One day Andrew’s mother and father were tak-
ing him to see his grandma and grandpa. Before
they put him in the car his mother said, “Andrew,
do you have to go pee?”
Andrew said, “No, no, no, no, no.”
His father said, very slowly and clearly,

“Andrew, do you have to go pee?”
“No, no, no, no,” said Andrew. “I have decided

never to go pee again.”
So they put Andrew into the car,
fastened his seatbelt and gave him lots of
books, and lots of toys, and lots of crayons,
and drove off down the road—VAROOMMM.
They had been driving for just one minute
when Andrew yelled, “I HAVE TO GO PEE!”
“YIKES,” said the father.
“OH NO,” said the mother.

Then the father said, “Now, Andrew, wait just
five minutes. In five minutes we will come to a
gas station where you can go pee.”
Andrew said, “I have to go pee RIGHT NOW!”
So the mother stopped the car—

SCREEEEECH. Andrew jumped out of the car
and peed behind a bush.
When they got to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s
house, Andrew wanted to go out to play. It was
snowing, and he needed a snowsuit. Before they
put on the snowsuit, the mother and the father and
the grandma and the grandpa all said, “ANDREW!
DO YOU HAVE TO GO PEE?”

So they put on Andrew’s snowsuit. It had five zip-
pers, 10 buckles and 17 snaps. It took them half an
hour to get the snowsuit on.
Andrew walked out into the back yard, threw one

snowball and yelled, “I HAVE TO GO PEE.”
The father and the mother and the grandma
and the grandpa all ran outside, got Andrew
out of the snowsuit and carried him to the
bathroom.
When Andrew came back down they had a
nice long dinner. Then it was time for Andrew
to go to bed.
Before they put Andrew into bed, the mother

and the father and the grandma and the
grandpa all said, “ANDREW! DO YOU HAVE
TO GO PEE?”

So his mother gave him a kiss, and his father
gave him a kiss, and his grandma gave him a
kiss, and his grandpa gave him a kiss.
“Just wait,” said the mother, “he’s going to yell

and say he has to go pee.”
“Oh,” said the father, “he does it every night.

It’s driving me crazy.”
The grandmother said, “I never had these

problems with my children.”
They waited for five minutes, 10 minutes, 15

minutes, 20 minutes.
The father said, “I think he is asleep.”
The mother said, “Yes, I think he is asleep.”
The grandmother said, “He is definitely

asleep and he didn’t yell and say he had to go
pee.”
Then Andrew said, “I wet my bed.”
So the mother and the father and the grand-

ma and the grandpa all changed Andrew’s
bed and Andrew’s pajamas. Then the mother
gave him a kiss, and the father gave him a
kiss, and the grandma gave him a kiss, and
the grandpa gave him a kiss, and the
grownups all went downstairs.
They waited five minutes, 10 minutes, 15 min-
utes, 20 minutes, and from upstairs Andrew
yelled, “GRANDPA, DO YOU HAVE TO GO PEE?”
And Grandpa said, “Why, yes, I think I do.”
Andrew said, “Well, so do I.”
So they both went to the bathroom and peed in

the toilet, and Andrew did not wet his bed again
that night, not even once.
