Welcome to a 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 called to order at 3:10 PM each school day in the TVPC meeting room – Room 222 of the high school. 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 TVPC meeting of February 4, 2013.
As I open this afternoon’s session of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC), I’m happy to note the recent success of our school’s cheerleading squad. This past Saturday, they competed in major cheerleading competition and I’m happy to report that they took 1st place in their division. But, as often is the case, the news is mixed. Unfortunately, on the TVPC agenda this afternoon are 2 cases of toilet violations from the cheerleading competition – 1 of them from a cheerleader on the squad and, even more unfortunately, 1 of them is Miss Musso, the cheerleading coach herself. As faithful readers of the TVPC may recall, Coach Musso is also subject to TVPC jurisdiction this year due to her previous problems with messing in her panties while serving as cheerleading coach.
Dealing with the cheerleader first, the accused is Melanie, a pretty brunette with braces. She is accused not only of soiling her panties but wetting them, too. This is called a “Doubleheader” accident since the girl went both ways in her pants. A doubleheader means extra punishment for the girl having one and that’s certainly not good news for the outgoing and athletic sophomore. She’s in enough trouble already because having an accident at a cheerleading competition is serious enough already. That, of course, is considered an accident while representing the school – a more serious violation than if a girl merely has an accident in school. Melanie pleads “Guilty” and begs the TVPC for leniency.
“I’m sorry, sir,” she says, in tears, “I’m so ashamed of myself.” “I just had an accident – Or I guess, 2 accidents, I guess,” she explains, “I didn’t do it on purpose or anything.” “Well, actually it’s only considered 1 accident under TVPC rules,” I point out, “And no one is saying that you did it on purpose.” “But even doing it accidentally is still quite shameful,” I tell her, “And certainly a violation of TVPC rules.” “At your age, you’re supposed to be responsible for properly handling your bodily functions,” I explain to her, “And obviously that doesn’t mean doing them in your panties.” “And that’s especially true when you’re representing the school as a cheerleader,” I add, “When you’re at a cheerleading function, you need to be on your best behavior – toilet-wise.” With that last statement, I also give Coach Musso a look – But we’ll get to that in a minute.
But Melanie tries to tell me that she just couldn’t help it. “There was a really long wait for the bathroom,” she explains, “The line stretched out the hall and once you even got into the girls’ room, there was still a wait to get into a stall.” “I just couldn’t hold it in that long,” she explains further, “I just had an accident standing there in line.” “First, my pee started to leak out,” she continues, “And then when I tried really hard to clamp down on my bladder, I started to feel myself losing control of the other thing.” “And then when I switched and tried to keep from messing myself, they both started coming out,” she goes on, “Pretty soon, I couldn’t get control of anything and I was going both ways in my pants.” All the while that Melanie is recounting what happened Coach Musso is nodding her head to confirm it. “It was a cheerleading competition with cheerleaders from a lot of schools,” the lovely and athletic cheerleading coach reminds us, “The lines for the girls’ room were long all day.” “It was the long line that caused me to have the accident,” Melanie argues, “I was trying to get to the toilet when it happened.”
What she says may be factually correct, but obviously it’s no excuse. “Long lines for the girls’ room do not give you an excuse to go in your pants,” I explain sternly, “Obviously it means you have to be more careful and more responsible about taking care of your business.” “Obviously it means you can’t wait until you have an emergency,” I point out, “Obviously it means that you need to get in line when you first feel like you have to go.” Upon questioning, the pretty brunette admits she didn’t head to the girls’ room until she really needed to go. “I guess I tried to put it off for a while,” she admits, “I guess I had to go kind of bad before I decided that I needed to go.” “So then the problem wasn’t so much that the line was long,” I suggest, “The problem was that you waited too long to get into the line.” Reluctantly – And shamefully – The poor girl nods her head “yes.” “I’m so sorry,” she says again.
Moving on to Melanie’s punishment, I first give her a 500 times punishment writing assignment – The usual punishment for a first panty-soiling accident while representing the school. But since she also wet her pants in addition to soiling them, she’ll have to write a longer sentence – “I will not soil nor will I wet my panties in school or at cheerleading functions again” – And she’ll have to write 100 of them on the blackboard in detention. And she’ll spend a week of detention sitting on a toilet in the girls’ room near the gym. “I’m sorry sir,” she says again, this time with tears streaming down her face. Admittedly, this is a hefty price to pay for waiting a little too long to get in the line for the girls’ room. But hopefully, this will be last time she’ll ever make that mistake.
Moving on to Miss Musso, I’m happy (and quite frankly, a little surprised!) to note that she is not here on a panty-soiling violation. But I’m even more surprised to see what she is actually charged with. “Using the boys’ room?” I ask the pretty, spandex-clad Cheerleading coach, “You did a bowel movement in the boys’ room at the competition?” “Yes sir, Mr. Chairman,” she admits. All I can do is shake my head at the shapely, toilet-troubled Miss Musso.
“You make it sound really bad,” she tells us, “But it really wasn’t as bad as it seems.” “Like I said before, this was a cheerleading competition,” Coach Musso points out, “It wasn’t as if the boys’ room was busy.” She goes on to tell us that there actually weren’t any boys in the boys’ room at all at the time she used it. “There were actually quite a few girls in there at the time,” she also tells us, “With the long lines for the girls’ room, girls were using the boys’ room all day.” “It really wasn’t a big deal at the time,” Coach Musso argues. The comment angers me.
It certainly is a big deal,” I tell Coach Musso, a tinge of anger in my voice. “The boys’ room is for boys, not for girls,” I tell her in no uncertain terms, “And it’s certainly not for our cheerleading coach who must certainly is NOT a boy.” My comment draws a few giggles from the assembled crowd, but I’m not at all laughing. “I don’t care how long the line for the girls’ room was,” I lecture the shapely Cheerleading Coach, “You wait in the line and use the appropriate lavatory – At least while you’re serving as Cheerleading coach for us.” “Yes sir, Mr. Chairman,” she assures me contritely. “Just because you’re too lazy to wait in line for the girls’ room is no excuse to use the boys’ room instead.”
But Coach Musso explains that it wasn’t out of laziness that she used the boys’ room. “I was desperate,” she tells us, “I had to go to the bathroom really, really bad.” “I was stuck in that long girls’ room line like Melanie was,” Miss Musso explains, “And I didn’t want to go in my pants like she did.” “I was desperate – At least for #2,” she tells us again, “I was afraid I was going to mess in my panties if I didn’t use the boys’ room instead.” “I only used the boys’ room because I didn’t want to mess in my panties,” she explains.
“Well, that’s all well and good,” I tell her unsympathetically, “I think we’re all thankful you didn’t mess in your panties yet again.” “But there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to take care of your business in the girls’ room,” I explain to her in no uncertain terms, “You know very well that’s where your bowel movements belong.” Upon questioning, Coach Musso acknowledges that all the cheerleaders – Besides Melanie, of course – Managed to do their business in the girls’ room. “Well, if they can manage it, you certainly can,” I tell the lovely but toilet-troubled coach, “If they can be responsible enough at their age to get in line for the girls’ room in time, I certainly expect the same of you at your age.” Coach Musso just nods her head at that – She knows better than to argue with me. “I just didn’t want to have an accident,” is all she can say, “I just didn’t want to mess in my panties.”
In determining Miss Musso’s punishment, I decide that a little creativity is in order. “Since you seem to like the boys’ room so much, we can take advantage of that,” I tell her, “So, for the next 3 weeks when you have to go to the bathroom in school, you’ll use the boys’ room.” At first, she looks at me puzzled. “You mean I have to use the faculty men’s room?” she asks. Her question just makes me laugh – I think she’s knows better than that. “I mean you have to use the student boys’ rooms,” I clarify, “That’s where you’ll be doing your business for the next 3 weeks.” “And if you’re caught using something other than the boys’ room, your punishment is going to last for 3 months instead of 3 weeks,” I warn her. She tries to argue that it wasn’t that she liked using the boys’ room, but just that she was desperate. But it’s all to no avail. “Your punishment stands,” I tell her, “Maybe next time, you’ll learn to be more responsible with your bodily functions at cheerleading events. And I also sentence her to 3 days detention sitting on the toilet (in the boys’ room, of course) and to write 300 times, “I must learn to handle my bodily functions in a more mature manner.”
Moving along with our agenda this afternoon, I see that our next case is from this weekend’s overnight trip to Astronaut Camp. We send a group of students to Astronaut Camp every year and every year it seems that we have toileting problems on the trip. With us this afternoon is Miss Robinson, one of our Science Teachers, who was the chaperone for the trip. And she is here to tell us of 2 toilet violations on the trip – Both of them committed by Penny, a shy senior brunette and one of the top Science students at our school. Penny, an aspiring Astronaut, goes to this camp every year and every year it seems that she has toileting problems there. She also soiled in her panties – In fact, she had a doubleheader – At Astronaut Camp 2 years ago.
This year, Penny faces 2 separate accident charges at Astronaut Camp – Specifically, Panty-Soiling while at the all-day Spaceship Simulation program and Panty-Wetting in bed that night. Since Astronaut Camp is a school program, not only are the students at the camp subject to TVPC regulation, but they are considered to be representing the school. Faithful readers of the TVPC surely know that accidents while representing the school are considered more serious than if the girl just had an accident at school. Accordingly, having 2 accidents while representing the school would subject Penny to some serious punishment indeed.
“Well, she did it again,” reports Miss Robinson, “She refused to use the toilet in the Spaceship Simulator and she messed in her panties instead.” As I recall, the toilet in the Spaceship Simulator only has a curtain for privacy and Penny has had issues with using it before. “That was totally disgusting, Penny,” Miss Robinson tells the toilet-troubled honor student, “When are you going to grow up and get over this little problem of yours.” “This is just ridiculous,” she tells her, shaking her head, “Just because you don’t like the toilet they have its no excuse for not using it when you need to.” “What do you think is going to be like if you actually do become an astronaut,” she lectures Penny, “Are you just going to be LOST IN SPACE up there with a mess in your panties?” Miss Robinson is actually Penny’s older sister, but that certainly doesn’t afford the younger girl any special consideration. In fact, I think Miss Robinson may be a little harder on Penny than most.
For Penny, with her shyness on toilet issues, this is a familiar story. She doesn’t even like to use the girls’ rooms in school for her bowel movements and that’s in a regular public bathroom stall with a locking door on it. In the Spaceship Simulator with a toilet in close proximity to the other campers and with only a curtain for privacy, it’s even worse for her. But while that’s understandable it’s certainly not excusable. Especially, since she really does want to be an astronaut, she does need to get used to going to the bathroom under those conditions. And while it’s not surprising that Penny refuses to have a bowel movement in a toilet without much privacy, it’s no less frustrating for Miss Robinson. The young and lovely Science teacher, as chaperone for the trip, seems to take it personally when one of her girls disgraces herself with an accident. And the panty-soiler being her own sister probably makes it even worse. “Don’t you ever get tired of messing in your panties?” Miss Robinson asks her, “I know I’m really getting tired of you messing in your panties.” “I don’t care if you don’t like the privacy accommodations in the spaceship simulator toilet,” she continues, raising her voice a little, “You still have to use it when you need to.” “Why is astronaut camp always such a problem?” she asks her little sister.
Trying, largely in vain, to fight back the tears, Penny points out that she didn’t mess in her panties at all last year and 2 years ago her soiling was excused because she was wearing an Astronaut Diaper that day. “Well, that was just ridiculous that you were excused for that 2 years ago,” Miss Robinson answers, “If it were up to me, you’d have been punished quite severely for that.” “And last year, you just got lucky,” she also puts out, “You did a bowel movement at the hotel that morning and then you were able to hold it in until you got to the hotel room that night.” “It’s not like you actually used the toilet or anything,” she adds derisively. “Well, I peed in that toilet,” Penny meekly points out. “Well, sometimes we have to do more than just pee, don’t we?” Miss Robinson asks her sarcastically, as Penny just nods and then bows her head in shame.
With that, I ask Miss Robinson to move on to the 2nd charge against Penny – That of wetting her bed. “She’s wet her bed before – She knows she has an issue with this sometimes,” Miss Robinson explains, “Yet she refused to wear any bedwetting protection to bed on the trip.” “You know, I can have some sympathy for Penny on this one,” she continues, “This isn’t quite like messing in her panties – I know it’s not her fault that she wets the bed sometimes.” “But she has to learn to be responsible about her bedwetting problem,” Miss Robinson argues, “She has to wear some protection at night to make sure her bed stays dry.” “And if she doesn’t, she has to face the consequences,” she adds, turning to look at Penny as she says that.
The Science teacher and chaperone makes an important point on this one. The TVPC recognizes that that bedwetting is indeed a problem that some girls – Even those in high school – still have. Accordingly, we don’t always punish a girl for doing it – Especially the first time it happens. But once a girl does wet the bed on a school trip, she goes on “Bedwetting Probation” for a year. When a girl is on bedwetting probation, she has a tough choice to make. She can wear some bedwetting protection to bed on the trip and thereby be excused should she wet in her sleep again. Or the girl can just take her chances and not wear any such protection. Wetting the bed again would then be a punishable offense – Panty-Wetting and that would be Panty-Wetting While Representing the School. A girl who wets into her bedwetting protection would only get her bedwetting probation extended to 1 year from that date.
With Penny’s past bedwetting issues on school trips, I’m quite surprised to hear of her not wearing any bedwetting protection on the trip. I would have thought she’d be smart enough not to go without it and risk the punishment for a wetting accident – Especially one while representing the school on a school trip. And now with a punishment also forthcoming for the panty-soiling while representing the school, poor Penny faces some serious punishment indeed. “Is all that true?” I ask the smart and beautiful senior honor student, “Did you not wear any bedwetting protection this time?” Dejectedly, Penny just shakes her head “no”. “I didn’t really think it was going to be a problem,” she says. “I really don’t usually wet the bed anymore – It’s really been a while since I’d last done it,” she explains, “It usually only happens when I get really nervous or upset about something,” “I was really upset about pooping my pants that day,” she explains further, “I think that’s why I ended up wetting the bed that night.” “I didn’t do it on purpose,” she points out as she begins to cry. “Well, I certainly don’t think you did it on purpose,” I tell her, “But I’d have thought given your problems with bedwetting in the past, you’d have worn pull-ups or something as protection.”
But just as I’m about to accept Penny’s “Guilty” plea on this as well, I notice something that puzzles me. “Did Penny wet the bed at Astronaut Camp last year?” I ask Miss Robinson. “No, sir,” she and Penny both answer in unison. “I didn’t have any accidents at all at camp last year,” Penny quickly adds. “It was on the Science Club trip,” Miss Robinson tells us, “I think that was the last time that Penny wet the bed.” Penny nods her head in agreement with that. “The Science Club trip 2 months ago?” I ask, “No sir, it was on the Science Club trip LAST YEAR,” Penny explains. Miss Robinson nods her head in agreement with that.
That revelation raises a few eyebrows in the committee room. That’s good news for Penny – actually, its VERY good news for Penny. A check of Penny’s school toilet record – A thick file to be sure – Reveals that it was indeed over a year ago when Penny last wet the bed on a school trip. That’s a very important distinction since “Bedwetting Probation” only lasts for a year from when the girl last wet the bed on a school trip. “Actually, Penny, you’re not on bedwetting probation at all,” I explain, “You’ll go on bedwetting probation now after wetting your bed on this trip, but you weren’t actually on bedwetting probation at the time you wet the bed.” “And since you weren’t on bedwetting probation when this happened, you won’t be punished for that,” I explain further, “We’ll make a notation that it happened and, as I said, you are NOW on bedwetting probation again, but your bedwetting this time is not going to be punished.”
As I explain this – And as Penny begins to comprehend it and eases her crying a little – Miss Robinson looks puzzled. “Penny’s wet her bed before – She knows she has a bedwetting problem,” she pretty Science teacher argues, “She really SHOULD be wearing bedwetting protection on school trips all the time.” “Well, maybe she SHOULD – I’m certainly not saying that it wouldn’t be a good idea for her to wear something,” I tell Miss Robinson, “But I’m just saying that under TVPC rules, she doesn’t HAVE TO wear anything.” “It’s been over a year since she last did it,” I point out again, “She simply wasn’t on bedwetting probation when this happened.” “That just isn’t right,” Miss Robinson tells me, shaking her head. “Penny knows she has a bedwetting problem – She’s wet the bed on school trips before,” she argues, “I don’t care if it’s been over a year since the last time – She still should be wearing something for protection.”
“Come on now – Give Penny a break,” I suggest to her, “You said it yourself that bedwetting isn’t something she can control.” “It’s one thing to be mad at her for messing in her panties – Obviously that’s entirely her fault,” I point out, “But bedwetting is a different story.” “Well, maybe so,” Miss Robinson responds. “I know she can’t control what happens in her sleep,” she acknowledges, “But I certainly think she can control what happens to the bed by wearing something just in case she does wet.” With that last part, Miss Robinson turns and glares at Penny. Nevertheless, TVPC rules will prevail in this case and even though Penny is indeed found “Guilty” of bedwetting, it will be noted as “excused” since she wasn’t on bedwetting probation at the time. That determination brings a smile to Penny’s face.
“There’s no reason for you to be smiling, young lady,” I admonish Penny, “Do you think I forgot about your messing in your panties?” “No sir,” Penny says dejectedly as the smile quickly disappears. “And do you think I won’t note that you disgraced not only yourself but our whole school by doing it,” I also point out, “And that I won’t consider how you’ve refused to use the toilet in Spaceship Simulator in the past, as well?” Penny just bows her head in shame. With that, I then give her the stern punishment of 2 weeks of toilet sitting detention and having to write 1,000 times “I will not soil my panties in school or at Astronaut Camp again.” Hearing that, she just bursts into tears again. She begs me to reconsider. Through her tears she questions me why it isn’t 500 times and 1 week of detention – the more customary punishment or a first soiling accident while representing the school. “I’m afraid 500 times isn’t going to cut it this time,” I explain, “Not after all the toilet problems you’ve had at Astronaut Camp.” “And you’re a senior now, Penny,” I also point out, “That makes this even more shameful than it was before.” “When are you going to learn, young lady?” I lecture her, “With your record, you’re lucky you’re not writing your 1,000 times on the blackboard instead.”

Moving along with our agenda this afternoon, I see that our next case is from this weekend’s overnight trip to Astronaut Camp. We send a group of students to Astronaut Camp every year and every year it seems that we have toileting problems on the trip. With us this afternoon is Miss Robinson, one of our Science Teachers, who was the chaperone for the trip. And she is here to tell us of 2 toilet violations on the trip – Both of them committed by Penny, a shy senior brunette and one of the top Science students at our school.

She also soiled in her panties – In fact, she had a doubleheader – At Astronaut Camp 2 years ago.
This year, Penny faces 2 separate accident charges at Astronaut Camp – Specifically, Panty-Soiling while at the all-day Spaceship Simulation program and Panty-Wetting in bed that night. Since Astronaut Camp is a school program, not only are the students at the camp subject to TVPC regulation, but they are considered to be representing the school. Faithful readers of the TVPC surely know that accidents while representing the school are considered more serious than if the girl just had an accident at school. Accordingly, having 2 accidents while representing the school would subject Penny to some serious punishment indeed.
“Well, she did it again,” reports Miss Robinson, “She refused to use the toilet in the Spaceship Simulator and she messed in her panties instead.” As I recall, the toilet in the Spaceship Simulator only has a curtain for privacy and Penny has had issues with using it before. “That was totally disgusting, Penny,” Miss Robinson tells the toilet-troubled honor student, “When are you going to grow up and get over this little problem of yours.” “This is just ridiculous,” she tells her, shaking her head, “Just because you don’t like the toilet they have its no excuse for not using it when you need to.” “What do you think is going to be like if you actually do become an astronaut,” she lectures Penny, “Are you just going to be LOST IN SPACE up there with a mess in your panties?” Miss Robinson is actually Penny’s older sister, but that certainly doesn’t afford the younger girl any special consideration. In fact, I think Miss Robinson may be a little harder on Penny than most.
For Penny, with her shyness on toilet issues, this is a familiar story. She doesn’t even like to use the girls’ rooms in school for her bowel movements and that’s in a regular public bathroom stall with a locking door on it. In the Spaceship Simulator with a toilet in close proximity to the other campers and with only a curtain for privacy, it’s even worse for her. But while that’s understandable it’s certainly not excusable. Especially, since she really does want to be an astronaut, she does need to get used to going to the bathroom under those conditions. And while it’s not surprising that Penny refuses to have a bowel movement in a toilet without much privacy, it’s no less frustrating for Miss Robinson. The young and lovely Science teacher, as chaperone for the trip, seems to take it personally when one of her girls disgraces herself with an accident. And the panty-soiler being her own sister probably makes it even worse. “Don’t you ever get tired of messing in your panties?” Miss Robinson asks her, “I know I’m really getting tired of you messing in your panties.” “I don’t care if you don’t like the privacy accommodations in the spaceship simulator toilet,” she continues, raising her voice a little, “You still have to use it when you need to.” “Why is astronaut camp always such a problem?” she asks her little sister.
Trying, largely in vain, to fight back the tears, Penny points out that she didn’t mess in her panties at all last year and 2 years ago her soiling was excused because she was wearing an Astronaut Diaper that day. “Well, that was just ridiculous that you were excused for that 2 years ago,” Miss Robinson answers, “If it were up to me, you’d have been punished quite severely for that.” “And last year, you just got lucky,” she also puts out, “You did a bowel movement at the hotel that morning and then you were able to hold it in until you got to the hotel room that night.” “It’s not like you actually used the toilet or anything,” she adds derisively. “Well, I peed in that toilet,” Penny meekly points out. “Well, sometimes we have to do more than just pee, don’t we?” Miss Robinson asks her sarcastically, as Penny just nods and then bows her head in shame.
With that, I ask Miss Robinson to move on to the 2nd charge against Penny – That of wetting her bed. “She’s wet her bed before – She knows she has an issue with this sometimes,” Miss Robinson explains, “Yet she refused to wear any bedwetting protection to bed on the trip.” “You know, I can have some sympathy for Penny on this one,” she continues, “This isn’t quite like messing in her panties – I know it’s not her fault that she wets the bed sometimes.” “But she has to learn to be responsible about her bedwetting problem,” Miss Robinson argues, “She has to wear some protection at night to make sure her bed stays dry.” “And if she doesn’t, she has to face the consequences,” she adds, turning to look at Penny as she says that.
The Science teacher and chaperone makes an important point on this one. The TVPC recognizes that that bedwetting is indeed a problem that some girls – Even those in high school – still have. Accordingly, we don’t always punish a girl for doing it – Especially the first time it happens. But once a girl does wet the bed on a school trip, she goes on “Bedwetting Probation” for a year. When a girl is on bedwetting probation, she has a tough choice to make. She can wear some bedwetting protection to bed on the trip and thereby be excused should she wet in her sleep again. Or the girl can just take her chances and not wear any such protection. Wetting the bed again would then be a punishable offense – Panty-Wetting and that would be Panty-Wetting While Representing the School. A girl who wets into her bedwetting protection would only get her bedwetting probation extended to 1 year from that date.
With Penny’s past bedwetting issues on school trips, I’m quite surprised to hear of her not wearing any bedwetting protection on the trip. I would have thought she’d be smart enough not to go without it and risk the punishment for a wetting accident – Especially one while representing the school on a school trip. And now with a punishment also forthcoming for the panty-soiling while representing the school, poor Penny faces some serious punishment indeed. “Is all that true?” I ask the smart and beautiful senior honor student, “Did you not wear any bedwetting protection this time?” Dejectedly, Penny just shakes her head “no”. “I didn’t really think it was going to be a problem,” she says. “I really don’t usually wet the bed anymore – It’s really been a while since I’d last done it,” she explains, “It usually only happens when I get really nervous or upset about something,” “I was really upset about pooping my pants that day,” she explains further, “I think that’s why I ended up wetting the bed that night.” “I didn’t do it on purpose,” she points out as she begins to cry. “Well, I certainly don’t think you did it on purpose,” I tell her, “But I’d have thought given your problems with bedwetting in the past, you’d have worn pull-ups or something as protection.”
But just as I’m about to accept Penny’s “Guilty” plea on this as well, I notice something that puzzles me. “Did Penny wet the bed at Astronaut Camp last year?” I ask Miss Robinson. “No, sir,” she and Penny both answer in unison. “I didn’t have any accidents at all at camp last year,” Penny quickly adds. “It was on the Science Club trip,” Miss Robinson tells us, “I think that was the last time that Penny wet the bed.” Penny nods her head in agreement with that. “The Science Club trip 2 months ago?” I ask, “No sir, it was on the Science Club trip LAST YEAR,” Penny explains. Miss Robinson nods her head in agreement with that.
That revelation raises a few eyebrows in the committee room. That’s good news for Penny – actually, its VERY good news for Penny. A check of Penny’s school toilet record – A thick file to be sure – Reveals that it was indeed over a year ago when Penny last wet the bed on a school trip. That’s a very important distinction since “Bedwetting Probation” only lasts for a year from when the girl last wet the bed on a school trip. “Actually, Penny, you’re not on bedwetting probation at all,” I explain, “You’ll go on bedwetting probation now after wetting your bed on this trip, but you weren’t actually on bedwetting probation at the time you wet the bed.” “And since you weren’t on bedwetting probation when this happened, you won’t be punished for that,” I explain further, “We’ll make a notation that it happened and, as I said, you are NOW on bedwetting probation again, but your bedwetting this time is not going to be punished.”
As I explain this – And as Penny begins to comprehend it and eases her crying a little – Miss Robinson looks puzzled. “Penny’s wet her bed before – She knows she has a bedwetting problem,” she pretty Science teacher argues, “She really SHOULD be wearing bedwetting protection on school trips all the time.” “Well, maybe she SHOULD – I’m certainly not saying that it wouldn’t be a good idea for her to wear something,” I tell Miss Robinson, “But I’m just saying that under TVPC rules, she doesn’t HAVE TO wear anything.” “It’s been over a year since she last did it,” I point out again, “She simply wasn’t on bedwetting probation when this happened.” “That just isn’t right,” Miss Robinson tells me, shaking her head. “Penny knows she has a bedwetting problem – She’s wet the bed on school trips before,” she argues, “I don’t care if it’s been over a year since the last time – She still should be wearing something for protection.”
“Come on now – Give Penny a break,” I suggest to her, “You said it yourself that bedwetting isn’t something she can control.” “It’s one thing to be mad at her for messing in her panties – Obviously that’s entirely her fault,” I point out, “But bedwetting is a different story.” “Well, maybe so,” Miss Robinson responds. “I know she can’t control what happens in her sleep,” she acknowledges, “But I certainly think she can control what happens to the bed by wearing something just in case she does wet.” With that last part, Miss Robinson turns and glares at Penny. Nevertheless, TVPC rules will prevail in this case and even though Penny is indeed found “Guilty” of bedwetting, it will be noted as “excused” since she wasn’t on bedwetting probation at the time. That determination brings a smile to Penny’s face.
“There’s no reason for you to be smiling, young lady,” I admonish Penny, “Do you think I forgot about your messing in your panties?” “No sir,” Penny says dejectedly as the smile quickly disappears. “And do you think I won’t note that you disgraced not only yourself but our whole school by doing it,” I also point out, “And that I won’t consider how you’ve refused to use the toilet in Spaceship Simulator in the past, as well?” Penny just bows her head in shame. With that, I then give her the stern punishment of 2 weeks of toilet sitting detention and having to write 1,000 times “I will not soil my panties in school or at Astronaut Camp again.” Hearing that, she just bursts into tears again. She begs me to reconsider. Through her tears she questions me why it isn’t 500 times and 1 week of detention – the more customary punishment or a first soiling accident while representing the school. “I’m afraid 500 times isn’t going to cut it this time,” I explain, “Not after all the toilet problems you’ve had at Astronaut Camp.” “And you’re a senior now, Penny,” I also point out, “That makes this even more shameful than it was before.” “When are you going to learn, young lady?” I lecture her, “With your record, you’re lucky you’re not writing your 1,000 times on the blackboard instead.”
