The other day, Owen was Matt Wieters, he (Owen, not Matt Wieters) took a nap. You see, he was wearing his Orioles hat, Matt Wieters shirt, baseball pants, and baseball socks. And batting glove.
The hat came off. The batting glove didn’t—a small concession for nap compliance. And the pull-up never went on. He (again, Owen not Matt Wieters--but I would guess this would apply to Wieters also) has been napping without a pull up with no leaks lately, so I thought the streak would continue. The streak didn’t continue, the leak did.
He peed. Hard. Jersey wet, pants wet. Unfortunately, he wasn’t wearing a cup that would have partially buffered the spill. Glove and socks still intact. Owen woke up crying. Sure, he was wet. But I’m sure the biggest disappointment was that he could no longer be Matt Wieters. As a noteworthy aside, Chase Utley, Derek Lee, Ryan Braun, and a numberless Pirate were all in the wash (the uniforms, not the players themselves). Thinking quickly, I assured him that he could be Caleb’s Matt Wieters (since Teri got two jerseys in Baltimore and we had extra pants). Problem solved.
When Owen left the clubhouse, I mean bedroom, he told Caleb, “Caleb, I’m wearing your Matt Wieters since I just peed in my Matt Wieters. Without looking up from his game, Caleb said, “Okay, just don’t pee in my Matt Weiters.” Never before had that conversation taken place.
