to the bathroom in your pants,” she tells Tatianna, “That’s definitely not a good thing, but we certainly don’t kick girls off the cheerleading squad just for doing that.” She seems a bit relieved to hear that and takes a deep breath and starts to calm down a bit – Well, a least a little calmer than she was before.
Taking another deep breath, she proceeds to tell us what we pretty much already knew. She explains that she didn’t want to use the girls’ room at the game because the toilet stalls didn’t have doors on them. “I don’t mind public toilets so much, I really don’t,” the cute freshman tells us, drying her tears a bit, “I use the girls’ rooms in school all the time – Even when I have to do you know what.” “But we have doors on the stalls in the girls’ rooms here – at least on most of the stalls,” she says, “I like how we can have privacy in the stalls here.” “I tried – I really tried,” she assures me, “But I just couldn’t go in the toilets there because there was no privacy.” “I really like my privacy, sir,” she explains in earnest, “I guess I really NEED my privacy.” “I really didn’t want to go in my pants, sir – I swear,” the freshman cheerleader adds, “But I just couldn’t do my stuff in the toilets there.”
“I understand,” I tell the poor girl sympathetically, “But sometimes you can’t always get the privacy you want – Sometimes you do have to use stalls without any doors on them.” “That’s the way the toilets are at some schools that we have to go to,” I explain, “And you need to get used to using them when you need to or you’re going to have some more unpleasant experiences before this committee.” “Yes sir,” she tells me uneasily, like that’s not something she wants to think about, “I’ll try to do better. “Sometimes you only get port-o-pottys at games,” I tell her, “This time you at least had regular toilets to use.” “I think I’d rather have a port-o-potty than what they had,” Tatianna says, “They may smell really bad sometimes, but at least you can close the door and get some privacy.” “Regardless you have to be able to use whatever bathroom facilities they have available,” I explain, “Going in your pants – Especially both ways – While representing the school as a cheerleader is a serious matter.
Tatianna tells me that she understands that and promises to do better, but she also explains that only one part of her accident actually happened while she was cheerleading at the game. “I didn’t wet my pants at the game,” she points out, “I did do the other thing in my pants at the game, but I didn’t wet my pants until later.” “I was holding it in the whole bus ride home,” she explains, “I was trying to make it but here to use the girls’ room, but I just couldn’t hold it long enough.” “Just as soon as I got off the bus, I just couldn’t hold it any more,” she explains, “I just totally peed my pants in the parking lot before I could get to the girls’ room.” Obviously, the point of telling us all this is that she “only” messed in her pants at the game and her accident didn’t become a doubleheader until much later. The expectation, I suppose, is that her punishment might be a little less not having done both while actually cheerleading at the game.
But I explain to her that she’s considered to be representing the school as a cheerleading from the moment she gets on the bus to go to the game until the moment she leaves school property after she gets back. “Unfortunately, that means you went in your pants BOTH WAYS while still representing the school as a cheerleader,” I explain to her, “And unfortunately the TVPC will be punishing you accordingly.”
For her punishment, I sentence Tatianna to write 500 times, “I will not wet nor will I soil my panties in school or while cheerleading again.” I also sentence her to a week of detention and a week of her 3rd period study hall sitting on the toilet. “When we do toilet sitting punishment at this school, we sit with the stall door open,” I remind her, “Maybe that’ll help you a little in getting used to using toilets without stall doors.” I can tell she’s a little upset at her punishment – It is pretty severe for a first-time offender – But she doesn’t say anything. I think she’s more concerned with what’s going to happen the next time she has to go at a game and the toilets there don’t have doors on the stalls. For her sake, I hope she manages to use it before she goes in her pants again.
Moving on the next case from the cheerleading squad, it’s another panty soiling – this time just a panty-soiling and not a doubleheader. The accused, who has pleaded “Guilty” the charge, is Esther, a pretty and athletic senior brunette with a very good school toilet record. As I understand it, she messed in her panties at the game but managed to keep hold of her bladder and urinated in the toilet in the girls’ locker room after she got back to our school after the game.
“I don’t want to make any excuses,” she says, “I did it and it was my own fault.” “I just didn’t go and use the toilet when I needed to,” she admits, “And eventually it all just came out in my pants.” “But that’s not like you,” I point out to Esther, “I’m than a little surprised to hear of you not using the toilet when you needed to.” “It’s just so unlike you to go in your pants like that,” I explain. “I remember that you did a few panty-soiling messes when you were a freshman, but a lot of girls do that,” I remind her, “But you haven’t gone in your pants since then – You haven’t wet your pants since them and you certainly haven’t soiled them.” “I mean, I’m glad to hear of you taking responsibility for what you did,” I tell her, “But, as I said, I’m just a little surprised.”
“Well, the girls’ room at the game was really bad,” she explains, “Miss Musso and Tatianna were really right about that.” “I mean, I know it’s no excuse and I don’t mean it as an excuse, but the girls’ room facilities were just awful,” she continues, “I just didn’t want to do my business in there – It was so bad that I didn’t even want to go #1.” “I just took a chance and tried to hold it in,” she says, “I managed to hold it in for peeing, but unfortunately, I went #2 in my pants.” She goes on to describe the restroom conditions there in graphic detail. “It wasn’t just that they didn’t have doors on the stalls,” she tells us, “I can deal with no doors on the stalls.” “I mean, I certainly don’t like it when they’re no doors on the stalls, but it’s not something I’d mess in my panties over.” “But these stalls were not only doorless in front, they were facing each other,” she explains, “The 4 stalls on the one side were facing directly into the 4 stalls on the other side.” “That’s just gross,” she argues, “You’ve got the girls using the toilet across from you looking into your stall and you can’t help but be looking into theirs.” “That’s just not how people are supposed to be going to the bathroom,” she adds.
“If it was just no doors on the stalls, you just have to be careful not to look at anyone else on the toilet and they have to be careful not to look in on you,” she continues, “But this way, with the stalls across from each other, you can’t help it but to look in on other people and they can’t help but to look in on me.” “I know it’s no excuse, sir – I know it’s no excuse to go in my pants – Especially when it’s messing my pants and especially, especially when I’m a cheerleader,” she acknowledges, “But I just couldn’t use the toilet like that.” “I know it’s my fault and I know I have to take the punishment,” she says, “But I just couldn’t sit down on the toilet and do my business right across from another girl doing her business.” “I’m sorry but I had an accident,” she explains, “I tried – I really tried but I just couldn’t go to the bathroom where other girls would be looking in on me and I would be looking in on them.”
I certainly do understand Esther’s point. Hers is a pretty graphic description and it’s well-described. I’m actually not completely unsympathetic, but as she said herself, it’s still not an excuse for not using the toilet when she needed to and messing in her panties because of it. It’s still a panty-soiling violation and the TVPC cannot excuse that – especially when it’s while representing the school
For Esther, it’s also her first toilet offense of the school year – although unlike Tatianna, Esther has had other TVPC appearances in prior years. Obviously, though, those panty-soiling violations from her freshman year don’t count against her now, but we do have to give her the stern punishment commensurate with this being a panty-soiling while representing the school. She’ll have to write 500 times, “I will not soil my panties in school or while cheerleading again.” Furthermore, I give her the choice of spending a week of her 6th period study hall sitting on the toilet in the girls’ locker room or spending a week in regular (non-toilet sitting) detention. She thinks about it for moment and then chooses the week of study halls on the toilet. “Detention would be a problem for me with cheerleading practice and everything,” she explains, “I can deal with sitting on the toilet in the girls’ locker room here.”
Our last case from the cheerleading squad on Saturday is not an accident case, but a case of bathroom-related teasing. It seems that Quinn, a senior on the squad, didn’t take too kindly to the other girls having accidents – Especially Tatianna. Quinn, a perennially peppy drama queen, seems rather annoyed to be called before the TVPC on a matter such as this and she seems particularly annoyed to be standing in the vicinity of Esther and Tatianna even though those 2 girls have long since cleaned themselves up after their accidents on Saturday.
“Don’t link me up with those 2,” Quinn says unsympathetically, “They messed in their panties – They deserve to be here.” “And you teased them about messing in their panties,” Miss Musso reminds her, “And you teased Tatianna so bad you drove her to tears.” “That’s why you’re here, young lady,” she reminds the pretty but thoroughly conceited and sometimes nasty cheerleader. “What do you expect when a girl in high school messes in her panties like a baby,” Quinn quickly snaps back, “Do you really expect them NOT to get teased for doing something like that?” “That’s just gross,” she continues, “Its gross enough what Esther did and it’s even more gross to go in your pants both ways like Tatianna did.” “There’s just no excuse for that – NONE!” she says emphatically, “I don’t care how bad the toilets are, I would just NEVER go in my pants and they shouldn’t either.” Though Quinn is nothing like her older sister DARIA (who graduated 2 years), and Quinn would deny any comparison vociferously, I cannot help but think about how both girls have gotten in trouble with the TVPC for their comments. DARIA seemed to have a penchant for clever comments, though, while Quinn’s, at least in the case, just seem nasty.
Although the veracity of Quinn’s comments are not really the point, a quick check of Quinn’s school toilet record proves interesting. “You did mess in your panties in school last year,” I remind her, “In fact, you did it twice.” That revelation brings a little smile to Esther’s face and quite a big smile to Tatianna’s. But Quinn defends herself saying that both of those only happened because her teacher – Specifically Mr. Feeney – wouldn’t let her go to the girls’ room when she asked. “Those were not my fault – It only happened because he wouldn’t let me use the toilet,” she says angrily, “With Esther and Tatianna they had the chance to go to the toilet and just decided to go in their pants instead.” “That’s completely different,” the senior insists, “They even admitted going in her panties was her own fault.” “I’m just walking off the bus after the game and Tatianna is standing right there in the parking lot,” Quinn continues, “It’s bad enough that she’s got a load in her panties already, but now she’s peeing in her pants, too.” “She is supposed to be in high school and she’s standing there with pee running down her legs,” Quinn rants on, “And you really expect that someone’s NOT going to tell her how disgusting that is?”
“Yes, I expect that no one is going to tell her that,” I explain again to Quinn. “And YOU CAN EXPECT that since bathroom-related teasing is against TVPC rules, you’re gong to get punished for doing it.” “Great,” she says sarcastically, “Those 2 mess in their panties and I’m the one who’s going to get punished.” “Esther and Tatianna ARE getting punished – What do you think just happened,” I tell her, amidst growing frustration on my part, “Girls who go in their pants are always punished – Especially when they do it while representing the school.” “But it’s the TVPC that does the toilet-related punishing around here,” I point out, “And you’ve got no business making unnecessary comments like you did.”
Just as Quinn appears ready to speak up again, she gets a nudge from Coach Musso. “Watch your mouth,” she tells her cheerleader, “The worse your attitude the worse your punishment is going to be.” Pausing a moment, the pretty and prissy senior drama queen seems to comprehend her coach’s point. “It’s just that I can’t believe that they would mess their panties like that,” a calmer Quinn says, “It’s really a disgrace to the cheerleading squad what they did and the rest of us shouldn’t have to smell all that on the bus ride home.” “I agree,” I tell her, “And that’s why they’re getting punished and punished a bit severely.” “Not severely enough in my book,” Quinn shoots right back, “Do you know how bad that bus smelled on the way home with 2 girls sitting in their messy panties.” “I just don’t care how bad the toilets are or even if it’s just a port-o-potty,” she says, “You use it when you have to use it – It’s just totally disgusting to go in your panties.” “And what’s with Tatianna going in her pants both ways,” she rambles on, “Why does she get only 1 punishment for that.” “She went in her pants BOTH ways – That’s 2 different things,” she points out, “She should be getting a separate punishment for each separate thing she did in her pants on Saturday.”
With that Miss Musso nudges her again, this time a bit harder. “Shut up!” she tells Quinn bluntly, “You’ve said way too much already.” I could also remind Quinn of several accidents she had her sophomore year (including one that she hid in a sanitary napkin disposal and had to server a toilet suspension for), but what’s really the point. Quinn’s not very bright and I don’t think she’s really listening to me, anyway.
For punishment, she will, of course, be writing some apology essays. “That will be a 1,000 word apology to Esther,” I tell the senior cheerleader, “And a 2,000 word apology to Tatianna.” And I also assign her to write 250 times, “I will not tease other girls about their accidents again.” “And this will be 250 times on the blackboard in detention,” I inform her, “Let’s hope that’ll serve as an attitude adjustment for you.” Quinn looks like she’s ready to argue some more, but a stern look from Coach Musso quickly convinces her that that’s really not a good idea now. “You might have gotten a little less punishment had you been more contrite,” Miss Musso whispers to her, “And you don’t need to make it even worse now.” “Yes sir,” is all she WISELY says now.
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the special session TVPC meeting of November 4, 2012.
This SPECIAL SESSION is being convened to address the toilet violations that occurred at last Saturday’s football game at Bayside High School. It seems that the girls’ room facilities provided at the game weren’t the greatest and between our cheerleaders and the girls in the band, we had so many toilet violations that we couldn’t address them during the TVPC’s regular meeting after school. Instead, we’ve convened this special session during the school day, just to deal with these cases. As faithful readers of the TVPC surely know, accidents and other toilet violations by those who represent the school (such as cheerleaders and band members) are punished more severely than if it just happened in the course of the regular school day.
Taking the cases on the cheerleading squad first, I turn to Miss Musso, the cheerleading coach. “I hope you won’t be too hard on the girls having accidents,” the lovely Coach Musso urges me, “The bathrooms at the game there were really bad.” “I know it doesn’t excuses girls for having accidents – especially while representing the school,” she says, “But I’m just saying that with the girls’ room the way it was, you can kind of understand how accidents can happen.” I understand what she’s saying, but I’m a bit puzzled by the comments. “I know how the girls hate when they only have port-o-pottys to use at games,” I acknowledge, “But I thought that Bayside High had regular toilet facilities at their football field.” “Well, they did have regular toilets,” Coach Musso acknowledges, “But they didn’t have doors on the individual stalls.” “They get stalls without doors on them quite a bit – They should be used to it by now,” I point out, “Not wanting to use a port-o-potty is on thing – I can be a little sympathetic when a girl has an accident because of that.” “But a stall without a door is still a regular toilet,” I tell her, “It may not be ideal, but we really have to expect girls who represent the school to use regular toilets when they need to.” “I mean, I will keep all that in mind,” I assure her, “But I must say that I’m not at all happy to hear of cheerleaders and girls in the band having accidents when regular toilets were available.

“Relax,” I tell her again, as Coach Musso chimes in with the same advice. “No one is going to kick you off the cheerleading squad,” she tells the girl. “You’re going to have to be punished for going in your pants and that punishment is going to be kind of bad because it happened while you were cheerleading,” I explain, “But if you do your punishment like you’re supposed to you can go right on being a cheerleader.” Miss Musso echoes that sentiment. “You made a mistake and went to the bathroom in your pants,” she tells Tatianna, “That’s definitely not a good thing, but we certainly don’t kick girls off the cheerleading squad just for doing that.” She seems a bit relieved to hear that and takes a deep breath and starts to calm down a bit – Well, a least a little calmer than she was before.

She explains that she didn’t want to use the girls’ room at the game because the toilet stalls didn’t have doors on them. “I don’t mind public toilets so much, I really don’t,” the cute freshman tells us, drying her tears a bit, “I use the girls’ rooms in school all the time – Even when I have to do you know what.” “But we have doors on the stalls in the girls’ rooms here – at least on most of the stalls,” she says, “I like how we can have privacy in the stalls here.” “I tried – I really tried,” she assures me, “But I just couldn’t go in the toilets there because there was no privacy.” “I really like my privacy, sir,” she explains in earnest, “I guess I really NEED my privacy.” “I really didn’t want to go in my pants, sir – I swear,” the freshman cheerleader adds, “But I just couldn’t do my stuff in the toilets there.”

Tatianna tells me that she understands that and promises to do better, but she also explains that only one part of her accident actually happened while she was cheerleading at the game. “I didn’t wet my pants at the game,” she points out, “I did do the other thing in my pants at the game, but I didn’t wet my pants until later.” “I was holding it in the whole bus ride home,” she explains, “I was trying to make it but here to use the girls’ room, but I just couldn’t hold it long enough.” “Just as soon as I got off the bus, I just couldn’t hold it any more,” she explains, “I just totally peed my pants in the parking lot before I could get to the girls’ room.” Obviously, the point of telling us all this is that she “only” messed in her pants at the game and her accident didn’t become a doubleheader until much later.

For her punishment, I sentence Tatianna to write 500 times, “I will not wet nor will I soil my panties in school or while cheerleading again.” I also sentence her to a week of detention and a week of her 3rd period study hall sitting on the toilet. “When we do toilet sitting punishment at this school, we sit with the stall door open,” I remind her, “Maybe that’ll help you a little in getting used to using toilets without stall doors.” I can tell she’s a little upset at her punishment – It is pretty severe for a first-time offender – But she doesn’t say anything. I think she’s more concerned with what’s going to happen the next time she has to go at a game and the toilets there don’t have doors on the stalls. For her sake, I hope she manages to use it before she goes in her pants again.
Moving on the next case from the cheerleading squad, it’s another panty soiling – this time just a panty-soiling and not a doubleheader. The accused, who has pleaded “Guilty” the charge, is Esther, a pretty and athletic senior brunette with a very good school toilet record. As I understand it, she messed in her panties at the game but managed to keep hold of her bladder and urinated in the toilet in the girls’ locker room after she got back to our school after the game.
“I don’t want to make any excuses,” she says, “I did it and it was my own fault.” “I just didn’t go and use the toilet when I needed to,” she admits, “And eventually it all just came out in my pants.” “But that’s not like you,” I point out to Esther, “I’m than a little surprised to hear of you not using the toilet when you needed to.” “It’s just so unlike you to go in your pants like that,” I explain. “I remember that you did a few panty-soiling messes when you were a freshman, but a lot of girls do that,” I remind her, “But you haven’t gone in your pants since then – You haven’t wet your pants since them and you certainly haven’t soiled them.” “I mean, I’m glad to hear of you taking responsibility for what you did,” I tell her, “But, as I said, I’m just a little surprised.”
“Well, the girls’ room at the game was really bad,” she explains, “Miss Musso and Tatianna were really right about that.” “I mean, I know it’s no excuse and I don’t mean it as an excuse, but the girls’ room facilities were just awful,” she continues, “I just didn’t want to do my business in there – It was so bad that I didn’t even want to go #1.” “I just took a chance and tried to hold it in,” she says, “I managed to hold it in for peeing, but unfortunately, I went #2 in my pants.” She goes on to describe the restroom conditions there in graphic detail. “It wasn’t just that they didn’t have doors on the stalls,” she tells us, “I can deal with no doors on the stalls.” “I mean, I certainly don’t like it when they’re no doors on the stalls, but it’s not something I’d mess in my panties over.” “But these stalls were not only doorless in front, they were facing each other,” she explains, “The 4 stalls on the one side were facing directly into the 4 stalls on the other side.” “That’s just gross,” she argues, “You’ve got the girls using the toilet across from you looking into your stall and you can’t help but be looking into theirs.” “That’s just not how people are supposed to be going to the bathroom,” she adds.

I certainly do understand Esther’s point. Hers is a pretty graphic description and it’s well-described. I’m actually not completely unsympathetic, but as she said herself, it’s still not an excuse for not using the toilet when she needed to and messing in her panties because of it. It’s still a panty-soiling violation and the TVPC cannot excuse that – especially when it’s while representing the school
For Esther, it’s also her first toilet offense of the school year – although unlike Tatianna, Esther has had other TVPC appearances in prior years. Obviously, though, those panty-soiling violations from her freshman year don’t count against her now, but we do have to give her the stern punishment commensurate with this being a panty-soiling while representing the school. She’ll have to write 500 times, “I will not soil my panties in school or while cheerleading again.” Furthermore, I give her the choice of spending a week of her 6th period study hall sitting on the toilet in the girls’ locker room or spending a week in regular (non-toilet sitting) detention. She thinks about it for moment and then chooses the week of study halls on the toilet. “Detention would be a problem for me with cheerleading practice and everything,” she explains, “I can deal with sitting on the toilet in the girls’ locker room here.”
Our last case from the cheerleading squad on Saturday is not an accident case, but a case of bathroom-related teasing. It seems that Quinn, a senior on the squad, didn’t take too kindly to the other girls having accidents – Especially Tatianna. Quinn, a perennially peppy drama queen, seems rather annoyed to be called before the TVPC on a matter such as this and she seems particularly annoyed to be standing in the vicinity of Esther and Tatianna even though those 2 girls have long since cleaned themselves up after their accidents on Saturday.
“Don’t link me up with those 2,” Quinn says unsympathetically, “They messed in their panties – They deserve to be here.” “And you teased them about messing in their panties,” Miss Musso reminds her, “And you teased Tatianna so bad you drove her to tears.” “That’s why you’re here, young lady,” she reminds the pretty but thoroughly conceited and sometimes nasty cheerleader. “What do you expect when a girl in high school messes in her panties like a baby,” Quinn quickly snaps back, “Do you really expect them NOT to get teased for doing something like that?” “That’s just gross,” she continues, “Its gross enough what Esther did and it’s even more gross to go in your pants both ways like Tatianna did.” “There’s just no excuse for that – NONE!” she says emphatically, “I don’t care how bad the toilets are, I would just NEVER go in my pants and they shouldn’t either.” Though Quinn is nothing like her older sister DARIA (who graduated 2 years), and Quinn would deny any comparison vociferously, I cannot help but think about how both girls have gotten in trouble with the TVPC for their comments. DARIA seemed to have a penchant for clever comments, though, while Quinn’s, at least in the case, just seem nasty.
Although the veracity of Quinn’s comments are not really the point, a quick check of Quinn’s school toilet record proves interesting. “You did mess in your panties in school last year,” I remind her, “In fact, you did it twice.” That revelation brings a little smile to Esther’s face and quite a big smile to Tatianna’s. But Quinn defends herself saying that both of those only happened because her teacher – Specifically Mr. Feeney – wouldn’t let her go to the girls’ room when she asked. “Those were not my fault – It only happened because he wouldn’t let me use the toilet,” she says angrily, “With Esther and Tatianna they had the chance to go to the toilet and just decided to go in their pants instead.” “That’s completely different,” the senior insists, “They even admitted going in her panties was her own fault.” “I’m just walking off the bus after the game and Tatianna is standing right there in the parking lot,” Quinn continues, “It’s bad enough that she’s got a load in her panties already, but now she’s peeing in her pants, too.” “She is supposed to be in high school and she’s standing there with pee running down her legs,” Quinn rants on, “And you really expect that someone’s NOT going to tell her how disgusting that is?”
“Yes, I expect that no one is going to tell her that,” I explain again to Quinn. “And YOU CAN EXPECT that since bathroom-related teasing is against TVPC rules, you’re gong to get punished for doing it.” “Great,” she says sarcastically, “Those 2 mess in their panties and I’m the one who’s going to get punished.” “Esther and Tatianna ARE getting punished – What do you think just happened,” I tell her, amidst growing frustration on my part, “Girls who go in their pants are always punished – Especially when they do it while representing the school.” “But it’s the TVPC that does the toilet-related punishing around here,” I point out, “And you’ve got no business making unnecessary comments like you did.”
Just as Quinn appears ready to speak up again, she gets a nudge from Coach Musso. “Watch your mouth,” she tells her cheerleader, “The worse your attitude the worse your punishment is going to be.” Pausing a moment, the pretty and prissy senior drama queen seems to comprehend her coach’s point. “It’s just that I can’t believe that they would mess their panties like that,” a calmer Quinn says, “It’s really a disgrace to the cheerleading squad what they did and the rest of us shouldn’t have to smell all that on the bus ride home.” “I agree,” I tell her, “And that’s why they’re getting punished and punished a bit severely.” “Not severely enough in my book,” Quinn shoots right back, “Do you know how bad that bus smelled on the way home with 2 girls sitting in their messy panties.” “I just don’t care how bad the toilets are or even if it’s just a port-o-potty,” she says, “You use it when you have to use it – It’s just totally disgusting to go in your panties.” “And what’s with Tatianna going in her pants both ways,” she rambles on, “Why does she get only 1 punishment for that.” “She went in her pants BOTH ways – That’s 2 different things,” she points out, “She should be getting a separate punishment for each separate thing she did in her pants on Saturday.”
With that Miss Musso nudges her again, this time a bit harder. “Shut up!” she tells Quinn bluntly, “You’ve said way too much already.” I could also remind Quinn of several accidents she had her sophomore year (including one that she hid in a sanitary napkin disposal and had to server a toilet suspension for), but what’s really the point. Quinn’s not very bright and I don’t think she’s really listening to me, anyway.
For punishment, she will, of course, be writing some apology essays. “That will be a 1,000 word apology to Esther,” I tell the senior cheerleader, “And a 2,000 word apology to Tatianna.” And I also assign her to write 250 times, “I will not tease other girls about their accidents again.” “And this will be 250 times on the blackboard in detention,” I inform her, “Let’s hope that’ll serve as an attitude adjustment for you.” Quinn looks like she’s ready to argue some more, but a stern look from Coach Musso quickly convinces her that that’s really not a good idea now. “You might have gotten a little less punishment had you been more contrite,” Miss Musso whispers to her, “And you don’t need to make it even worse now.” “Yes sir,” is all she WISELY says now.
