REPOST: Toilet Violations Punishment Committee

[Arnold Ziffel]

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 Tuesday, September 24, 2019.

As I enter the committee room for today’s session of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC), I cannot help but notice a very strong and very distinct odor emanating from “Defendants’ Row.” With 5 cases of “Panty-Soiling” on the agenda today -- and apparently 4 of them currently sitting along Defendants’ Row in their soiled panties -- it’s not too hard to figure out what that smell is.

For our first panty-soiling case today, though, we’ll take the girl who is not currently in soiled panties. For this I call Ariel, an athletic sophomore of MEDIUM build with darkish blonde hair, who is a member of our Field Hockey team. She has pleaded “Guilty” to the offense which would be a first “Panty-Soiling” violation of the school year for her as well as her first toilet violation overall. This was a panty-soiling that apparently happened late yesterday afternoon at field hockey practice.

“Am I correct in noting that this happened at a PRACTICE session?” I ask Ms. Watson, the pretty and easy-going Field Hockey coach. “Yes, Mr. Chairman, it was at practice yesterday afternoon,” she answers me. “I’m not sure exactly when during the practice that she did it, but I noticed it just as we were heading back to the school locker room when practice was over.” “Ariel doesn’t like to use port-o-potties,” the coach comments, although the comment seems more directed to Ariel than me, “At least when it comes to doing her bowel movements.” “We wear skirts during our games and sometimes a girl can hide an accident under her skirt -- Especially if it’s not a bad one,” Coach Watson notes, “But at practice girls just usually wear shorts and there’s no hiding a mess like Ariel did under a regular pair of shorts.” Ariel, very much a friendly but sensitive sort, looks a bit embarrassed by her coach’s description of her panty-soiling accident.

But whether she did it while wearing a skirt or while wearing shorts makes little difference to the TVPC. What’s important to the TVPC is that this happened at practice rather than at an actual Field Hockey game against another school. “I think you can consider yourself lucky, young lady,” I lecture the sophomore beauty, “You should consider yourself lucky that this happened at a practice rather than at a game.” “An accident at a game against another school always gets a girl a more substantial punishment,” I explain to her, “We consider that not only an embarrassment to yourself but an embarrassment to our whole school.” “But having an accident at a practice is basically the same thing as having an accident in school,” I explain further, “And you don’t even get punished at all when it’s your first offense.” “As I said, you’re quite lucky that this was only an accident at practice rather than at a game,” I tell the pretty and popular Ariel.

“Well, she came pretty close to having an accident at a game this past Saturday,” Coach Watson chimes in again, and again it’s a comment more directed at Ariel than us, “Judging by the mad dash you made to the girls’ room when we got back here, I’d have to think you were lucky to have made it to the toilet in time.” “Yes, Ma’am,” Ariel humbly acknowledges, nodding her head. “And judging by the quantity you did in the toilet, I’d have to say you were mighty lucky that you didn’t do all that in your pants,” the coach adds, “Even with a skirt on, I don’t think you’d have been able to conceal a load like that.” Ariel just nods her hear in acknowledgement -- She no doubt knows that she’s only getting a warning for this as it is her first accident violation and her first toilet violation overall -- and no doubt just wants to get on with it.

But Coach Watson has a point to make. “That was another incidence of not wanting to use a port-o-potty, wasn’t it?” she asks the girl, “That’s why you almost had an accident Saturday -- It was because you were holding it in rather than using the port-o-potty they had at the field there?” “And the accident that you did have yesterday was because you didn’t want to use the port-o-potty down there at our own field?” the coach asks. Ariel then admits that what her coach is saying is true. “I just don’t like port-o-potties -- I just don’t,” the athletic beauty says, “I guess they’re alright to just squat in and pee but definitely not for the other thing.” “I was just trying to hold in and wait and go in a regular toilet,” she explains, “I just can’t stand using a port-o-potty for that.” The coach is left shaking her head. “Sometimes a port-o-potty is all that we get at Field Hockey games,” the coach tells her sympathetically but firmly, “No one is saying that you need to like it but sometimes you just need to grin and bear it and just do what you need to do.” “You have a bright future as a Field Hockey player, young lady,” the coach continues, “But unless you can get over these issues you’re having with port-o-potties, we’re going to have a problem.” “Obviously, we cannot have you just going in your pants because you don’t want to use port-o-potties,” Coach Wastson adds.

As noted, this time Ariel is only getting a warning, but I want to be doubly sure that she understands that warning. “This time it’s only a warning, young lady,” I reiterate, “But next time it’ll be a punishment and the punishments will keep getting worse the more accidents you have.” The pretty field hockey player indicates that she understands. He coach expresses the same sentiment. “You many be getting off easy this time,” she warns Ariel, “But it’s not going to be that way if you have any more accidents -- Especially if you have one at a game.”

But Ariel tells us that she really didn’t get off as easy as we think. “It’s one thing to get off with just a warning here at school,” she says, “But I didn’t get off with just a warning from my mom at home.” She tells us that she not only got yelled at and grounded at home but her mom made her clean up the mess. “She made me clean myself using only toilet paper,” Ariel explains, “And by that time the mess was smeared really bad all over me.” “It took me 2 entire rolls of toilet paper to wipe myself clean,” she explains further, “I thought I was going to get sick it was so disgusting.” “And mom made me clean out my panties, too,” she continues, “First, I had to shake the load out in the toilet and then she made me scrub the panties clean in the sink.” “They were a complete mess,” she says, “I thought I’d never get them clean but mom made me keep scrubbing until I did.”

“And you’d rather risk going through all that again rather than use a port-o-potty and avoid all that?” Coach Watson asks her. “I don’t ever want to have to go through that again,” Ariel answers, “Even without any punishment at school, I don’t ever want to clean up a mess like that again.” “Well, perhaps you can think of that the next time you need to have a bowel movement and only port-o-potties are available,” the coach suggests, “If you just go in the port-o-potty you don’t have to worry about cleaning up a mess later.” Hopefully Ariel will head her coach’s wise words and we won’t have to see her before the TVPC again.

In the meantime, she’s dismissed with just a warning today.

Moving on to panty-soiling cases from today, I’m pleased to recognize the hard work of Miss Mars, a gym teacher and great friend of the TVPC. Two of the panty-soiling cases for today are cases from Miss Mars. “I don’t know what it is, Mr. Chairman,” the pretty, blonde-haired gym teacher tells me, “I don’t know why but gym class seems to bring out the worst in our girls when it comes to their toilet habits.” “Well, I don’t know if it’s so much girls actually having accidents in gym class,” I suggest to Miss Mars, “But if a girl does have an accident in her pants, it’s pretty hard to hide that while changing for gym.” “And it’s doubly hard to get away with it while you’re keeping watch in the girls’ locker room,” I tell her complimentarily. Miss Mars is well-known throughout the school for her diligence in patrolling the girls’ locker room and checking for accidents while the girls are changing. “I’ve always found that the girls’ locker room while the girls are changing is a good place to check for toilet violations -- especially accidents,” she tells me. “But the 2 I have today are accidents that actually happened in gym class,” she notes, “These are definitely not girls having accidents somewhere else and only getting caught while changing in the girls’ locker room.”

For our first panty-soiling case for today, we have Esther, a smart but quirky freshman brunette. Standing before the TVPC, it’s readily obvious that she’s got quite a load under those loose-fitting jeans. It looks like a solid load that is easily contained in her panties, but it’s quite a big load nonetheless. Turning to Miss Mars, the pretty gym teacher reports that she caught Esther in soiled panties in the girls’ locker room before 3rd period gym class this morning. Another girl -- a fellow freshman named Eve -- was apparently ALONE TOGETHER with Esther in a corner in the girls’ locker room and then alerted Miss Mars as to what Esther had done. Though it’s only 3 weeks into her high school career, Esther is already a familiar face to the TVPC, having wet her pants during the first week of school.

“I’m tempted to charge her with messing in her panties on purpose,” Miss Mars tells us, “I caught her just sitting there on a bench in the girls’ locker room with that big load in her panties.” “And obviously you can see that it’s quite a big load,” Miss Mars continues, “It’s obvious she did the whole bowel movement in her pants and didn’t hold any of it in.” As faithful readers of the TVPC surely know, messing in your panties on purpose is a more serious offense than when it’s merely an accident. Similarly, a pants-wetting is more serious when it’s intentional rather than accidental.

But Esther vehemently denies that she went in her pants on purpose. “I didn’t do it on purpose -- It was an accident,” she says, “It happened while I was getting changed for gym class.” “Why would I go in my pants on purpose? -- That’s just disgusting!” she says in an exaggerated tone. “Why would you do it AT ALL?” Eve chimes in, a tinge of anger (or at least, disgust) in her voice, “You ain’t kidding when you say it’s disgusting -- It’s absolutely repulsive that you would do that.” “How can you not go to the toilet when you need to go?” Eve, a pretty and athletic brunette, asks Esther incredulously, “How can you just sit there on a bench in the locker room and just go in your pants?” Eve, even though only a freshman herself, is already making a name for herself as an athlete at our school and a feisty one at that. Rumors are that she used to wrestle boys her age and often ended up as the LAST MAN STANDING. She’s obviously not pleased to have been changing next to Esther in the locker room when Esther messed in her panties. Esther, though, takes exception to Eve’s comments. She once again asserts that it was only an accident. “You make it sound like I did it on purpose -- Well, I didn’t do it on purpose,” the quirky freshman brunette tells Eve, “I was trying to hold it in and I just had an accident.”

Immediately, I bang my gavel as I’m not about to let this turn into a debate between these 2 freshman girls. Instead, I turn to Miss Mars. “Are you charging her with messing her panties on purpose or are you not?” I ask the very pretty, blonde-haired gym teacher, “I mean, the load in Esther’s panties is obvious but the question is whether it got there via an accident or did Esther just let it out into her panties on purpose?” Miss Mars thinks about it for a while and I can see that she’s conflicted on the issue. “I guess I’m only charging it as an accident, Mr. Chairman,” Miss Mars then tells me, obviously reluctantly. “It doesn’t seem like Esther made much of an effort to do it in the toilet but I guess I can’t really say that she did it in her pants on purpose.” Miss Mars understands, of course, that it’s very difficult under TVPC rules to convict a girl of going in her pants on purpose.

Looking over at Esther she seems relieved that she’ll only get the lesser punishment for an ACCIDENTAL panty-soiling. Eve, however, takes exception to that. “It was on purpose -- It was obviously on purpose,” the pretty and athletic brunette chimes in angrily, “She just sat there on the bench in the locker room messing in her pants.” “How can you say that’s only an accident?” Eve angrily continues, her comments directed to Miss Mars. But before Miss Mars can even answer, Esther jumps in to defend herself. “It was AN ACCIDENT -- I just had an accident,” the bright but underachieving Esther responds, “I didn’t do it on purpose -- I just had AN ACCIDENT!” “People do have accidents sometimes -- Nobody is perfect, you know?” she tells Eve, “Haven’t you ever heard of someone having an accident?”

Eve, bright and articulate as she is, doesn’t miss a beat in responding back. “Yes, I’ve heard of people having accidents,” she tells Esther, “I know that people have problems sometimes and just can’t get to the toilet in time.” “But I don’t consider it an accident when a girl obviously CAN get to the toilet in time but just decides not to,” Eve says, “I really don’t consider it an accident when a girl knows she has to go but just sits down someplace and does it in her pants rather than going to the bathroom instead.” Eve then explains that she was using the toilet in the girls’ locker room bathroom when she saw Esther over by the sinks. “I was using the doorless stall so I could see Esther plain as day,” she says, “She was looking over at the toilets like she was trying to decide whether to use one of them or not.” “When I was done, I offered her the use of my stall -- I assumed that she only had to pee like I’d just done,” Eve explains, “I offered to stand guard for her so she could have some privacy in the open stall, but she declined.” “Look, I can certainly understand her not wanting to go #2 in the doorless stall,” Eve explains further, “But there’s just no excuse for not even using a different stall when she obviously had to go really, really bad.” “But instead she just went over to the changing area, sat down on the bench and just did it in her pants,” Eve reminds us. “That’s disgusting!” she reiterates, “That’s just totally disgusting!!”

Eve then turns to Miss Mars again and asks how is that not considered messing in her panties on purpose. “That’s not an accident as far as I’m concerned,” she tells Miss Mars, “How can you say that’s only an accident what she did?” “ Well, that’s not really an accident in my book, either,” Miss Mars acknowledges, “But my book is not THE book -- The TVPC rulebook is the only book that matters.” I then explain to Eve that the TVPC rules on this are very specific. “It can’t just be that a girl refuses to use the toilet and accepts having an accident,” I explain to Eve, “To be considered purposeful a girl has to actually let it come out in her panties.” “If a girl makes ANY attempt at all to hold it in, it’s only considered an accident,” I explain further, “To be considered intentional a girl must actually push it out into her pants or at least provide no resistance to it coming out in her pants.”

With that, Eve seems to understand a little better. I ask her if she can honestly say that she saw Esther actually push out her load or at least just let it out without any resistance. Shaking her head, she admits that she cannot. Asking the same question of Miss Mars, she, too, admits that she can’t say for sure that Esther either pushed it out or just let it out on purpose. Accordingly, the TVPC finds Esther “Guilty” of an ACCIDENTAL “Panty-Soiling.” Miss Mars then asks for an enhanced punishment based both on the circumstances of this particular “accident” and the size of the load in Esther’s panties. I do consider that, but I also have to consider that she’s only a freshman and that it’s only her 2nd accident offense of the school year with her first being only a wetting accident. Soiling accidents are, of course, considered more serious than wetting ones. I then sentence Esther to 3 hours of detention of having to write, “I will not soil my panties in school again” 250 times. That’s more than the usual punishment for a 2nd accident violation but nearly what she’d have gotten for messing in her panties on purpose.

REPOST: Toilet Violations Punishment Committee

For the next panty-soiling case this afternoon, I am disappointed to see that it’s Amy, a cute blonde-haired freshman who is a member of our school band. For Amy, it’s already her 2nd panty-soiling violation of the school year -- Having already done one at band camp last summer. It’s not a particularly bad mess -- it’s barely noticeable under her loose fitting jeans -- but looking closely you can clearly see a bit of a lump from the load in her panties and a bit of discoloration in the seat of her jeans where the mess apparently leaked through a little bit.

“I must say that I’m a bit disappointed in you, Amy,” I tell the braces-clad freshman cutie,” When we last saw you, you said you had learned your lesson from the accident you had at band camp.” “You said that even if you didn’t like the bathroom, you learned that it was still better to use it rather than to mess in your panties,” I point out. “You talked about how much you hated having the mess in your pants when you did it at band camp,” I remind her, “You mentioned how much easier it was to just use the toilet rather than having to clean it out of your panties later.” “And you really did seem to have learned your lesson,” I further point out, “You apparently used the toilet and didn’t have any more accidents for the rest of the band camp.” But, while praising her for that, I also reiterate how disappointed in her I am for the accident she had today. “I was really hopeful that you wouldn’t be having accidents in school, Amy,” I tell her, “I was really hoping that when you needed to have a bowel movement in school, you’d be doing it in the girls’ room instead of your pants.”

Amy, though, tells me that she has been using the girls’ room in school when she needs to. She tells me that she “made” in the girls’ room up here on the 2nd floor yesterday and that she “made” in the girls’ room here one time during the first week of school. She says that that bathroom is the nicest in the school. “I have my English class and my History class up her on the 2nd Floor and the girls’ room up here is the nicest in the school,” she says. “I like how the stalls all have good locks on the doors and the doors close tightly and don’t leave any gaps that people can see through,” she continues, “I like that no one can see into the stall when I’m on the toilet.” “I get a pass from either of my teachers and go during class when I can have more privacy,” she explains, “Usually there’s no one else in there when I get a pass and go make during class time.”

“But you didn’t go make in the girls’ room today, did you?” I ask Amy, “It would seem that you made in your pants today, doesn’t it?” Amy then looks down at the floor, and fighting back tears, admits that she did. That is, she did “make” in her pants. “I’m sorry, sir -- I’m sorry, Miss Mars,” she says. “I didn’t mean to go in my pants again -- I really didn’t,” she insists, “I just had an accident.” “I just didn’t want to do it in the girls’ locker room -- It’s just so gross in there,” she explains further, “The stalls aren’t really as nice and all the other girls changing in there can hear what you’re doing on the toilet.” But Miss Mars points out that she offered to let Amy go during class time. “I saw that you were trying to hold it in, Amy,” she reminds the girl, “I say how desperate you were getting during class and offered to let you go back to the locker room to do what you needed to do.” “I told you then that you SHOULD go back to the locker room and use the girls’ room, didn’t I?” she asks the girl. “But you didn’t go then even though you were really desperate to?” Miss Mars continues, “You continued trying to just hold it in and a little while after that, it all came out in your panties, didn’t it?” Breaking down in tears, the shy and sweet freshman cutie acknowledges that what her gym teacher is saying is all true. “But the girls’ room up here on the 2nd Floor is just so much nicer,” Amy insists, “I’d just rather go there when I have to make rather than the girls’ locker room.”

“It’s actually a good thing that you’ve found a girls’ room here at school that you don’t mind using,” I then tell her, “I’m pleased that you can go in there and have bowel movements here in school when you need to.” “But you can’t always be guaranteed to be able to use that particular bathroom,” I explain, “Sometimes you’re going to have to be doing your business here in a different bathroom.” Amy, drying her tears a bit, nods like she understands but I wonder if she’s really learned her lesson. This being her 2nd panty-soiling of the school year, she gets 2 hours of detention and has to write, “I will not soil my panties in school again” 200 times.

Before moving on to our other accident cases today, I see that Miss Mars has another matter -- a non-accident case -- on the agenda today. As she is already up at the podium, I decide to deal with this case now.

For this, I call before the TVPC 3 juniors -- specifically, Regina, Gretchen and Karen. These girls -- MEAN GIRLS through and through -- have been accused of “Harassment” against another girl. I also note the presence in the committee room of their victim -- a quite pretty but very self-conscious junior blonde named Jan. Jan is herself a very bright and very pretty girl but suffers from comparisons to her older sister Marcia. I thought that with Marcia having graduated last year, this would be an opportunity for Jan to come into her own, but apparently the year isn’t exactly off to a good start for her. Already in just the first 3 weeks of school Jan has toilet violations for being late to class for bathroom purposes and urinating (accidentally) on a toilet seat. Looking on the bright side, though, thus far she’s without a panty-soiling violation.

Before proceeding with this case, however, I must ascertain if it qualifies for TVPC jurisdiction. As faithful readers of the TVPC surely know, the TVPC only punishes toilet related offenses. Matters not toilet related are strictly the province of our school principal, Mr. Kaufman. A case of “Harassment” can go either way depending upon the specifics of what the case is about. Even Miss Mars herself isn’t sure if she should have brought this case here or referred it to Mr. Kaufman. “It all happened while the girls were changing for gym class today,” Miss Mars explains, “And the whole thing happened in the changing area -- the harassment didn’t even take place in the bathroom area.” “And it wasn’t about something that even happened in the bathroom at school at all,” Miss Mars explains further, “But it was kind of about a bathroom matter and that’s why I think the case actually belongs here rather than with Mr. Kaufman.”

“Jan was wearing a diaper -- she was wearing a freaking diaper,” Regina then calls out loudly, “How can you expect a girl not to get teased when she’s standing in the girls’ locker room wearing a freaking diaper. Gretchen and Karen then giggle at the notion of that. It’s not surprising at all that Regina was the ringleader of this whole incident. Admonishing Regina for calling out like that, I then turn to Miss Mars for a further explanation. “The girls were changing for gym class and apparently when Jan pulled down her pants, they could see that Jan wasn’t wearing regular underwear,” Miss Mars reports, “She was wearing some sort of pull-ups or training pants or something.” “I was patrolling the locker room like I usually do,” the ever vigilant gym teacher explains, “I was over by the toilet area keeping a close watch there as there was a line for the toilets.” “Then suddenly I heard a bit of a commotion over in the changing area,” she continues, “Regina had announced to the whole locker room that Jan was wearing a diaper.” “When I went over there I saw the three of them laughing at and teasing Jan about it,” Miss Mars explains further, “Regina was obviously the ringleader but the other 2 of them had something to say as well.” “Jan was very upset and embarrassed,” she adds, “The poor girl was crying.”

Taking a moment to maintain control of my anger at Regina and her friends, I first address Miss Mars. I commend her for bringing this case and confirm with her that this is indeed an appropriate case for the TVPC. TVPC rules clearly prohibit girls for teasing and harassing other girls over bathroom related matters. “It may not have happened in the girls’ room itself or be directly related to a girl having an accident,” I tell the pretty gym teacher and note for the record, “But Jan’s lack of regular panties certainly appears to be toilet-related.”

Turning now to Jan, she confirms what we all suspected -- that she’s being required by her parents to wear those training pants as punishment for messing in her regular panties. “It happened when we all took a trip to Hawaii this past summer,” Jan acknowledges, “I messed in my bathing suit on the beach there one afternoon and I messed in my panties on the plane coming home.” “The first time it happened was during a hula lesson on the beach,” The accident-prone junior admits, “I was trying to hold it in while the lesson was going on but I didn’t make it.” “Of course, everyone saw it and my mom was furious with me,” Jan explains, “She took me back to the hotel and made me clean up the mess and scrub out my bathing suit.” She also explains that her parents then put on some sort of probation for the accident. “They didn’t exactly make me start wearing the pull-ups for that one,” Jan tells us, “I had been doing really well -- It had been a while since my last accident before that.” “But they did warn me that one more accident would mean going back to the training pants,” the pretty blonde explains further, “The warned me that if I did it in my panties again, it would be no more panties for at least a month.” “And then you did mess in your panties again?” I ask her. “Yes sir -- As I said, it happened on the plane coming home,” she tells us, “I was trying to hold it in because I didn’t want to go in the bathroom on the plane.” “And for that, your parents are making you wear the pull-ups instead of your regular underwear?” I ask her. “Yes sir,” she affirms, “At first, it was going to be actual diapers but then they relented and decided that I could wear the pull-ups instead.” “They worried that I’d have trouble managing an actual diaper when I was using the girls’ room in school,” she explains, “The last thing they wanted was to discourage me from going to the bathroom in school when I needed to.” “If I go a month without having an accident in the pull-up, I can get my regular panties back,” Jan adds.

Jan’s punishment from her parents is, of course, not a matter for the TVPC. Nor are her accidents on vacation this past summer. But the fact that Jan is having to wear the pull-ups as punishment for her panty-soilings and the fact that Regina, Gretchen, and Karen teased her for wearing the pull-up, clearly makes this harassment of Jan a toilet-related matter.

I note that for the record and once again, thank Miss Mars for her diligence in bringing this case to us. I’m a bit puzzled, through, how this suddenly became an issue today. “I mean, we’re 3 weeks into the school year,” I point out to Jan, “And haven’t you been wearing the pull-ups the whole time.” “Yes sir -- My parents took away my underwear right when we got back from Hawaii,” Jan tells me, “I’ve only got a week and a half to go before I get my regular panties back.” Getting more to my point, though, Miss Mars explains that previously Jan had been going into a toilet stall to change. “But I was in a hurry today and there was a line for the toilets,” Jan explains, “I think one of the toilets was clogged and out of order or something.” “Yes, we had a toilet clogged for a while today,” Miss Mars confirms, “And with one of them out of order, that created a line for girls trying to use the other ones.” That, of course, left Jan to change by the lockers in front of the other girls.” “Most of the girls were nice about the whole thing,” Miss Mars proudly points out, “They just quietly let Jan go about her business getting changed for gym.” “But then there was Regina and her MEAN GIRLS friends,” the pretty gym teacher tells us angrily, though mostly directing the comment to them, “Their attitude about it certainly reflects more unfavorably on them than anything Jan did.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Mars,” I tell her and that’s also a comment more directed at Regina and her friends than Miss Mars, “All 3 of them are in for an attitude adjustment this afternoon.” “Well ladies, around here we don’t tease girls about their bathroom matters,” I admonish them, “And those that do get punished and hopefully it’s severe enough that they won’t do it again.” “Apparently Regina was the ringleader of all this and that will most certainly be reflected in her punishment,” I tell them and note for the record, “But none of you are innocent.”

For punishment, Regina will write Jan a 2,000 word letter of apology to Jan while Gretchen and Karen will each write 1,000 word apologies. Gretchen and Karen will also write, “I will not tease other girls about bathroom matters again,” 250 times while Regina will have to write that 500 times. And finally, all three of them will serve detention here in the committee room. And they’ll serve it standing in the corner facing the wall each with a sign on her back stating, “I tease other girls about their bathroom matters.” Regina will serve 5 days of that detention while the other 2 will serve 3 days. “Obviously, that will give them something to think about the next time they’re tempted to tease another girl about something like that,” I tell Miss Mars, although I say it more for Jan’s benefit than anyone else’s.

In closing I wish Jan the best of luck. “Hopefully, you’ll manage to keep your pull-ups clean and get your regular underwear back soon,” I tell her. Jan nods her head, obviously hoping for the same.

REPOST: Toilet Violations Punishment Committee

Getting back to our accident cases, I’m pleased to welcome Mrs. Defequer, our excellent and quite strict French teacher. Apparently, our next panty-soiling is one that happened in 6th period French class today. This one is apparently a case where the girl had to go and asked to go, but Mrs. Defequer wouldn’t give her a pass to the girls’ room. We’ll get more into the details of that in a minute.

Standing before us in soiled panties now -- the load readily obvious through her skin tight jeans -- is Angela, a blonde-haired sophomore and a real AMERICAN BEAUTY. Angela’s best friend Jane -- a brunette and a real AMERICAN BEAUTY herself -- is also here serving detention for her own panty-soiling accident yesterday. That one was a case of Jane trying to hold it in too long rather than go #2 at school.

But getting back to Angela -- a petite but sexy and outgoing girl to be sure -- she’s quite disgusted and angry about what happened. “I told you that I needed to go to the bathroom -- Look at what you made me do,” she yells at Mrs. Defequer, “I told you that I had an emergency -- I told you that I had to go really bad.” “Do you have any idea how much poop I’ve got in my pants now?” Angela asks her French teacher, “Do you have any idea how disgusting this is?” Before she goes any further, I take a moment to caution her. I warn her to watch her tone and attitude. “I know you’re upset about having an accident -- I know you’re upset about having a mess in your panties,” I warn her, “But the last thing you need now is another punishment.” “This is only your first panty-soiling of the year and it’s not going to be a bad punishment at all,” I remind her, “The last thing you want to do is say something you’ll regret and get an even worse punishment.”

Angela calms down a bit, takes a deep breath, and calmly explains to me how frustrating this whole thing has been. “It’s not like I was trying to hold it in because I didn’t want to do it in the bathroom here at school,” she tells me, “I’m not like that -- When I need to go at school, I just go and do it.” “I begged Mrs. Defequer to let me go to the girls’ room and do it,” the blonde-haired beauty continues, “But she wouldn’t let me go -- No matter how much I begged her, she just wouldn’t let me have a girls’ room pass.” Of course, I remind her, as faithful readers of the TVPC surely know, that teachers are under no obligation to excuse students from class for bathroom purposes. “It’s strictly at the discretion of the teacher,” I remind Angela, “Some teachers will let girls go to the bathroom during class and some teachers will not.”

“And I’m one of those teachers that WILL let my students go to the bathroom,” Mrs. Defequer chimes in, “I think I’m pretty liberal when it comes to allowing girls’ room passes on class time.” “But I’m also not a patsy as to just letting girls leave class when they want to,” the strict French teacher continues, “I believe that girls belong in class unless they have a real emergency to use the girls’ room.” “Well, what do you call this?” Angela jumps in, pointing to the seat of her jeans bulging from her load. “I would certainly call this an emergency, wouldn’t you?” she asks Mrs. Defequer angrily, “If mine wasn’t a real emergency, I don’t know what is.” But before Mrs. Defequer can answer, I bang my gavel. Once again, I’m forced to warn Angela about her comments and to be careful not to do anything warrant an additional punishment.

That also gives Mrs. Defequer an opportunity to step back and avoid directly arguing with Angela. Instead, Mrs. Defequer reminds Angela (and us on the TVPC, too) of her classroom policy. “You know the rules, Angela -- You know how it works in my classroom,” she tells the girl, “You know that each girl gets 3 girls’ room passes per month in my class.” “You get 3 chances to go and then that’s it until next month,” Mrs. Defequer explains, “You just need to learn to use those passes more wisely.” Apparently, Angela has already used her 3 girls’ room passes for September and didn’t have any left to be used today. “We’re only 3 weeks into the school year and you’ve already used all your passes for September,” she reminds Angela, “Hopefully, you’ll learn to be more careful with your passes in October.”

“But sometimes I’m gonna need to go more than 3 times per month,” Angela argues, “I can’t always control when I have to go -- Sometimes I just can’t limit it to 3 times per month.” “I have lunch the period before and that’s going to be a problem for me,” Angela continues, “Sometimes I’m going to have an emergency and I just can’t wait.” “It’s not just a matter of using my passes wisely,” Angela argues further, “I only go when it’s an emergency as is but 3 times per month just isn’t enough.”

Angela’s argument, though, provokes a response from the spectators’ section. “OH PLEASE!” comes a response form Mary, a tall junior beauty who is best known as the leading scorer on our highly regarded girls’ basketball team. “Oh Please!” Mary repeats in response to Angela. “You only use your bathroom passes wisely?” she quotes Angela sarcastically, “Oh Please!” Normally, I would admonish someone for calling out like that but I have a hunch that Mary actually has something to add to the discussion. Accordingly, I ask pretty and athletic junior to elaborate.

Mary tells us that she was in the girls’ room one time last week when Angela came in. “Angela is in the same French class with my sister Lucy and that was the same period that Lucy has French,” Mary explains, “So I assume that Angela was using one of those girls’ room passes then.” “But the thing is that Angela didn’t even use the toilet at all,” Mary continues, “She just went over to the mirrors over the sinks and adjusted her hair and makeup and stuff.” “I was in there myself on the toilet a while with a stomach ache and I saw the whole thing through the crack of the stall door,” Mary explains further, “And Angela didn’t even go anywhere near the stalls.” The implication, of course, is that if Angela hadn’t used a girls’ room pass for a trivial reason then, she’d have had one left to use today and wouldn’t have ended up messing in her panties. Hearing that, Mrs. Defequer just shakes her head at Angela. “You need to learn to use your passes more wisely, “Mrs. Defequer reiterates to the sexy blonde beauty, “Maybe next time you won’t think that fixing your hair and make-up is as big an emergency as what you needed to do today.” With that, Angela is left with nothing more to say.

It’s her first panty-soiling of the school year -- It’s actually the first accident she’s had in high school -- but having a previous toilet violation this year (improperly squatting to urinate), she is not entitled to be let off with just a warning for this one. Still, it’s not a very serious offense at all. For punishment, I give her an hour of detention and assign her to write 100 times, “I will not soil my panties in school again.” Hopefully, simply having spent the afternoon in messy panties will be enough incentive for her to be more careful with girls’ room passes in the future. I ask Mrs. Defequer if she would like to pursue any charges against Angela for misusing a girls’ room pass. “She used a pass to the girls’ room for something other than necessary bodily functions,” I point out to the strict French teacher, “It’s up to you but if you want to pursue charges against her for that, the TVPC will certainly here the case.” But Mrs. Defequer declines. “My philosophy is that those 3 passes per month belong to the student,” she explains with a smile, “If they think it’s more important to go to the girls’ room to fix their hair and makeup instead of saving them for when they really need to use the toilet, that’s entirely up to them.” I guess she’s perfectly fine with some students having to learn their lesson the hard way.

For our next panty-soiling case this afternoon, I call Jessie, a quiet junior with shoulder-length blonde hair, before the TVPC. I’m quite surprised to see her charged with “Panty-Soiling” as she typically handles both of her bodily functions in school without any problems. She had one panty-soiling accident her freshman year and one wetting accident last year but that’s all as far as accidents are concerned. But today, Jessie was caught by our ace bathroom monitor Mrs. Johns, sitting on a toilet in the Science Wing girls’ room with a mess in her panties. “It wasn’t really a bad mess -- I’m thinking she might have done a good portion of the bowel movement in the toilet,” Mrs. Johns reports, “But unfortunately she also did a good bit of it in her pants.”

“Guilty, sir,” Jessie tells me, obviously embarrassed, “I did have an accident this morning.” “Mrs. Johns is right,” the pretty and studious blonde continues, “I did manage to do most of it in the toilet but unfortunately some did come out in my panties on the way to the girls’ room.” “I’m sorry -- This was just so stupid of me,” she adds. It’s indeed a pleasure to see someone not making excuses for having an accident and I tell her so. “I’m glad to see you taking responsibility for what you did,” I compliment the pretty honor student, “I really get tired of hearing excuses from girls who have accidents.” “Well, what else can I say, sir,” she tells me, shrugging her shoulders, “They’re my bodily functions and it’s my responsibility to do them in the toilet instead of my pants.” “It’s my responsibility to get to the toilet in time,” the articulate junior continues, “And it’s no one’s fault but mine when I don’t.” “That’s a very mature attitude -- ONCE AND AGAIN your sense of responsibility for your toileting matters is evident,” I tell her, “And since this is only your first offense, they’ll be no punishment but only a warning this time.” “It’s still embarrassing, sir,” she says, “It’s still really embarrassing to mess in my panties in high school.”

“Accidents happen, Jessie,” Mrs. Johns then chimes in sympathetically. “I know it can be embarrassing to mess in your panties -- especially in high school,” the ever helpful restroom monitor tells her, “But you’re hardly the only girl here who has done it.” “Not to mention that it really wasn’t very bad an accident at all,” she adds, “And, as Mr. Ziffel says, you’re not even going to be punished for it this time.”

“Yes -- But I still did it,” she answers, obviously mad at herself, “I can’t believe I could have been so stupid to mess in my panties like this.” Jessie goes on to explain that she has a regular bathroom routine in her day. “I always go to the girls’ room before I go to lunch 5th period and then I go again during 7th period study hall,” she tells us, “I’m usually good all day just doing that.” “Sometimes I’ll go again before I head home if I’m at school late for some reason,” she adds, “But usually I just go those 2 times a day and I’m fine.” She then explains further that this morning she needed to have a bowel movement and that’s unusual for her. “I almost always poop in the morning at home before I come to school,” she tells us, “Sometimes I have to poop again when I go during 7th period, but I almost never need to poop at school in the morning.” “But I went out to dinner last night with my parents for their anniversary and I really ate a lot,” she says, “And I pooped at home last night before going to bed.” “I guess that kind of threw off my schedule,” she continues, “I didn’t have to go again in the morning until I was in 3rd period.” The quiet and reserved junior beauty reiterates how that seemed to throw off her entire routine. “I guess I’m just not used to pooping in the morning at school -- I guess I just didn’t realize how urgent it was,” she says, “I guess it was just really stupid of me to try to hold it in until my regular time of going 5th period.” “Obviously, I just should have asked to go when I needed to,” she says, “I never should have been trying to hold it in until my regular time.”

“I did almost make it, though,” she says, shaking her head, “But I guess almost doesn’t really count when you’re trying to go get to the toilet in time.” “I actually did make it to do most of it in the toilet,” she continues, “But, as Mrs. Johns says, I did quite a bit in my pants, too.” “Mrs. Johns then caught me in the stall after 5th period had started,” Jessie explains, “I was trying to clean myself up the best I could in the stall.” “I had waited until the girls’ room cleared out at the start of 5th period before I started cleaning myself,” she explains further, “I guess Mrs. Johns got suspicious because I was in there so long.” The TVPC, of course, accepts the girl’s explanation. I thank her for her honesty and she is then dismissed with no actual punishment -- just a warning.

Moving on from our load (so to speak) of panty-soiling cases, we have 2 cases of toilet violations from girls actually using the toilet. These 2 cases concern the clogged toilet in the girls’ locker room that Jan referred to earlier. Ally, a shy sophomore brunette, is charged with urinating in the clogged toilet while Monica, a pretty and outgoing senior brunette, is charged with defecating in that same clogged toilet. Neither girl is charged with actually clogging the toilet (Miss Musso and Miss Mars are still conducting an investigation to find the girl who did that) but merely using it after someone else had clogged it. TVPC rules are quite clear that girls may only use properly functioning toilets. A toilet that is clogged, obviously, is not functioning properly and may not be used. Defecating in the clogged is, of course, a more serious violation than merely urinating in one.

Taking the less serious case first -- the urinating in the clogged toilet -- I call Ally, a pretty but shy sophomore, to the podium. She looks extremely nervous -- she’s nervously chewing on her hair -- as she takes the podium. Her friends, Trish, Dez, AND AUSTIN are here with her -- apparently for moral support -- but it seems to do little to calm poor Ally’s nerves. Quite frankly, I’m happy to read that her Violation Report involves having urinated in the toilet as otherwise I’d be very concerned about her wetting her pants now due to her nerves. I’m also happy because Ally -- in spite of her shyness -- is a very sweet and likable young lady and I’m glad she’s not facing a serious punishment today. Unfortunately, I don’t think Ally realizes that.

“Relax, Ally,” I tell her, “I know it’s never pleasant to have to appear before the TVPC, but there’s no reason to get all upset about it.” But Ally is still concerned and quite upset. “Please, sir -- I didn’t know the toilet was clogged when I used it,” she pleads, “Please, sir -- I didn’t mean to do anything wrong.” “I just had to go and I went and did it -- I just peed in the toilet like I’m supposed to,” Ally pleads further, “I just didn’t know the toilet was clogged -- I just didn’t know.” “Please, sir -- If I’d have know the toilet was clogged, I would have used a different toilet,” the pretty sophomore brunette explains, “I didn’t use the clogged toilet on purpose.” I put up my hand to try to stop her but Ally either doesn’t see it or chooses to ignore it. “Please, sir -- Please not a toilet suspension,” Ally, desperate, pleads with me some more, “Please, sir -- Punish me anyway you want but please don’t put me on toilet suspension.” Finally, I put up both my hands signaling for her stop and that, FINALLY, gets the poor girl’s attention.

“Relax Ally -- Just please relax,” I tell her, a bit of desperation in my own voice, “You’re definitely NOT going on toilet suspension for this.” “Ally, please! -- This is just a minor thing,” I tell her, “There’s just no way you’re going on toilet suspension just for this.” “All that you’re facing is just some writing punishment and some detention,” I assure her, “And actually not even very much of either.” That FINALLY seems to calm Ally considerably. Miss Musso echoes my sentiments. “No one is saying is that you urinated in the toilet on purpose,” Miss Musso tells Ally, “I mean, we know you deliberately urinated in the toilet, but I mean, you just didn’t know the toilet was clogged when you did it.” “This is barely even your fault, Ally,” the sexy gym teacher tells her sympathetically, “And girls usually only go on toilet suspension when they do something deliberately bad.” With that, Ally does seem to get it that she’s really not in much trouble at all.

I then ask her to take a deep breath and relax. She does. I then have to ask what made her think that she faced a toilet suspension for this. Ally, a smart girl and an avid reader, tells us it’s from the TVPC regulations that she read. She tells us that she read it in the TVPC regulations about going to the bathroom in an inappropriate place. “I thought the rules said that you can go on toilet suspension for going in an inappropriate place,” Ally explains, “And I thought that my using a toilet was going in an inappropriate place.” I can only smile at Ally’s misunderstanding of the rules. “Well, I guess it is inappropriate to urinate in a clogged toilet,” I explain, “But the regulations you read don’t actually apply to that.” “Using a clogged toilet is covered elsewhere in the rules,” I explain further, “And it’s not a serious offense at all as long as you didn’t know the toilet was clogged when you used it.” Continuing, I explain to her (and everyone else in he committee room) that the section entitled, “Urinating and Defecating In An Inappropriate Place” refers to girls deliberately going on the floor or in a garbage can or in a locker or someplace seriously inappropriate like that. “That‘s the kind of stuff that girls go on toilet suspension for,” I tell her, “It doesn’t refer to girls just going in the toilet even if the toilet they go in is clogged.” “As Miss Musso said, Ally, we don’t put girls on toilet suspension just for a little mistake like using a toilet you didn’t know was clogged,” I add. Miss Musso nods her head in agreement with that and Ally, now looking much happier, nods her head that she understands.

For punishment, Ally is given one hour of detention and assigned to write, “I will not urinate in a clogged toilet in school again” 100 times. Letting it sink in a moment, Ally then happily asks me, “That’s it?” “That’s it, Ally,” I tell her and with that I see her wonderful smile.

REPOST: Toilet Violations Punishment Committee

Turning now to Monica and the slightly more serious offense of defecating in the clogged toilet, it’s unusual to see her here -- it’s unusual to see her anywhere -- without her close FRIENDS Phoebe and Rachel. But then again, it’s not really a complicated case and Monica seems to be taking it all in stride. Pleading “Guilty” she just shakes her head. “At least I didn’t clog it this time,” she says with a smile, “That’s the kind of thing that’s a little embarrassing.” Monica does have a few instances of clogging the toilet over her high school career but fortunately none yet this year. “I just didn’t realize the toilet was clogged, sir,” the senior beauty then explains, “I kind of had a bit of an emergency after gym class today and just ran in there and sat down without even noticing that anything was wrong.” Miss Musso echoes that point. “No one is saying that you purposely clogged the toilet, Monica,” the spandex-clad gym teacher tells her. “The clog was down in the bend at the bottom of the bowl,” Miss Musso explains, “So even if you were more careful and checked out the toilet first, I doubt if you would have noticed that it was clogged.” “And, fortunately, the toilet didn’t overflow when you flushed it,” the sexy gym teacher notes, “The water did come up to the top of the bowl but fortunately it didn’t overflow.”

“It’s not a serious offense -- We can’t really blame you that much for not knowing the toilet was clogged,” I then point out, “But under TVPC rules, you’re still responsible for doing your bowel movement someplace other than a properly functioning toilet.” I’m a little surprised, though, to hear of Monica actually doing a bowel movement in the girls’ locker room bathroom. “I thought you hated using that bathroom in the locker room -- At least for bowel movements,” I tell her, “As I recall you had a panty-soiling in gym class last year because you wouldn’t use it.” “Yeah -- one last year and two when I was a sophomore,” Monica admits, “It’s true that I really don’t like going in there when it’s more than just a pee.” “It’s not so much that it’s dirty or anything like that -- It’s just that it’s usually crowded so there really isn’t much privacy,” she explains, “I think just about every girl pees in there but likes to go somewhere else for more privacy when she has to do more than that.” “But it’s a lot better than going in my pants, sir,” she then points out, “That’s even more embarrassing than clogging the toilet.” “I had an emergency and it was pretty much either one of those toilets or in my pants,” Monica says. She tells us that she did avoid going before gym class with the intent of holding it in until next period and going in the girls’ room up here on the 2nd floor. But she also explains that she suddenly had to go a lot worse during gym class and she barely made it back to those toilets in time. “It was either in there, sir, or in my pants,” she reiterates, “And I just really didn’t want to mess in my pants.” Hearing all that, I commend Monica for apparently having learned her lesson and for doing a bowel movement in there when she needed to.

For punishment, I sentence Monica to serve 2 hours of detention and to write, “I will not defecate in a clogged toilet in school again” 200 times. But I also not some irony in this situation. I explain to Monica that since she has no prior toilet offenses this school year, she’d have only gotten a warning had she instead just gone in her pants. “Yeah -- But then I still have a mess in my pants to deal with,” Monica tells me, “I’d rather do a little writing and serve some detention than have to deal with a mess in my pants.”

Calling the next matter before the TVPC, we have a visit from Ms. Montgomery -- a new English and Journalism teacher at our school. She’s also the parent of a quite attractive brunette named Aria and it’s apparently in that capacity that she’s asked to appear before the TVPC today. Faithful readers of the TVPC may remember Aria from a TVPC Special Session back in August where we punished members of the school band for toilet violations at this past summer’s band camp. Aria -- along with her friends Spencer and Emily -- were punished for sticking another girl’s wrist in warm water while she slept thereby inducing her to wet her bed. Aria, an always fashionable junior brunette, is here with her mom.

I welcome Ms. Montgomery to the meeting and I note that she doesn’t look happy. I mean, she REALLY doesn’t look happy. “My daughter has something that she would like to tell you,” Ms. Montgomery then says. I know that’s only a figure of speech but looking over at Aria, it’s more than apparent that she really doesn’t want to tell us anything right now. But her mom is not about to let her get away with that. “Aria has something to tell you about that 500 times writing assignment she handed in for the bedwetting incident at band camp last summer,” the pretty English teacher then explains. Still, it’s rather apparent that whatever it is, Aria doesn’t really want to tell us. Ms. Montgomery, however, quickly runs out of patience with her daughter’s stalling. “TELL THEM!” she yells angrily at her very apprehensive daughter, “You’re in enough trouble already so unless you want to get in even more trouble, tell them what you did.”

Aria then reluctantly admits that she didn’t actually write the 500 times punishment assignment that she handed in. “I paid a neighbor $50 to write it for me,” Aria confesses, “She’s in college and she needed the money.” “Like we don’t need the money,” her mom then yells at her, “Is that what you do with the money I give you?” Aria just stands there stoically -- no doubt starting to contemplate how much trouble she’s in. “I don’t know what has gotten into you lately, Aria,” her mom admonishes her, “First, you and your friends pull that stupid bedwetting trick on Hanna and then you pull a stupid stunt like this.” “I thought I raised you to have some morals, young lady,” she continues, “But right now, you seem like nothing but a PRETTY LITTLE LIAR.”

“It was just a punishment assignment,” the pretty brunette then answers back, “I mean, I know I should have done it myself but I just paid someone to do it for me.” “It was 500 times -- It would have taken forever to write,” Aria complains, “And just writing the same sentence over and over again is just so tedious and boring.” “It’s supposed to be tedious and boring -- It’s a punishment,” her mother yells, “That’s the whole point of something being a punishment.” “If it was fun, then it wouldn’t be much of a punishment now, would it?” she asks Aria -- albeit rhetorically. And this time Aria is smart enough to realize that any excuses aren’t going to help her now.

Checking with Aria, she assures me that she did do the 1,000 word letter of apology to Hanna. “I did write the apology letter myself -- I swear,” she tells me, “It was just the 500 times writing that I didn’t do.” And, of course, we have proof that she served the detention that I assigned. I note all that for the record. I also note that the sentence she was required to write was “I will not induce others to wet their bed or otherwise have an accident in school or at band camp again.” I then turn and address Aria directly. “Well, young lady,” I tell her, “Now you’re going to have to write the sentence 1,000 times.” Not surprisingly, she’s not happy to hear that. “A THOUSAND times, sir?” she asks. “Yes, a THOUSAND times,” I tell her, “You had 500 times to write and you didn’t do it, so now it’s 1,000 times.” Aria then points out that it’s a very long sentence and writing it 1,000 times amounts to an awful lot of writing to do. “All the more reason you should have written the 500 times when you had the chance,” her mother tells her, “You’re lucky you didn’t get 1,000 times originally for the bedwetting prank and you’re lucky it isn’t FIVE thousand times after paying someone to write a punishment for you.” Her mom’s harsh words seem to have put Aria in her place a bit -- although I doubt she feels all that lucky now.

“Sir?” she then asks me respectfully, “How long do I have to finish the 1,000 times?” “You have one week from today to finish it,” I tell her, “All writing assignments are due in one week from when they are assigned.” She looks at me distressed -- no doubt about to tell me that she can’t finish it all in one week. “Oh -- I think you’ll manage to finish it in one week,” I tell her. I then explain that this would be the 2nd due date for this punishment assignment. “So if you don’t have it finished on time this time, we not only double the punishment again,” I point out to her, “But you go on toilet suspension until it’s all done.” That, of course, gets Aria’s attention immediately. “Toilet suspension?” she asks. “Yes, toilet suspension,” I tell her, “If it’s not done in a week you’ll not enjoy the privilege of using school bathrooms until the assignment is done.” “In the meantime, you’ll also serve detention until the punishment is completed,” I tell her and note for the record, “That’ll give you some time to work on the punishment so you can get it done on time.” “And you’ll have plenty of time to work on it at home as well,” Ms. Montgomery adds, “Because you’re going to be grounded for long after you’re done with this writing.” Hopefully, this will be last we’ll see of Aria on this particular matter.

Faithful readers of the TVPC should have no trouble recognizing Claudia, whom I call before our committee for our last case of the afternoon. Claudia, now a senior, has a long history of panty-soiling accidents throughout her high school career and even a few toilet suspensions for using bathrooms like the one in the nurse’s office when she shouldn’t have. She’s a talented violinist who is often a featured performer -- either as a soloist or as part of something we call the “PARTY OF FIVE ensemble” -- at school music shows. But these performances -- musically spectacular as they may have been -- have often been marred by panty-soiling accidents and other toilet violations at the performance. Claudia, a petite brunette, has blossomed quite nicely into a very pretty young woman, but her toileting issues still seem to be a continuing problem for her.

But as I look over the Violation Report in this case, filed by her English Teacher Miss Johnson, I am most pleasantly surprised. I see that the violation today is actually “Late to Class for Bathroom Purposes” rather than yet another “Panty-Soiling” violation. “Really?” I ask Miss Johnson, a tone of surprise in my voice, “Claudia was late to class because she was actually using the toilet this time.” The assumption, of course, being that she used it for a bowel movement and that’s why it took longer than the passing time between classes. “Apparently so, Mr. Chairman,” Mrs. Johnson tells me, “I’ve got nothing to actually prove that but that’s what Claudia told me and obviously she’s got nothing in her pants now but her behind.” The assembled crowd giggles a bit at that comment. Claudia, on the other hand, seems beaming with pride. “Yes sir -- I was using the toilet,” the petite and likable senior beauty tells me, “It’s just that it took a little while and by the time I was done, I was late for English.”

Quite frankly, I’m a bit surprised that Miss Johnson would bring a charge like this -- she’s not very strict to begin with and Miss Johnson, like pretty much everyone else, would surely want to encourage Claudia to be doing her bowel movements in the toilet rather than in her pants. But it is, of course, a toilet violation to be late for class like this and the TVPC must punish it just as it must punish all toilet violations. Still, it’s a pleasure to see Claudia before us not in soiled panties or not facing a toilet suspension for going to the bathroom someplace other than in one of the student girls’ rooms. “Obviously, I can’t excuse being late for class -- even when it’s because you were using the toilet,” I tell the petite beauty, “But I must say that I’m happy to hear of you using the girls’ room when you need to.” “It’s certainly a pleasure not to have to be punishing you for messing in your panties or putting you on toilet suspension for having a bowel movement in the nurse’s office or some other bathroom you shouldn’t have been using.”

“I’m a senior now, sir,” Claudia tells me, “I know I just can’t keep going poop in my panties like I used to do.” “I know I have to learn to start doing it in school when I need to,” she explains, “I know I’m getting too old to be going in my pants anymore.” “I mean, I always pee at school, sir,” Claudia explains further, “Now I just need to learn to go the other way, too.” “I’m just tired of having messes in my panties all time,” Claudia continues, “That’s just really disgusting and, as I said, I just can’t keep doing that anymore.” “And I‘m tired of having to clean out messy panties, too,” Claudia adds, “That‘s probably the grossest thing ever -- especially when the mess is a big one that‘s been in my panties a while.” “Well, that’s a really commendable attitude, Claudia,” I tell her, “I’m really happy to hear that.” “Yes, sir, and that’s the other thing, sir,” she then tells me, “I’m really tired of getting punished for bathroom stuff all the time.” “I’m really tired of spending my weekends writing out lines,” she continues, “And I’m tired of having to stay for detention so much and especially when I have to sit on the toilet for detention.” “And being on toilet suspension is the worst,” the petite senior beauty laments, “Then I have to pee in my pants as well as mess in them.” “Well, that’s good, Claudia,” I tell her with a smile, “Because I had gotten really tired, as well, of having to punish you for all that.” She beams a broad smile back at me. “You know, I really still don’t like going at school -- especially when it’s poop,” she adds, “But I have to learn that sometimes I have no choice and just have to do it.”

“And today?” I ask Claudia. Claudia explains that today she had to go and she went into the girls’ room to do it between classes -- before her English class 7th period.” “I went in the toilet, sir -- I went #2 in the girls’ room there in the New Addition,” she says, “It’s just by the time I was done wiping myself and all, I was late for Miss Johnson’s class.” Looking over at Miss Johnson, I must say, as I noted before, that I’m surprised she went ahead and wrote Claudia up for this. I mean, Claudia did most certainly commit a toilet violation and it’s certainly within Miss Johnson’s prerogative to write her up for it, but I just wouldn’t think that she would. I don’t actually ask her about but I think the kindly English teacher could probably guess what I was thinking.

“You know it wasn’t like Claudia was only a little late for my class today,” Miss Johnson notes, “I mean, I’m as happy as anyone that she was able to use the toilet in school today, but it wasn’t like she got to my class only a little after the bell.” “If girls are only a little late and then just quietly come in and sit down and get settled, I don’t like to make an issue of it,” the young and pretty English Teacher explains, “I’d rather they take the time to go to the bathroom if they really need to and not have to disrupt the class to ask for a girls‘ room pass later.” “And it’s certainly less disruptive to do that than to mess their panties in my class,” she adds. She then explains, though, that Claudia was actually 5 minutes late for class. “I’m sorry, Claudia,” Miss Johnson says as she turns and faces the senior brunette, “I know you were having a bowel movement in the girls’ room and I know that wasn’t easy for you.” “But I just can’t excuse you being that late for class -- I just can’t,” she tells the girl, “If it were only a minute or so, I could let it go, but I can’t let it go when you’re 5 minutes late.”

Claudia nods her head to Miss Johnson indicating that she understands. But I want to know more. “You didn’t actually use the toilet between classes did you, Claudia?” Mrs. Adler, a new TVPC member, asks her, “I mean, I assume you actually went into the girls’ room after your 6th period class, but you didn’t actually do anything right then, did you?”
As Mrs. Adler questions her, we learn that Claudia did rush to the girls’ room in the passing time after her 6th period Algebra class. She tells us that she went in, took a stall and actually sat down on the toilet. “I had to go bad and I knew I had to go -- I knew I couldn’t hold it in until I got home today,” Claudia explains, “So I went in there and sat down on the toilet like I was supposed to.” “But I just couldn’t go -- I just couldn’t -- while all those other girls were in there between classes,” Claudia explains further, “I knew I need to use the toilet but I just couldn’t with some many other girls in there -- I just couldn’t go poop like that.” “So you waited until the girls’ room cleared out when the bell for 7th period rang?” Mrs. Adler asks her, “You waited until you were alone in there before you actually did your bowel movement?” “Yes, Ma’am,” Claudia answers, “I wanted to do it then, but I just couldn’t do it with the girls’ room crowded like that -- not for a poop.” “But I did do it in the toilet -- I went poop in the toilet, I swear,” Claudia is quick to point out, “I just did it later when the girls’ room cleared out.“ “I’m sorry, Miss Johnson,“ Claudia then says to her English Teacher, “But by the time I was done with wiping myself and everything, I was really late to class.”

“Well, obviously, that explains everything,” I then note for the record. Turning then again to Claudia, I explain that it’s still commendable that she did have a bowel movement in school today, but that she needs to find a better way to handle that. “You just can’t keep being late for class even if it is to do a bowel movement in the girls’ room,” I explain, “Maybe you’re going to have to learn to do it with other girls in the bathroom as well.” “Still, it’s not a serious offense this time,” I tell her, “But if it keeps happening a lot, I’m afraid your punishments will keep getting worse. Claudia tells me that she understands. In the meantime, I give her a choice of either serving one hour of detention or writing “I will not be late for class again” 100 times. Claudia, pleasantly surprised that her punishment is so light, chooses the writing assignment. Looking over at Miss Johnson, she, too, seems pleased that Claudia’s punishment is so light.

So concludes another session of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee.
Meeting adjourned at 4:18 PM.

Keep up the good work!

Arnold, I'm very pleased to see that the important and evidently very necessary work of the TVPC carries on and that you continue to provide such meticulous reports for our entertain...uh, I mean, edification.
